About Me

Radar O’ Reilly is 3-piece rock band that consists of Righteous Richard (vocals, guitar), Death Metal Douglas (bass, vocals - who was on the cover of the Broward New Times in Nov '04) and Sence*Sational (drums, vocals). Radar O’ Reilly has been at it since the middle of 2002 and could be defined more by what it is not rather than what it actually is. This group is proud of the fact that there is nary a trace of nu metal, pop-punk, emo, rap rock/metal or indie rock (well maybe a slight touch) to be found. "Classic Rawk", "Jam Band" and/or "Stoner Rock" fit the motif rather nicely. Fans of hard rock acts such as Monster Magnet, Deep Purple, The Flaming Lips, Queens of the Stone Age, Urge Overkill, Cream, The Who, Led Zep, Cactus and many others (too numerous to mention) may be the ever-lucky populace to benefit from the Radar vibe as it penetrates the sonic astroturf!! Richard ,Douglas and Sence's vocal harmonies put most area acts to shame.The group has performed at various hi-profile schmoozefests including the CITYLINK FEST, the F*ck the Patriot benefit, The "62 Musicians for 62 Years" Dave Daniels of Churchills Birthday Bash, the Miami Rockfest, Bodog Battle of the Bands(finalist) and (last but definitely not least) the annual Death Metal Douglas Birthday Bash.
