ROCKMASTER GENERAL is a leading rock and roll band from Washington DC. Groups of people travel to see Rockmaster General perform original music, and then return for the next time the band plays in their area, because, as those spectators say, RMG “rocks.” Others return because RMG is “awesome.” Still others return because RMG offers them something more significant, more real, more fun, and more satisfying than the today's standard pabulum of broadcast entertainment. What they find on their television boxes and automobile radio sets cannot compare to watching a live performance of these five men breaking a new blockbuster sound. This world demands space for RMG to perform their music.

Within Rockmaster General’s original material, one hears subject matter ranging from the paranoid musings of a traitor spy to romantic high school dances with the apples of our eyes. People often relate to both. Rockmaster plays to the emotions of people. Smart people. Everyday people. Good people.

Rockmaster General is not here to preach. Rockmaster General is here to play their brand of rock and roll music. Native urban American music that moves people to scream, to smile at one another, to move their bodies in time to the angel and devil rhythms. RMG urges you to enlist.

J. Adam Fenster, or Atom, is tall like Abraham Lincoln. Also a fine photographer, Atom currently has his authentic rock and roll pictures on display in the Velvet Lounge. Apparently, Atom doesn't like it when you touch him down there. Oh yeah? Take THIS.

The spirited drummer Matt Rehfuss enjoys scrapbooking, getting pedicures, shopping at the mall, working out, and gossiping on the phone when not caressing his Ludwigs. Matt founded the band in 2001 with Barclay. The band was originally called the Dopes. Luckily, both the name and the group has improved dramatically.

Rockmaster's newest member, Kush el-Amin, bass, does not fuck around. With ears of the elephant and eyes of the hawk, Kush looks really weird. You may be interested to know that Kush has an educated opinion on pretty much everything. Kush, also, is arguably the finest basketball player who plays in any band.

Barclay Saul, growing an afro, is whom you might consider to be the band's leader. Formerly of the bands Swollen Colon, Swerve-On, Variety City, and Daddy, he will talk your goddamned head off, and you will absolutely love that about him. A word to the wise, don't sleep in the same bed with him. And never, ever, ask him about baseball.

Singer Tom Espondro, on activities: "I am not going to do anything but drink beer, smoke, and maybe read and sleep while others are outdoors jogging, hiking, rock climbing, and skydiving. I am dead serious. No activities for me. I don't like activities. As active as I get is bocce."
