Bio: Banastre Tarleton is the second son of a US Navy Petty Officer and World War II Australian war bride. Growing up on the East Coast, he lived there until he was 10, when the family moved to Mexico, Missouri to be near his father's parents who helped raise Banastre and his brother.
Banastre planned on having a career in the military but a motorcycle accident during his high-school senior year landed him in the hospital with a serious knee injury. While recovering he watched The Kinks and The Dave Clark 5 perform on television and, as they say, the rest is history.

Banastre cut his rock n' roll teeth with Missouri favorites The Norsemen and Pandora's Box, and then went on to form Triphammer, a hard-rock powerhouse complete with make up, platform boots, and a stage show a la Alice Cooper. Triphammer won critical acclaim with "Panzer President," a single about Nixon and the Watergate Scandal, but disbanded after six years of extreme decibel levels and drug use. Taking the advice of a friend in the business, Banastre started Banastre Tarleton Band as a vehicle for his song writing. He now has 20 self-produced releases on his own label, Green Horse, and four more on Caprice International, a label founded by former Bill Haley & The Comets keyboardist Joey Welz. BTB's music has been included on several compilation projects like KSHE's Seeds and KFMZ's Missouri's Best. His loyal and ever-growing fan base has been established from years of touring throughout the United States and Canada.
