Their début album, Clean (1996), was the very first release of Holland's prestigious Excelsior Recordings label.

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.
Stellar Road
Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deeply infected we are stereo
You never know where the trail goes
I'm up for what comes,
Tomorrow we'll be walking on the moon
Please mister rocketeer, take me out of here
We've got a very special trip in mind
Where it's always safe
Check on my cat for she is all I bring along
Please mister rocketeer, take me out of here
Life is getting messier it's falling apart
I wanna go down the stellar road
Meet with my cat for she is home alone too
In the song "Stellar Road" by Caesar, the lyrics seem to describe a deep longing for adventure and escape, as well as a sense of isolation and loneliness. The song begins with the singer addressing satellites, suggesting a desire to break free from the mundane and reach for the stars. The phrase "deeply infected we are stereo" could be interpreted as a reference to the commonality of human experience, but also suggests a feeling of being trapped or confined.
The next lines, "you never know where the trail goes, I'm up for what comes," suggest an openness to the unknown, an eagerness to explore new frontiers. The chorus, "tomorrow we'll be walking on the moon," reinforces this sense of wonder and excitement.
The second verse continues with a plea to "mister rocketeer" to take the singer away from their current circumstances. The phrase "very special trip in mind" suggests a mission or purpose beyond simple escape. The singer then mentions being on a fire escape, which could represent a sense of danger or precariousness, but also a desire to be closer to the sky.
The final lines, "I wanna go down the stellar road, meet with my cat for she is home alone too," bring the focus back to the singer's isolation and longing for connection, even in the midst of adventure. The "stellar road" could represent a metaphorical journey through life or a literal journey through space, but either way it suggests a quest for meaning and purpose.
