Two Tons of Steel - Country Punk

Before there was Americana, before there was Texas Country, Two Tons of Steel front man Kevin Geil and his original band, “Dead Crickets”, rocked a sound that blended the best of musical worlds and pushed the envelope of “Texas” sound with a signature brand of country meet punk.

The San Antonio-based group packed the small bars and local hangouts and quickly became the Alamo City’s most-loved band, earning them a spot on the cover of Billboard Magazine.  It was the beginning of a twenty-year journey for Geil and the 4-piece ensemble.

Releasing “Two Tons Of Steel” in 1994 and “Crazy For My Baby” in 1995 on Blue Fire Records, a sponsorship deal with Lone Star Beer quickly followed.  Dead Crickets, renamed Two Tons of Steel in 1996 began traveling outside of Texas, including stops at the Grand Ole’ Opry in Nashville, Tenn., the National Theatre in Havana, Cuba, and European tours, to greet fans who had embraced their Texas-born sound.  In 1996 they released “Oh No!” on their independent label, “Big Bellied Records”. They followed up the passion project with a live recording at the legendary Gruene Hall in Gruene, Texas, taped during a Two Ton Tuesday Show in 1998.

2015, will mark the bands 23rd year of “Two Ton Tuesday Live from Gruene Hall”.  The summer long event has drawn over 230,000 fans since it began its annual run.
