Artist History Real Tomato Ketchup was created in the living room of the band's basist, Joey Difranco. Joey, along with Ryan Grim and Jordan Posner started a band with the percussionist extrodinair, Joe Mckinnon. Joe was kicked out of the band due to not enough talent and the three dredged on. About 3 months from the birth of the band they decided to bring in the saxophone master Rem Merry. Shortly after Rem's induction into the band, Joey, Ryan and Jordan brought in their close friend, Dan Grueber to accompany the band on drums. Now that the band was finaly complete they started to rehearse, and record. Although the band had recorded Seven Short Songs when they were first born they decided to start recording some new material. Soon the new album Guava Lava was born, although the recognized Guava Lava album today is different from the original it still contains some of the first songs ever recorded as a full band. The band played it's first gig shortly after recording the original Guava Lava. This show was at a close friends Birthday Party. Although this show was not a total success the band still played on. Real Tomato Ketchup, RTK, grew stronger and stronger and was now gaining support from long time friend John Kennard. The band broke up due to some tension among band members but the band members realized that the band was more important than the little matters that created the tension, so the band reformed and has had more drive than ever before. With many new songs coming to light the band has nothing but good things to come.
