STEAMROLLER
Gather Round for the Stereo Sound
Steamroller is a long-standing Austin-based rock band known for its high-energy sound that blends hard rock, southern rock, and funk.
Many of Steamroller’s original songs are musically rowdy, but the band mixes in a few songs that are mellow or moody.
Steamroller has been known to tip the hat to classic rock, reggae, hip-hop, and TV show themes during live shows (usually through abbreviated versions or medleys incorporated into their own songs rather than actually covering songs outright).

Who IS STEAMROLLER?
Steamroller formed in 1994 and the band’s lineup of Kevin Dodds (guitar/vocals), Mike McLellan (guitar/vocals), Nate Hickman (bass/vocals), and Brandon Elizondo (drums) has remained the same since 1996.
Steamroller earned a following by holding long-term residencies at legendary Austin venues such as the Black Cat Lounge, Steamboat, and Antone's 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 has released 4 full-length CDs (Steamroller – 1995, Cabin Fever – 1997, Razzle Dazzle – 1998, Full Throttle – 2000) and an EP (Smoke Damaged – 2001). 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 have 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.
