RadioRNR Artist: Bateman Red

Monday, December 21st, 2009

batemanred_profilepicIn the spring of 2007, the destruction of a Southeast Texas Rock Band brought on the formation of a new powerhouse in Texas Rock:  BATEMAN RED!

With a chunky, thundering, rhythmic pulse and catchy, Zeppelin-esqe hooks, Bateman Red showcases the ultimate musical triumvirate:  charisma, talent, and balls out ROCK;  bassist Ryan C.,  drummer  Justin,  Jay Cantu on Harps and Brass,  and guitarist/vocalist Nave crank out what can only be described as music to have a good time to.

Whether it’s a blistering hour-long set or a full 3 hour show of  originals spiced with rocks most Bad-A$ covers, Bateman Red always delivers and never disappoints.  After winning Texas Supernova’s Band Wars 2009 at Fitzgerald’s, Bateman Red is definitely in high demand on the North Side of Houston.

Taking cues from such heroes as Led Zeppelin, Guns and Roses, and somehow, fittingly, the Texas country music scene, Bateman Red invents a new sound of it’s own. This is a Must-See live show!!! Helping revitalize a genre, Bateman Red concentrates on the one thing that actually matters- Making good rock records that you cannot help but groove to.

RadioRNR Artist: Based On Fiction

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Twas a foggy night in a small Okie town, when Joshua Morgan, Ryan Bartholemule Mills and Gary Reid went riding sweet motor scooters. They stopped at a fork in the road and said “Hey man, let’s start a band!” So they did…and it sucked.

They boys grew older and more mature. Gary moved off to a western town in the plains of great Wyoming and things were looking down for the boys of picture perfect. However, the days went by and people changed. One day Gary was on a school bus going to the nearby town of Sundance for a footie-ball game. He was

listening to a band that starts with a Blink and ends with an 182, when a young blonde headed boy named Austin, who’s nature was as sweet as the tulips, danced and softly said “Excuse me Mr. but is that Blink 182 I hear?” Gary’s Okie instincts sprung out the words: “Oh yeah shoot dang lets have a hoe-down…or perhaps a hootnanny!”

Well to make a long story short: Mark, Tom and Travis of Blink 182 inspired the boys to start up a sock-hoppin’ band with a couple little diddy’s. Gary and Austin started jamming out and met this dude called Case Maranville who let them cut a record. They met back up with their old friends from Oklahoma, Josh and Ryan. Together they are Based On Fiction.

So come to a show, buy our CD, make us breakfast…it doesn’t matter.
Just meet us…ya naw mane?
