Established in 1994 by Peter Beck, a Canadian lyricist, and Ondrej Rudolf, a local songwriter, Roadhouse's main role was to create a set of soft-rock songs for a special theatre play, a musical, called Roadhouse Blues. As such, the musical was played several times in the Chamber Theatre in Pilsen, Czech Republic. But as a consequence, the band got a brilliant opportunity to record thier first album (Storm Warning, 1994).
Roadhouse became locally famous and since their music was well composed and arranged (most of the times also played) and their lyrics were of much higher quality compared to their rivals in those times, they gained a decent audience in Prague, where newly open rock clubs offered boiling rocking atmosphere.
In 1995, Roadhouse appeared in the final rounds of both the New Rock Generation and Marlboro Rock-In nationwide talent contests. This brought attention of major music media and also the chance to get financing for a proper recording. Although none of the major labels wanted to sign an English-singing act, the group recorded and released their second album themselves. Recorded in the best Czech studios of that time, all the hopes remained with the work This Is What We Do (1995).
Unfortunately, the situation of emerging dance scene occupying rock clubs one after another and raise of commercial radio stations caused fall of interest in the band at the important places. Roadhouse remained a club band.
In 1996 Roadhouse toured the Czech Republic together with a London based band The Chaser. Shortly after that they recorded their last collection of songs (The Last Of Roadhouse, 1996) but it was "too late to try" as Ondrej sings in his heart-touching Once In A While. once in a while
The core lineup was: Tony Zimmel - drums, Mila Slesinger - bass, Mira Stary - guitar, Stepan Elias - keyboards and arrangements, Ondrej Rudolf - vocals, some acoustic guitars. All songs were written by Ondrej Rudolf, all lyrics by Peter Beck - and so is also the copyright to their recordings.
After the band split in 1997, Peter Beck left to London, Ondrej Rudolf to PolyGram becoming a product manager, Stepan Elias and Tony Zimmel were signed for the successful Jesus Christ Superstar company (keyboards, drums), Mila Slesinger returned back to his marionett workshop and Mira Stary ultimately got the chance to sign a contract with a major label - Universal Music - on behalf of his 16 year old son...
