Rex Elwin Reade: (Vocals, Guitar & Bass) - After wading through
one too many snow banks on old Chicago's North side, he gladly
migrated to the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. A five time
"Best Song" winner with the West Coast Songwriter's Association,
Rex can now be found jammin' with his rockasaurus Relyks buddies.
Eric Boutte': (Vocals, Lead Guitar) - An East Bay native, Eric is a veteran Bay Area perfomer. Rock & Roll guitar licks from Chuck Berry to Keith Richards,
Jimi Hendrex to Dicky Betts. Blues moves ala Eric Clapton to Buddy Guy,
Taj Mahal to T Bone Walker. We just call him the "Fender Bender!"
John Propersi: (Vocals, Guitar & Bass) - A long time member of
almost every Garage Band in the area, Johns goal is to bring
back the music that was king when the SuperBee was a Muscle
Car and you could Cruise-The-Main;
Bob Insalaco: (Vocals, Guitar & Drums) - Bobs been part of many
different music scenes around the Bay Area. He played Latin
music in the Mission in the 70s, a charter member of the SF Punk
Rock scene in the late 70s and toured internationally with bands
such as The Looters, The Symptons and Crispy Baby.

The Relyks are four musicians with different backgrounds that blend together to create a unique sound. Our set list is a collection of songs that have their place in history as well as in our hearts. We want songs that will be dancable but still have that something different. If we like a song, it's in. Don't be surprised when you hear Jonny Cash, Taj Majal and the Clash all in the same set. Get ready to have a good time!
Hi and many thanks for the add from the world's smallest prog/psych label - Fruit de Mer Records. Hope you and your friends enjoy our new (ok, our only) single - Small Faces' Ogden's meets Van der Graaf Generator's Theme One - playing now at www. myspace. com/fdmer & www. myspace. com/fdmer2 (for full stereo effect). Views, reviews, ideas for future releases all gratefully received, not to mention the odd order - we've only pressed up 300 on cool green vinyl, and we're getting some great reviews (well, we think they're great anyway)
