Artist History The band was started by George Jarroush on Good Friday of 2002. He was writing some poetry one day while relaxing on the main campus at Rutgers University and wrote two poems called "A View Of 5 Minutes of Life" and "Boeing 747" which would become the band's first songs. Day after day for a week and a half he continued writing these poems/lyrics. His good friend, Matt jasper, asked him if he wanted the poems to be put to music. George agreed and for another week and a half over 15 songs were put to music between the two of them. They decided to start a band. At first they were known as Red Bullseye, but only for about a week. The two of them sat down and came up with the name Red Electric. But they couldn't only have a band with the two of them. Within two weeks they found a bassist and a drummer, and it looked like they were off to a swinging start. But one thing was missing...lead guitar. Matt was the rhythm guitarist, and George couldn't play. So the search began. George found their first lead guitarist, Derek Scattergood, but unfortunately styles clashed as Derek was a pop/punk guitarist and George wanted an alt rock sound. Derek left after a week. The search continued and this time Matt found Don Weber, the band's lead guitarist. The band has been together for a little over 2 months but so far they have played three show to relatively large audiences (all shows were on the Rutgers campus, being that all the members are all Rutgers students). In June the group is hitting the studio to workon their first demo album The Great Hall EP, and will hopefully be playing shows all over New Jersey over the summer and beyond.
