About Me

Let's go with the honest approach. The band is pretty much the product of my deciding not to get a real job when I finished Grad School. Needing the best musicians and most agreeable people (with the same goal in mind) to help me accomplish a continued resistance to the trappings of THE MAN, this band formed. So here's a brief history... After several years in Florida and Northern Europe touring as a solo artist, (and doing stints with some really cool band like Vendetta, Strange Daze and Stillborn Panic) I was granted an opportunity to hook up with one of my oldest and closest friends, drummer extraordinaire Rich Pistocchi and my legendarily rocking dad to do some paying gigs. We got a real kick out of what we were doing and knew a ridiculous amount of songs among us. We started getting tons of gigs, laughed alot, paid the bills and soon decided to work a bunch of tunes that I had written over the past couple of years. Within a year and a half, we launched a European tour, landed top-notched legal representation and managed to release a debut album called Daybreak. Enjoying a highly indie-artist friendly environment, we have our effort available on itunes, at Tower Records and at CD Baby. Check it out! Buy IT even! I promise...It doesn't suck!...and I guarantee no Hendrix ripoff riffs, No thinly veiled Pearl Jam covers passed off as 'originals' and no shitty rap-rock!!!....Anyways, as we've started work here some three years later on our next recording effort, we're still out there a few nights per week in the clubs. When you catch us, it's like Forrest's box of Chocolates...you never know...We're working with a very unique dual format with all acoustic sets dominated by moody three-part harmony and have a really raw, power housed, Brit styled rock format that we interchange regularly. Irregardless of the volume, we can state with confidence that our's is the largest songlist likely to be found with over 300 tunes spanning folk, funk, retro, classic, alternative and modern rock. Once Brown Eyed Girl is out of the way, we'll throw you one of ours :p We Invite You to listen here for yourself, and hope to see you at a show soon. Peace, Love & Enjoy the Music!!! the RBB
