Minneapolis born and bred, Steve Almaas began his musical career as one-third of the seminal punk rock band, The Suicide Commandos. Upon arriving in New York City, he became part of the thriving post-punk scene that included The dB's, The Bush Tetras, Mitch Easter, The Bongos and The New York Rocker. His next musical venture was an exploration of the sources of the music he loved: Beat Rodeo was an acclaimed amalgam of country, folk, punk, soul and rock and roll. These elements continue to fuel the music he makes today.
