- Red Square Black
Red Square Black was a band formed by Mark Binder of Los Angeles. RSB was an innovative force in the early 1990's playing the LA club scene, melding metal, industrial sequencing and pop sensibilities. Unlike other bands who have followed this blueprint using a DAT w/ a click track, RSB employed a Macintosh cpu onstage, controlled by the drummer with a KAT pad, the Mac handled all sequencing, including a custom light show! All songs were written and composed by Binder and performed by Red Square Black. After several drummers and a band shake-up, the incarnation listed below was picked up by Zoo records, and rehearsals started for a tour. Binder teamed up with future Marilyn Manson /
Rob Zombie guitar playerJohn Lowery (John 5) to replace Paul Noble who originally handled guitar duties, while adding the professional chops of former Ozzy Osborne drummer Randy Castillo and rounding out the band with the multi-talented Angelo. New songs formed and the EP "Square" was released on Oct. 11, 1994. After a short tour, the band split up.The band's only release was an EP: "Red Square Black" released October 11, 1994. Under the Zoo Records label.
