   About STEAMROLLER
Defunct funk rock band Steamroller earned themselves a large and loyal following by holding long-term residencies at legendary Austin venues such as the Black Cat Lounge, Steamboat and Antone's between 1994 and 2002, while regularly playing classic Texas road joints like the Dixie Theatre in Bryan, Club Dada in Dallas and the Satellite Lounge in Houston.

The band released 4 full-length CDs, mostly through their own label Redwood Records. Steamroller's releases enjoyed modest airplay on their hometown FM rock mainstay KLBJ, numerous other commercial rock stations throughout the US and on college radio nationwide...

Steamroller's tour highlights included gigs in California, Colorado, Oregon, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida as well as sharing the second stage with Gov't Mule for a couple of shows on the 1998 HORDE Festival Tour headlined by Blues Traveler, Ben Harper and Smashing Pumpkins.

Steamroller has remained "semi-retired" since early 2002, playing only one or two shows per year exclusively in Austin. Shortly after calling it quits, the members formed a "pop punk" group called the Quitters and quickly wrote and recorded 18 songs. The Quitters played a few shows at respected punk rock dives like Beerland and the Hole In The Wall before quitting completely.

On June 17, 2009 Steamroller played a one-off acoustic show to an enthusiastic crowd at the super hip honky-tonk the Mean Eyed Cat, but there are no plans to do any more acoustic shows anytime soon.

Guitarist and singer Kevin Dodds formed a rock trio called Red Line Riot in 2006 with Steamroller drummer Brandon Elizondo. Red Line Riot continues to play regularly in Austin. In 2007, singer and guitarist Mike McLellan formed his own boogie blues trio called Spoiled Royals, which also features Brandon on the drum kit. Spoiled Royals are currently playing shows throughout Texas.

Hey kids! The weather calls for sunny and 70 on saturday 12/27/08. Grab your family, some dogs and burgers and come out to our house to celebrate Dave's 41st birthday. I will provide potato salad, baked beans, chips, iced tea and coals for the pit. Bring anything you want to burn on the grill or any alcoholic beverages you might want to drink. Childen are welcome as mine will be there too. Please let us know if you plan to attend so I'm sure to have enough food for everyone. If you're a music friend and want to bring your geetar (guitar) and strum a chord or 2, feel free. Otherwise, we might hook up the karaoke machine. Just an informal Saturday celebration. Hope to see you there. Peace and love!
