Steadman are 5 British lads called Simon, Russel, Dave, James and Chris.
We have toured nearly every inch of the UK and the USA.
Sir Paul McCartney likes our album and came to a show. I can't tell that story again though so I'll let the man speak for himself:
"The band Steadman have the songs, the musicianship,
the energy and the enthusiasm to blow the top off any
club, or arena, and, if given a listen, have that rare
quality -- the ability to deliver! I like this band!!"
We were signed to Elektra Records which unfortunately exploded in a bizarre Pop Rocks and soda incident. We managed to steal CD's and a flat screen monitor before the disaster though.
We have appeared on these TV shows:
Smallville,
Charmed,
The Sharon Osborne Show,
Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn,
American Dreams (as The Dave Clark Five)
We have played shows with:
Jason Mraz,
Jet,
Ash,
Ian McCulloch (Echo and the Bunnymen),
Feeder,
Michelle Branch,
Stereolab,
Junior Senior,
Year of The Rabbit,
Josh Kelley,
Michael Tolcher
