Benberg, is a member of British progressive rock band Supertramp, playing drums and percussion, and was the lone American in the Supertramp classic lineup.
In 1989, Siebenberg became the first major artist to compose original music for a video game in Sierra On-line's Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon.
Siebenberg released a solo album in 1984 called Giants in Our Own Room (and credited to "Siebenberg"), where he sings lead on half of the songs and also plays keyboards and drums. Joining Bob on this record were Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy (who is also Siebenberg's brother in law), Steve Ferris of Mister Mister, Procol Harum drummer B. J. Wilson, Kerry Hatch of Oingo Boingo, and Supertramp bandmate John Helliwell. An old friend, Derek Beauchemin, joined in to co-write and play keyboards.
Prior to joining Supertramp, Siebenberg was a member of pub rock band Bees Make Honey as well as a member of RHS, an improvisational American band featuring Patrick Landreville and Scott Gorham.
Siebenberg was also in a band called "Heads Up" who released the 1989 album The Long Shot. Joining Bob and his writing partner Dennis O'Donnell on this project were Mark Hart, Brad Cole, John Helliwell, Marty Walsh and again, Scott Gorham on guitar.

This is going to be awesome! I hardly found any archival material of the group in action, nor have I found any interviews with the classic lineup sans Hodgson. Such a phenomenal group.

I've seen like one interview of John and Rick on youtube but they're old farts by that point, old archival footage is hard as balls to find. My guess is that the ownership rights is in the shitter, and Roger probably publishes his own stuff but IDK what's going on with Rick's side. Outside of some old performances, I haven't seen any roger interviews. I think I saw one really old documentary on Supertramp but it seemed of seriously dubious quality. And yes, they are totally underrated. makes me sad that so few fellow millenials know their name cries
Someone seriously needs to tell roger's management to put better descriptions on his old archival videos because I have to take a wild guess what the dates are on them based on his clothes and hair which is mildly infuriating >o_o< seriously wtf is up with those infodump descriptions. when you're trying to research/archive this shit it's like WTF DUDE

Bob Siebenderg, Dougie Thompson, John Helliwell, along with Roger and Rick all made Supertramp the band we know and love!!! Take any one of them away and you lose something that cannot be duplicated, anymore than one can replace people in any of the "Magic" groups we all know and love. There is a chemistry that cannot be manufactured or replaced with an all star lineup of someones making.

You nailed it!! Thank god someone has actually listened and paid attention to their music. Without that collaboration, even "darling" Roger would be a nobody in the world of music. I admire his work with them enormously, but once you've read & heard enough interviews with him, he really does seem to believe that it was all about him. But if you've really watched them all live on stage (Paris '79, etc.), and taken in everyone's input on the albums on which they were all together, then you realize what a fantastic unit they were. Hodgson's solo career was a flop and he still depends heavily on his Supertramp repertoire. Supertramp with Davies just fizzled out. Your comment is perfect. It's a shame more fans can't seem to grasp that. It's always Hodgson versus Davies, etc. Absolutely pointless & useless chatter. Take care!

Always a great job, John.

More great stuff. Thanks for sharing this. We can still mix up the members of many bands, I'm sure.

John can you do a episode for DAVE HLUBEK original guitarist died earlier in September of 17 and original bassist BANNER THOMAS died April of 17!!!!!!!!!!!! They deserve a episode for acknowledgement!!!!!!!!!! MOLLY HATCHET

Rick Davies is great!

The problem with Supertramp was that Roger and Rick never liked eachother.

Not faceless, if you follow the band, if you don't then of course you are not going to recognise them. Pink Floyd were faceless for some time. Many prog rock bands were faceless initially - its more about the music not the personalities that made the music, ironically today it is more about the personalities rather than the music imo.!!
