Band Bio:



This house of friendship began as two, Rahul Borkar and Praveen Arla, at an early age in hometown Louisville, Ky. Both were passionate and talented musicians invested into the hardcore/rock music scene and playing in several bands. A division of styles emerged as Rahul began working with main stream rock band, Breckinridge, on guitars and Praveen playing guitars in the Indie rock band, Christiansen, signing to Eulogy and later to Revelation records.



It was not until several years later after extensive touring, major label offers, and career changes that these two friends would reemerge their writing styles to form a hybrid of both main stream and indie music in the form of Nova Red. Finding musicians to play shows was never an issue, but finding the perfect combination of complementary souls willing to play was difficult.



In late October 2005 Bruce LaFrance moved to Louisville, KY from Michigan to start touring with Tantric. Not having a full-time Bassist, Rahul asking Bruce first to fill-in for a show, then to join Nova Red shortly thereafter.



But, it was not until long-time friend, Brad Compton, joined after a tour of chemistry experimentation in California that the band was solidifying. Brad's high energy stage performance, and playing and writing style couldn't fit the band more perfectly



The band released "No Regrets" with rock producer Malcolm Springer at the helm in October 2007.



In late 2007 drummer Joe Yabao joined Nova Red to round out the bands lineup. With dedicated musicians working harder than ever the band is now playing all over Louisville. Plans are underway to branch out into nearby cities and set up a tour within the coming months.
