The three of us have been a band since 1998. We still love playing together and have no plans to stop.Band/artist history
Clint and Mike rode the alternative wave in the 90's with a band named Radio Bikini which briefly made the local airwaves on WOXY 97X. After the demise of Radio Bikini and a few years apart Clint and Mike reformed and decided to climb back up on the horse... and that horse's name was Kevin. And that band's name was The Faders. Eight years, ten kids and six houses later, The Faders became The Rants.Have you performed in front of an audience?We tried playing dead but the name "The Opposums" was already taken. We have played every Kwikfest (a local outdoor festival) since 2002. We performed irregularly as The Faders at Canal Street Tavern, the premier original music venue in Dayton, Ohio. Special moments? Some guy danced once.
