We are Raja Asana from St.Louis, MO. We consist of four members as of right now. Still looking for the fifth member with a hopeful prospect in mind. So far it's Chris Rahubka- guitars, Ryan Willenbrock- bass/vocals, Donald Berube- guitars/vocals, and Jon Berube- lead vocals/percussion. Chris and Ryan were both in bands in the past such as Icarus and Writhe. Donald and Jon were also in bands together in the past such as Asyd and Skrimshanker. The member we are looking for is a primary drummer. That's right, two drummers, (hopefully). Jon will actually not be playing drums the whole time. Just when the parts call for it. It should make for a pretty interesting show don't you think? The premise is simple, play music and have a good time, don't let boundaries stop us, and refuse to stifle any creative input. Hopefully you like what you hear, and we're always looking for suggestions, constructive criticism, and respective opinions.
It's all on this page. We've been together for two months.
We have all played live before. Writhe and Skrimshanker have actually played a show or two together! But, until we have enough material and resources, we are just writing and recording.
Anyone that has ever played music, and we have seen or heard it, has been an inspiration to us. And Metallica...
Jon uses Pearl drums, DW9000 pedals, Yamaha hardware, Zyldian and Sabian cymbals, and a Shure sm58 microphone. Ryan uses a Fender amp, Ibanez and Jackson bass, and a Fender cab. Chris uses a Marshall amp, Ernie Ball strings, Dunlop picks, an Orange cab, Ibanez guitars, Boss and Line 6 pedals, and monster cables. Donald plays Ibanez amp, cab and guitars, and Line 6 pedals. ALL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
