SUPERTRAMP

About me:

A Fan Site created by David Mendenhall who grew up in a isolated little valley near Tollhouse, California. As a child in his teen's, David was fascinated by the ying and the yang of the group's two different vocal styles of Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies. At the elementary school where he attended, he was able to talk the administration in 1977 into actually buying a jukebox, and was trusted to make the list of what songs were to be actually stocked into it. "Dreamer" with the flip of "Bloody Well Right" were obvious choices, as the song "Dreamer" enjoyed a brief but enjoyable run on the radio buoyed by the success of the song "Give A Little Bit." The band subsequently became huge in 1979 by the runaway success of the number 1 album "Breakfast In America," and it's tour that utilized tasteful lighting and filmed backdrops. Supertramp, a group that had more hooks than a box full of fishing tackle always kept a low profile, and as such, kept themselves off of the front of record covers, later they became more of a closed circle that could actually be able to play a game of soccer right outside the concert venue. The last album with Roger Hodgson, 1982's "Famous Last Words" was the fracturing point, and the group would never be the same again. Of course there is no official MySpace Site for Supertramp, however David does keep in contact with most of it's member's and not only runs RogerHodgsonFan on MySpace, but runs Supertramp Drummer Bob Siebenberg's Official MySpace Site as well. His latest passion is to convince Roger Hodgson to record a CD of new tunes. Jesse Siebenberg's New Solo CD.
