With an unusual blend of rock, punk, and dance music, The Businessmen are difficult to categorize.”
Karen Waserman, Houston Public News Magazine
“These are really great guys to work with! Even though their style is hard-core rock, they are fun & danceable. You just gotta’ see this show!”
Promoter Steve Gladsen, Bread & Butter Productions
“I’d rather play Led Zeppelin at 4,000 decibels… Many people in the audience liked the band!”
Phil Pain, Houston’s Wild Dog Magazine
“I love booking these guys! All I have to do is tell the client that each guy dresses up as a doctor, lawyer, or professor; then they step on stage in their business suits and patent-leather shoes and rock their brains out!”
Promoter - Don Gomez, Paramount Talent
“Many thanks to The Businessmen for performing the Atlanta Talent Expo at Fox Theatre. These guys did a great job! I got my very first shout out, and the roses were a very nice touch!”

The Inanimate Objects are a Houston, Texas based three-piece alternative music band, which has been cranking-out original compositions since the late 1970s, when the punk rock era was just beginning to surface. The band’s roots go back to 1978 in the Park Place region of southeast Houston, Texas, when original works were performed at parties with friends, using instruments such as a toy drum kit and a Silvertone guitar.
The band currently consists of the following, all of whom have been members since the band’s first public gig in 1980:
Ted Bare – lead guitar, rhythm guitar & vocals
Ron Obvious – drums
Ollie Stevans – bass guitar and vocals
During the early years, the band also included lead vocalist, Id Pleasure, who later resigned in 1987. Subsequently, Ollie and Ted have shared lead vocals about 50/50.
