Greetings, and welcome to this page for the RPM Project of guitarist and bassist Rich Bates, and guitarist Pat Zelenka, both of The Pat Zelenka Project. Our CD is titled “Tales From The Lansing Underground”, and is available now!
These songs range from old school metal, to weird, ambient instrumentals. Some of our favorites are included here in our MP3 player.
We hope you dig what you hear, and come back often. This CD is currently available from Kunaki CD Distribution for ONLY $4.99!!!! Now THAT'S cheap!
Why so cheap? Because we want this CD in everyone's hands!! (and it doesn't hurt that we got a great deal on the pressing, lol) If you see us in person, we can hook you up for even cheaper. WOW!
This CD was completed as part of the RPM Challenge, a great thing to be a part of if you have been lazy completing a CD, or would just like to have a side project as we have.
