| Band Bio: |
Brent Kirkpatrick first sat behind a drum set at the age of seven while at a summer camp in Louisiana called "Singing Water". He has hated summer camp ever since.
He began playing the trumpet at age 10 for the prestigious Twin Oaks Elementary School Band. In the sixth grade his instructor saw such promise in Brent that she advanced him to the seventh grade band. This has remained the crowning jewel of Brent's accomplishments.
At age 15, after years of struggling to learn how to play guitar on his own, attempting to play "Barracuda" by pathetically plucking at six open strings, Brent broke down and asked for some help. With a little guidance he quickly learned "Smoke On The Water" and eventually impressed his friends with a wicked rendition of Ozzy's "Crazy Train". "Barracuda" still eludes him.
By 17 Brent was in his first band Lost Grey Cat. Though the band never actually played or wrote any songs they had a cool little logo with a cat playing the drums wearing fingerless leather gloves. His next band Eleventh Hour, in which Brent was the drummer and vocalist, did play and write songs but they sucked.
In spring of 1991 Brent moved to Austin, TX to become the drummer for the band Nogood Boyo. They released their record "Anywhere The Cat Can Go" in 1992 and toured the states for about two years. The highlights of those years were meeting Les Paul and playing with bands like No Means No, Girls Against Boys, White Zombie, Reverend Horton Heat and others. The Band split in 1995 after numerous disappointments from the likes of Lawyers, Managers and Record labels.
Brent moved to New York in October of 1997 and began writing and performing his own songs. RevOloCien released his first solo record "O" in 2000 on which he played and sang everything. The material was recorded at multiple home studios with the help of engineer Herb Dishman who would go on to work on Brent's next RevOloCien release "Never The Water" which took two years to complete and was released in 2004. Brent played nearly everything with former band mate Andrew Solin adding some electric guitar and Austin friends Wade Morrison and Rebekah Whitehurst playing bass. After the record was completed live shows followed with Herb Dishman on Drums, Dan Valedez on Bass, Jay Beta on guitar and Brent up front on Guitar and vocals. After one year together the band was in an Indie film called "Flakes" produced by InDigEnt which was filmed in Pre Katrina New Orleans and features the songs "Wanna Be" and "UR1" and Brent himself in a short bar scene. The film, Starring Zoey Deschanel, Aaron Stanford and Christopher Lloyd was released in December 2007.
In late January of 2008 Brent got wind of the RPM Challenge. Thrilled by the idea Brent spent a couple of days straightening out his studio and making a rough plan for what he would call “Project 222” and at midnight on February 1 he pressed record and was off. 29 days later Brent shares this document of a months work with the world.
Brent is currently sleeping, a lot.
