RIAR was a very real band, started in 1994 in Benton City Wa.
The Original line up was;
Vocals - James Gottula
Lead Guitar - Jeremy Malone (The Grumpy Ole Headbanger)
Rhythm Guitar - Levi Gear
Bass - Jeff Peyton
Drums - Michelle Peyton
The line up changed a few times over the years, but the songs remained.
As RIAR has since disbanded, it still remains a wonderful memory for all of us who were there and once had a very loyal following. This is a project that I have wanted to do for a long time. Back in the 90's we didn't have the ability to make good recordings. If people wanted to hear us, they had to come to a live show.
So, with the aid of AI and new ways to remaster songs, I am able to finally do what we all dreamed of doing back then. This project is not only for the purpose of giving all of the former members of RIAR (and to remember our fallen brother Mark Himenez), but to our fans that always wanted us to record, the ability to re-live something that was special.
I am always asked what RIAR means.
Definition - RIAR: Drunk bass player.
We were all sitting around the table after practice brainstorming what to call ourselves. We had been drinking and all of a sudden Jeff let out this yawn that sounded like a roar, it popped into my head RIAR, and it just stuck.
All of the songs are original RIAR songs written by the band over the years. Some have been recreated using new tools (including AI). But make no mistake they were all written by and performed by RIAR.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
RIAR performed all over. Every show was both nerve racking (you never knew all of the logistics, or technical issues that would pop up), and a pure rush.
Your musical influences
Iron Maiden, Quiet RIOT, Savatage, Metalica, Dream Theatre, RUSH, REO Speedwagon, and the list goes on. Mostly hard to heavy Rock.
Anything else?
RIAR was a blast. It may never be a band again. But we all believe that what we created was magical.
