Jack's Roommate, moved out...

An update on "Jack's Roommate"....Jack's Roommate had become deceased.  Due to personality conflicts and the fact that awesomeness was too much to bear, the band formerly known as Jack's Roommate has been dispatched.  During the grieving process (which lasted about 30 seconds), all former active members of the band formerly known as Jack's Roommate felt a surge of even greater awesomeness and took the name of "The Roxtar Project".

Why would anyone make such a drastic change?  Why does anyone do anything?  In this case we had our reasons...for one, no member of the band has a roommate by the name of Jack.  We feel strongly about being truthful and honest, no sense in  false advertising.  Roc Treese has had 'ROXTAR' on his license plate for years and they always said that would make a cool band name.  After extensive market research and random testing accross several Western States it was determined that the name ROXTAR on it's own resembled to closely a webdesign company, and an Alternative hair band of the same name in Wisconsin. 

Then, without any warning, Roc said, how about "The Roxtar Project?"...and a band was born. 

We got off to a really good start as a three piece doing mostly classic rock stuff like Cream, CCR, Kravitz, ZZTop.  We wanted a 4th member to play keys, and possibly vocals....instead we got a choir teacher from Nampa, who ROCKS!  Here's the final line up of 'The Roxtar Project'


Lisa Marie - She comes to us with 30+ years exp.  She actually made a full time living fronting a cover band.  Rumor has it, she's very popular in Germany.  Her 'skills' include vocals, guitar, bass, keys, and drums.  in R.T.P. she is our primary bassist and sings lead on most of our songs.

ROC - Our founder and guitarist.  He keeps us in check, mostly tempo wise.  He brings amazing guitar talent, vocals, and the license place that our band was named after.  I don't think he's very popular in Germany, but rumor has it he still takes baths with his little rubber ducky.  We still love him!


Cynthia - Not a lot to say about Cynthia at this point as I really haven't gotten to know her yet.  I know she loves music, teaches a choir at an Arts school, and plays lots of instruments, including keys, guitar, bass, flute, and a lute.  For us, she plays keys primarily, rhythm guitar, bass, and vocals. Seriously, how many people do you know that play a lute?  Or know what a lute is for that matter...


Brian - I'm the rookie in the group, and the youngest of the bunch.  I'm enthusiastic to say the least.  Once I got the band name, I've created accounts in Facebook, Myspace, ReverbNation, and you can follow us on twitter @ProjectRoxtar.  I guess I'm gonna be a Social Networking / Marketing guy.  Besides that I play the drums and sing.  I'll probably play the guitar and bass too, but that's not for today.  I know, I'm singing, weird.

So for fair warning to you, this project is my new hobby and I'm sure I'll be writing more.  If you want information on booking us for a party, that's what we do best, send an email to theroxtarproject@gmail.com
