Audioponic: Home Grown Music
Audioponic is the final project of experienced musicians looking to write some devil music. It started out as a 3-piece band named Superfreak in 1997. They played the north Texas circuit at venues like Trees, Curtain Club, Ridglea Theater, Aardvark and were featured on a music television program. Superfreak then branched out into the cover tune scene and played many clubs, events and festivals of that nature. Superfreak regrouped in 2005, kick the crappy cover songs to the curb, soul their souls to Satan, and changed the band name to Audioponic. |

Name:Romer
Hometown: Funkytown
DOB:
Instrument: Bass / Vox
Brad Lewis is basically retarded. Hence his love for bands like Retarded Elf. A song putter togetherer and simple single note instrument player influenced by Derek Smalls, Floyd Pepper and Beefcake The Mighty, he has done nothing but waste time and his life playing root notes.
Past endeavors with David Wayne, Triggerfish, WCLF, and Superfreak lead to ( begin name dropping ) playing Fry Street Fair, New York’s New Music Seminar (now called NXNW) where a Warner Brothers A&R representative examined him, featured on Tales from the Edge, and on countless Internet radios and websites. He has rubbed elbows with many cool locals like: The Toadies, Deep Blue Something, Nixions, Tablet, Tripping Daisy, Drowning Pool, Lifesize and Solinger.
Even with all that name dropping, he is still a looser.
