RED CHINA BLUE is a five-member, high-energy, all original hard rock
band from the New Haven area of Connecticut. The band name has been in
use for more than seven years, with several member changes along the way.
We’re pleased to say that we now have the ultimate line-up,
and we're ready to kick your ass.
Keeping the heads bangin' and the asses shakin' with the power
and sound of 5 drummers is our very own
Keith
"Bam-Bam" Cheney. Although Keith is an old timer
with RCB, he too has grooved with the areas finest including LOUD
and DARKEST EXIT. We're all glad he put up with us for so long,
as will you when we tear the roof off at any given show.
Matt
Ballingham, AKA Booter (don't ask) got his start playing
bass with the early 90s local metal outfit SAFE HAVEN. After
four years away from the music scene pursuing other adventures, BOOTER IS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE, and we got him. He makes the
"in your face" rhythm section complete. Along with earth
shaking bass, versatile background harmonies and high-energy stage
show, Matt makes this the most lethal RCB line up ever.
Matt Douglas Completed the current lineup in
August of 2005. Matt began playing guitar in high school. He's
played in several locally successful projects: Safe Haven and Orange Glow.
You can hear some of Matt's original material on his myspace page:

out! Matt plays rhythm & lead guitar, and adds some kick-ass, screamin'
vocals too!
Our front man,
Pat
Pattonelli Joined RCB, returning to the live music scene
after a ten-year hiatus. After keeping himself busy being one of the top disc jockeys
he decided to return to his hard rock roots. Previous bands were
AUTUMN VEIL and ADVERSARY.
on guitar, is
Pete
Michael Ahern. Pete spent years with the
talented boys from TIGHTROPE, and drew inspiration from LYNCH, MALMSTEIN, BEACH and STEVIE RAY. When combined with Booter on
stage, the energy level soars and the audience has no choice but
to get caught up in the insanity.
