David Tamura is a Japanese-American New York City-based multi-instrumentalist. He was a member of Von LMO's band on the album Red Resistor, which was described as "brilliantly tight". He has played with many musicians on the New York noise rock scene. He is one of the main forces behind The Jazzfakers, where he plays guitar, keyboards, and saxophone; one reviewer writes "it’s him that provides the powdery, blues-rich tenor melody that boards the loose-boned march of Oh Rise New, adding a recognizable jazz voice to the restless buzz-keyboard swirls and mosquito-drill guitar, the rambling bass tune and the childlike organ which hangs and fidgets on a single disruptive chord".
