Roustabouts

*UPDATE! - We're back!!! Come see us at The Conservatory on May 20th with Red City Radio and They Stay Dead, also at The Conservatory on May 31st with The Arrivals, Toys That Kill and The Needlepoints! Watch for future show announcements! The Roustabouts were a punk rock band from Oklahoma City, OK. They were founded by singer/guitarist Nick Waggoner, drummer Jesse Smith and original bassist Chris Herron. Daniel Felton was added in 1998 as lead guitarist and Nic Massey was added on bass in 2002 replacing Chris. Most known for their relentless touring and explosive live shows, the Roustabouts played hundreds of shows all across the U.S. from 1997-2005. In 2005 they decided to call it quits with one final amazing show at the Green Door in Oklahoma City. It was also the last show ever at the Green Door. It was a sad day for music in OKC and will be remembered by the ones who attended forever. Although the Roustabouts were a band for over 8 years, they only released one full-length album. On June 5th, 2002 "The Only One" was released on Haunted Town Records out of Chicago, IL. They did 2 nation wide tours to promote the album and several mid-west tours. On June, 2008 the Roustabouts reunited for one show in Oklahoma City at the legendary club VZDs. They were also joined by long time friends and tour mates Tanka Ray from Kansas City, MO. They performed an amazing show full of songs from "The Only One" as well as songs that were written before the bands demise in 2005 to a capacity crowd.
