Final Frontier. Bradenton, Florida.(1988) Reed Billings, Rick Borus, Greg Shaw, John DiCrosta, Barry Waddell(later founded "Seasons of the Wolf.") Several personnel changes occurred before a initial lineup (consisting of) Reed Billings, Rick Borus, Dan Maxwell, Al Mathieson, Pete Theriault, entered Tric Tracs Studio (Bradenton Fl) in 1989 to begin recording "Exploration 89," which was a revamping of Reed Billing's earlier Louisville, Kentucky band Aslan.

Alter Ego.

Alter Ego was probably the first band to use this name, and originated in Louisville, Kentucky in 198?.

Band Members consisted of:               .Physical Education teacher Les (Selnow), who had never used his voice publicly before, was recruited as the band's vocalist and became a sensation with his original "front man" antics.

Writing duties were handled by Reed Billings.

Alter Ego soon found a large following in the Louisville area, playing at local bars, and playing in vacant fields on the back of a flatbed trailer, drawing large crowds who liked to party. Later day popular musician John Cougar)Mellencamp sometimes opened shows for them.

Scouted by Warner Brothers Records at a Louisville venue, signed to a contract, and recorded a first album at studios in 198?

But before the first album was committed to vinyl and put up for sale, the band imploded due to the creative differences of young men suddenly thrown into the trajectory of "rock stars," and it disbanded virtually overnight, ending badly with a suicide by one band associate.

Warners dropped the project, a lawsuit was filed by Reed Billings in order to assert his rights to the material he had written, and without his input, the band descended into obscurity.

Reed Billings went on to found Final Frontier in the 1990's, consisting of Rick Borus,. and former Smashing Pumpkins drummer Ron Roesing collaborated on several projects:and currently heads a newer band called "Penchant," with rhythm guitarist Neil Stewart and bassist Helaine Burch.
