They were one of the most popular indie rock bands in The Netherlands around the year 2000, played almost every major Dutch festival, won a 'Silver Harp' and toured internationally.
Following a sabbatical year (2005), the group released Before My band Explodes (2006), a compilation of outtakes and rarities. The band arranged a 'farewell gig' in the Melkweg in Amsterdam in April 2008 - and called it a day.

3) The American Caesar formed in December 2010, and while none of the members can call the same town home, they have all found a home within Caesar. Caesar hits the pavement as much as possible and having members from Michigan and Indiana, they make sure that whenever they are given a stage to play on they make sure to leave their mark. The live performance of this group is what they pride themselves on, and they entertain in a manner that fans won't soon forget. As for the music, it can stand on its own. The way in which the music of Caesar is delivered through speakers is for lack of a better word: aggressive.It can be found in the rhythmic attack from the instruments and the chilling delivery of the vocals. The music is high energy and unceasing. Caesar has hopes to find a home in an industry that is constantly changing. With the groups first full length expected in the early summer 2012, Caesar is putting all they have into creating a unique music experience that they are going to give back to every single person that has supported them.

Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you read my mind
I just feel defenseless
Tied up and blind
Never really had this tension.
Trying to restrain myself
Never payed attention
Oh but it can never be the same
You should know better now
We've been going over this again just like before
I'll be leaving all the things behind, should have been ready now
Hey I will never stop, I will decide for myself if I was wrong
I believe I lost my senses
Thought that you could read my mind
Never payed attention
So fuckin blind
I have enough of this tension
Trying to behave myself
I feel defenseless
Tied up like hell
Oh that it can never be the same
You should know better now
We've been going over this again just like before
I believe it gonna hurt this time, should have been ready now
Hey I will never stop, I will decide for myself if I was wrong
The lyrics to Caesar's song Sad Boy Sam reflect the struggles of feeling vulnerable and exposed in a relationship. The opening line suggests that the singer has a temper, and every time their partner "reads their mind," they feel defensive and helpless. The tension in the relationship is palpable, and the singer tries their best to keep their emotions in check. However, they admit that they have never paid much attention to their own behavior, which has led them to feel trapped and unhappy.
As the song progresses, the singer grows increasingly frustrated and disillusioned. They feel as though their partner should understand their needs better but has failed to do so. They express their desire to leave everything behind and start anew, but also acknowledge that it won't be easy. Finally, the singer asserts their independence and vows to do what is best for them, no matter what mistakes they may have made in the past.
Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of vulnerability and the challenges of maintaining a healthy relationship. It highlights the importance of communication, understanding, and personal growth in building a successful partnership.
