About Me

Nova Red
Band Bio:
This house of friendship began as two, Rahul Borkar and Praveen Arla, at an early age in hometown Louisville, Ky. Both were passionate and talented musicians invested into the hardcore/rock music scene and playing in several bands. A division of styles emerged as Rahul began working with main stream rock band, Breckinridge, on guitars and Praveen playing guitars in the Indie rock band, Christiansen, signing to Eulogy and later to Revelation records.
It was not until several years later after extensive touring, major label offers, and career changes that these two friends would reemerge their writing styles to form a hybrid of both main stream and indie music in the form of Nova Red. Finding musicians to play shows was never an issue, but finding the perfect combination of complementary souls willing to play was difficult.
It was not until long-time friend, Brad Compton, joined after a tour of chemistry experimentation in California that the band was solidifying. Completing this line up joined Bruce La France and Matt Taul from Tantric/Days of the New in 2006
Currently, the band is tracking a new series of songs with rock producer Malcolm Springer due for delivery in Summer 2007.
Nova Red originate from the Smashing Pumpkins/Jane's Addiction-type punk/grunge sound -LMN
Powerful, melodic and rockin' in that memorable fashion -Eddy Metal
