   Area 51 was founded 3 years before the millennium in the summer of 1997. Mid-Southern rockers and local pals Ben Thompson and Tommy Roeck, united to form the ultimate party band. After having played together in several projects , the duo realized their musical directions were one. They found they had the ability to read each other's minds both live and in the studio. Tommy invited Scott Bowes to play bass and Jerry Beasley to play drums.
        After only a few nights of rehearsal, they discovered their natural talents and teamwork, were making their own energy and magic. Area 51 now had lift-off. They attacked the local club scene and toured all around the state of Arkansas, leaving musical devastation in every venue they performed. Their presence, charisma and sound landed them return engagements everywhere and more. Locally they were the band to beat in attendance, sound and show.
