David "Gleeso" Gleeson (born 1968) is the lead singer of The Screaming Jets.[1]
Dave Gleeson made his stage debut in 1978, with his school choir at the Abermain Eisteddfod.
Dave played first grade NRL for the Sydney Roosters from 1985-1992, scoring 38 tries.
At 11 years old he won $10 in a talent contest at Cardiff Worker's Club singing Monster's Holiday with a friend.

By 1989, Gleeson, Grant Walmsley, Paul Woseen, Richard Lara and drummer Brad Heaney had formed The Screaming Jets and within twelve months had clocked up more than 280 live shows, as they quickly established a reputation for being one of the best young live bands in Australia, winning the praises and support slots of The Angels, The Choirboys and The Radiators.
By late 1989, The Screaming Jets had won youth radio station Triple J's National Band Competition. They signed a recording deal with the leading independent label rooArt.
The Screaming Jets moved from their hometown Newcastle to Sydney's notorious Kings Cross district in early 1990, and recorded their debut album All For One in mostly midnight to dawn sessions at a local studio, after playing live shows seven nights a week.
In 2006, Gleeson appeared as the vocal coach for actress Kate Fischer in the televised celebrity singing competition It Takes Two. He returned to the show in 2007 partnered with TV host Julia Zemiro.
In early 2011, Dave Gleeson was offered a radio show with the Triple M network. By mid-2011, Gleeson was hosting two shows, Access All Areas and Rock Of Ages, interviewing everyone from Jimmy Barnes to Don McLean and giving his inside view of the music industry.
In late 2011, Gleeson recorded an album with his childhood idols The Angels as their new lead singer, and completed a successful national tour. Gleeson also hosts two popular rock-related syndicated shows for the Triple M radio network around Australia.
