Red Square Black was a band formed by Mark Binder of Los Angeles. The band was an innovative force in the early 1990s playing the LA club scene. They melded metal, industrial sequencing and pop sensibilities. Unlike other bands who have followed this blueprint using a DAT w/ a click track, RSB employed a Macintosh cpu onstage, controlled by the drummer with a KAT pad, the Mac handled all sequencing, including a custom light show!
