Treadmill Trackstar, formed in 1994, consists of Angelo Gianni on guitar and vocals, Katie Hamiliton on cello, Chris Grigg on bass, and Tony Lee on Drums. The band loves the road. Since it's conception, they have played over 350 gigs covering more than 85,000 miles.
The band has played in support of such bands as Edwin McCain, Dillon Fence, Matthew Sweet and Hootie & The Blowfish. Hootie & The Blowfish shook so much rump to Treadmill's music that they received the honor of being the first band to be signed onto the Blows own label, Breaking Records.
The guitars on the album are pretty straightforward rock, but the addition of the cello sets this band apart. The cello is where it's at. The melodies and harmonies that the cello makes are awesome.
With the melodies beating in my ear, I can easily get my groove thang on, which frightens some people, but they just don't understand the groove thang. So go check them out and be amused, or not. Maybe your groove thang will show itself in all of its glory.
The band also has a web site. It's URL is http://www. treadmilltrackstar.com. There, you can find out all sorts of neato stuff about the band and even hear some real audio samples of their music.
