Singer/Songwriter Banastre Tarleton and his band cover the entire realm of rock music - from hard rock to power pop; punk to new wave; and, of course, the standard rock anthems and ballads.Band/artist history
Banastre Tarleton is the second son of a US Navy Petty Officer and World War II Australian war bride. His early years were spent in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Mexico, Missouri. When he was ten the family finally decided to settle in Missouri, in part, to be near the fathers parents, who helped raise Banastre and his brother.
Banastre planned a career in the military but a motorcycle accident during his high school senior year landed him in the hospital with a serious knee injury. While recovering, he watched The Dave Clark Five and The Kinks perform on national television and, as they say, the rest is history.
He cut his rock n roll teeth with Missouri favorites The Koxmen and Pandoras Box, and then went on to form Triphammer, a hard rock powerhouse complete with make up, platform boots, and a stage show a la Alice Cooper and KISS. Triphammer won critical acclaim with Panzer President, a single about Nixon and the Watergate Scandal, but disbanded after six years of extreme decibel levels and Seventies-style mayhem.
Taking the advice of a friend in the business, Banastre started Banastre Tarleton Band as a vehicle for his songwriting. He now has 32 self-produced releases on his own label, Green Horse, and four more on Caprice International, a company founded by former Bill Haley & the Comets keyboardist, Joey Welz. BTs music has been included on the original compilation projects, KSHE Seeds Vol. 2 and KFMZ Missouris Best. His 80s power pop single, Shes My Favorite Girl, reached the Billboard Top 40 charts. Electric Women (Midwest College Radio), Cruisin (Cash Box/Indie Focus), Attack Iraq, (#1 Central Missouri MP3) and Eye for an Eye (#1 in Costa Rica), have all received substantial airplay.
A loyal and ever-growing fan base has been established from years of touring throughout the United States and Canada. He has headlined shows from Las Vegas to Daytona Beach and been the opening act for Janis Joplin (he was fresh out of high school), Rush, The Canned Heat, Mel and Tim, Missouri, The Guess Who, Uriah Heep, The Ventures, Twisted Sister, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Head East, The Rascals, and Molly Hatchet.
Banastre Tarleton is currently playing with guitarist-extraordinaire Randy Beeman in a duo called Oatmeal for the Foxhounds MK II and performs a vintage keyboard show as a solo artist. On some nights he can be seen "rockin' the house" with guitarist Noah Spaeder, bassist Todd Russell, and a drum machine named Jack Beatoffski in the latest incarnation of BTB. His musical therapy project, All You Need Is Love, has entertained patients and staff at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee; Childrens Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas; and UMMC Childrens Hospital at the University of Missouri in Columbia. The project participates in many worthwhile events, including the Jerry Lewis Telethons, Kinkos Kids Day, and Burns Recovered Camps. Banastre Tarleton is alive and well and still going strong with a musical career that has spanned three decades.Have you performed in front of an audience?Banastre Tarleton lives in Columbia, Missouri and continues to perform at venues throughout the midwest.
