Saxophonist Eric Moen, bass guitarist Al Wolovitch, and drummer Andrew Kamman rounded out the group, which formed in the late ‘70s and took its name from a character on Steamroller, a local public-access television comedy show that Himmelman hosted.
Himmelman's writing, however, was beginning to take a turn inward, as evidenced on his first solo album This Father's Day, which was independently released in 1985 and then re-released by Island Records the following year.
Now based in Los Angeles, he has branched out, composing popular children's records and award-winning music for film and television—most notably the hit CBS drama Judging Amy.
Also in L.A. are Andy Kamman, who moved on to play drums for Vonda Shepard and the recording group Uma, and Al Wolovitch, who is a scorer of TV shows and commercials in his own right.
Eric Moen is back in Minneapolis, as is Jeff Victor, who has been performing live at Timberwolves home games and touring with The Honeydogs, in addition to winning Emmy and Cleo awards while producing CDs for Target Corp's Lifescape label.
