ROADHOUSE76 were formed by singer/songwriter/guitarist CHOPPER HARRIS & Bass guitarist JBT after their band had split in late 2004.
Chopper contacted PAUL 'THE HITMAN' a drummer he had played with in an earlier project to see if he would be intreasted in joining the two of them in ROADHOUSE76. Paulo jumped at the chance and this was the line up for about three or four months. This time was spent jamming new ideas and trying to recruit a lead guitarist. In walked SONNY MALONE.
The line up was complete.
The band worked hard in the early part of 2005 and were determined that we would not play any gigs until we were completely happy with the set. Chopper was working hard bringing lyrics and ideas for the rest of the band to turn into songs. spending weekends practicing in a small rehearsal room on the outskirts of Coventry.
It was when the owner (Woody) invited music promoter JOHNNY RANDOM along to have a listen to RH76, he was surprised that we hadn't been out gigging and offered us a gig at THE GOLDEN CROSS. We did a low key gig at THE FAIRFAX over Xmas to get us ready for the CROSS gig. It went really well and after a successful gig at THE CROSS we decided it was time to go into the studio to record some of our tracks.
We recorded at THE MOONBASE STUDIOS in Coventry. The three tracks on the CD were ROLLERCOASTER, BLUE SKIES and BACK FROM WAR. We had decided to give this CD away at gigs and to friends ,family and anyone who want a free copy. The reviews and feed back were very positive. More gigs at THE CROSS and JAILHOUSE followed. It was an exciting time for RH76.
The myspace site was getting lots of attention and SONNY had worked hard downloading the tracks and band information over the Internet. We were getting some good feedback from the sites and we were getting quite a following.
It was around this time that we recruited CARLOS to play rhythm guitar which would allow CHOPPER to be more of a front man. Enter phase two of ROADHOUSE76.
