STEAMBOAT SWITZERLAND got started as a Swiss power rock trio founded by Dominik BLUM (keyboard). For tying the project up tightly, Dominik invited Marino PIAKAS (bass) and Lucas NIGGLI (drums). Their debut album was recorded improvisationally on stage and released by the name of "Live" in 1998, that has led to plenty of their gigs around Europe.
With featuring Dominik's hardcore Hammond and flexible improvisation blended with jazz, metal, punk, contemporary music, new age, and rock itself, STEAMBOAT SWITZERLAND have carried out their original "rock eclectique" intention so far.
