Their début album, Clean (1996), was the very first release of Holland's prestigious Excelsior Recordings label. The band would release three more studio albums: No Rest For The Alonely (1998), Leaving Sparks (2000) and the self-titled Caesar (2003). 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 ↴
Yeah life gets so much easier on your own
It's hard to get down this medicine we call time
There's a lot of it and just me who's on the line
Situations complications
Situations no no no, complications, oh oh
For it's hard to get down my medicine on my own
Situations complications
Situations no no no, complications, oh oh
Life gets so much easier when you're...stoned!
Still it's hard to get down my medicine down my throat
Situations complications
Situations no no no, complications, oh oh
In Caesar's song "Situations/Complications," the artist is reflecting on the challenges of life and the struggles to find a sense of ease and comfort in the world around us. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics by noting the idea that life can become simpler and easier when one is "stoned." However, this is followed by the acknowledgement that it is hard to cope with the difficulties of everyday life and the passing of time. The song touches on the idea that life can be a form of medicine, but getting through it is something we must all do on our own.
Throughout "Situations/Complications," the artist is wrestling with the challenges and complexities of the world and the ways in which people seek to find peace or solace in their lives. The repetitive refrain of "situations complications" suggests that the artist is overwhelmed by the problems and struggles of life, and that there is no easy solution or escape from them. Similarly, the call-and-response structure of the chorus ("situations, no no no / complications, oh oh") highlights the tension between different aspects of life: the problems and the desire for ease, the need for help and the fear of being alone.
As a whole, "Situations/Complications" is a plaintive reflection on the ways in which we try to navigate the difficulties of existence, and the search for meaning or purpose in our lives. The song suggests that life is a kind of medicine that we all have to take, but that the struggle to get through it can be overwhelming at times.
