Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Members:
Steve-Vocals, Guitars, Keys
Strotfold, England
RIVETHEAD's angst and guitar-driven songs are given their edge from vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, Steve. Steve has been a part of the Dallas scene for over 10 years, having played the stages of clubs such as Trees, The Curtain Club, The Galaxy Club, The Basement, Dallas City Limits, and The Rock. Steve has written music for the Dallas Burn Soccer Team for over 4 years as well as several local radio shows. Steve picked up an endorsement from BC Rick Guitars in his and Mikkee's former band together, SKWEEG.
Lodi-Bass
Amarillio, Texas
Lodi throws together thick textured bass grooves that are the bottom end of RIVETHEAD. Lodi moved to Dallas after getting picked by the band as their newest member in early 2002. Lodi has played in several bands in the Texas panhandle.
Mikkee-Drums
Douglas, Arizona
Mikkee lays down the beats and grooves that are the super-glue to RIVETHEAD's complex blend of industry groove rock. Mikkee, along with Steve, has played many Dallas stages and has been heralded by many as one of Dallas's best drummers.

"Grinding rock with some electronic elements tossed in for good measure, this trio gets straight to the point with their "no applogies approach. Based on this submission, if these guys can pull off this aggrassive onslaught with electronic textures onstge, they are definitely ripe for industry plucking."-Tonos.com
