Speedealer was formed in 1992 in Lubbock, TX. The original line-up consisted of Jeff
Hirshberg on vocals, Chris Brown on drums, Rodney Skelton on bass, and James Follis
on guitar. After a brief hiatus, the band re-formed in Dallas, TX. Since that time there
have been many incarnations of the band. The ex-members are numerous and to
explain each departure would take entirely too long, (though many are interesting
stories, indeed), but here is the slate: Rodney Skelton, Mike Noyes, Toby Sheets, Todd
Mcglaughlin, Mark Baker, Dave Woodard, James Follis, and Chris Brown. In addition,
Clint Phillips and Casey Orr have filled in for different tours. Since October of
'97 Speedealer's line-up consists of Harden Harrison - drums, Eric Schmidt - guitar, and
Jeff Hirshberg - vocals/guitar... and a bassist. The band has consistently toured for 275
- 300 shows per year since '96, playing all lower 48 states, Canada, Europe, Russia, and
Japan. The list of groups played/toured with is long, including the likes of Motorhead,
Pantera, Reverend Horton Heat, C.O.C., Fu Manchu, The Misfits, Joey Ramone,
Neurosis, Voivod, Zeke, Morbid Angel, The Supersuckers, Today's the Day, and
Nashville Pussy. The best description of Speedealer's music is that of a blender filled
with blood and steel, and set on puree. They are available for dinner parties and
funerals.
