The rock band, The Rebel Set, was formed in early 2006 by Tom Gilliam (vocals/lead guitar), Gavin Spencer (vocals/bass/harmonica/accordion) and Jason Johantges (rhythm guitar). Feeling they needed to expand the band’s musical diversity to capture the sound they were seeking, they soon added friends of the band Adam Kempf (drums/trumpet) and Ken Hall (keyboards/trombone), rounding out the final band lineup. By November, the band had completed their first two demo tracks for the songs “#130” and “Radio” and had played their debut live show to a sold out crowd at The Nite Owl in Dayton’s Historic Oregon District. Through the rest of 2006 and much of 2007, The Rebel Set tightened their sound and added many fans as they continued to play live shows around the state of Ohio. In August of 2007, The Rebel Set headlined the Official After Party for the National Rollergirls tournament taking place in Columbus, Ohio. The time the band spent together practicing and playing shows allowed them to create a wealth of original music. This led them to the recording studio in August to record their full length debut album. Working with engineer/producer Patrick Himes (who engineered the Ryan Adams debut solo album “Heartbreaker” plus albums by fellow Dayton bands Shrug & Flyaway Minion) in August and September of 2007, the band was able to record 11 original songs to complete their album debut, Ghost Town Silence. The Rebel Set will be playing all the tracks from Ghost Town Silence live at their CD Release Party on March 29, 2008 at The Oregon Express, located in their hometown of Dayton, Ohio. The CD will also become available for purchase on that date via the band’s myspace site through PayPal and digitally through iTunes, Amazon MP3, Rhapsody, Napster, eMusic & GroupieTunes. Locally, the CD will be available for purchase at Dayton’s own Gem City Records and at live shows. Following their CD release party, the band will be playing live shows in Ohio and beyond for the rest of 2008.
