'''Steel Mill''' was one of [[Bruce Springsteen]]'s early bands and performed regularly on the [[Jersey Shore]], in [[Virginia]], and also in [[California]] from 1969 till January 1971.

==History==
===Early bands===
Three of the bands founding members, [[Bruce Springsteen]], [[Vini Lopez]] and [[Vinnie Roslin]] met for the first time on April 22 1966 at a [[battle of the bands]] competition at the Matawan-Keyport Roller Drome in [[Matawan, New Jersey]]. Roslin was one of the judges while Springsteen and Lopez competed in the competition with their respective bands, The Castiles and Sonny & The Starfires. <ref>[http://www.soundsofasburypark.com/soap_pages/battle.html www.soundsofasburypark.com]</ref><ref>''Backstreets'' #30 Fall 1989</ref> However before coming together to form Steel Mill, both Springsteen and Lopez went on to play in other bands. Springsteen formed Earth with fellow [[Ocean County College]] students, John Graham (bass) and Michael Burke (drums). They would later be joined by another former Castile, Bob Alfano (organ). <ref>[http://brucebase.org.uk/gig1960.htm Brucebase 1960s]</ref> Lopez, meanwhile, played with the Downtown Tangiers Band, with also included [[Bill Chinnock]], [[Danny Federici]] and [[Garry Tallent]], and then in Moment of Truth with Tallent, Federici and Ricky DeSarno (guitars) <ref>[http://perso.wanadoo.es/tallent/familytree/tree.htm Garry’s Corner]</ref><ref>[http://newstranscript.gmnews.com/news/2008/0827/front_page/030.html ''Steel Mill keeps Asbury sounds of the past alive'']</ref>.

===Child===
In 1968 the Upstage Club was opened at 702 Cookman Avenue in [[Asbury Park, New Jersey]]. The club would subsequently play a central role in the history of both [[Bruce Springsteen]] and the [[E Street Band]] and [[Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes]]. On February 14 1969, Lopez, looking to recruit a guitarist for a new band, attended an Earth show at the Italian American Mens Association Clubhouse in [[Long Branch, New Jersey]]. Then on February 21, Lopez, Springsteen, Federici and Roslin got together at the Upstage and formed a new band called Child. Shortly afterwards Carl "Tinker" West, a surfboard designer and concert promoter who originally came from [[California]], becomes the bands manager. From March 1969 onwards Child played regularly at the Pandemonium in [[Wanamassa, New Jersey]] and on May 28 they opened for [[James Cotton]] when he played at this venue. Child also played there on July 20 1969, the night of the [[first moon landing]]. The club installed several TV monitors especially for the occasion and during the show the audience stopped watching the band in favour of [[Neil Armstrong]]. As a result the band fell out with the club management and never played at the their again. On November 1 1969 the band played their last show using the name Child at the [[Virginia Commonwealth University]]. Shortly afterwards they discovered that another band from [[Long Island, New York]] was also using the name and had just released an album under that name on [[Roulette Records]]. Roslin has stated that they were actually mistaken for the other Child during shows in [[Richmond, Virginia]]. <ref>Charles R. Cross: ''Backstreets - Springsteen: The Man And His Music'' (1989)</ref><ref>[http://brucebase.org.uk/gig1960.htm Brucebase 1960s]</ref><ref>[http://njmonthly.com/articles/lifestyle/people/far-from-e-street-still-a-spirit-in-the-night.html ''Far From E Street, Still a Spirit in the Night'']</ref><ref>''Backstreets'' #19 Winter 1987</ref><ref>''Backstreets'' #30 Fall 1989</ref>

===Steel Mill===
To avoid confusion with the other Child, the band changed their name to Steel Mill, a name suggested by Chuck Dillon, a friend of Lopez <ref>''Backstreets'' #30 Fall 1989</ref>. On November 21 1969 at [[Randolph-Macon College]] the band opened for [[Chicago (band)|Chicago]] and the following night they opened for [[Iron Butterfly]] at same venue <ref>[http://brucebase.org.uk/gig1960.htm Brucebase 1960s]</ref>. In early 1970 Steel Mill visited [[San Francisco]] and performed at [[The Matrix (club)|The Matrix]] and [[Fillmore West]], and played on the same bill as [[Elvin Bishop]], [[Boz Scaggs]] and [[Nils Lofgren#Grin|Grin]]. On February 22, they also recorded three songs - "Goin’ Back To Georgia", "The Train Song" and "He’s Guilty (Send That Boy To Jail)" - at the Pacific Recording Studio in [[San Mateo, California]] for [[Bill Graham (promoter)|Bill Graham]]. Graham had just formed Fillmore Records and actually offered Steel Mill a contract. However the band rejected it. Shortly after returning from San Francisco, Roslin left Steel Mill. He played his last gig with the band at the [[Virginia Commonwealth University]] on February 28 1970 and he was subsequently replaced by [[Steve Van Zandt]]. Exactly why Roslin left the band remains unclear, but it has been speculated that it was because he was in favour of accepting Graham’s offer of a contract. <ref>''Backstreets'' #30 Fall 1989</ref><ref>[http://brucebase.org.uk/gig1970.htm Brucebase 1970-71]</ref><ref>[http://www.brucebase.org.uk/1.htm List of Steel Mill songs]</ref>

On their return from California, Steel Mill continued to play regularly on the [[Jersey Shore]] and in [[Richmond, Virginia]]. On June 13 1970 they opened for [[Grand Funk Railroad]] at the Ocean Ice Palace in [[Bricktown, New Jersey]]. On June 21 they played at the Clearwater Swim Club in [[Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey]] when their opening act was Glory Road, a band whose line up included [[Garry Tallent]] and [[Bill Chinook]]. In August the band added Robbin Thompson as lead vocalist. Thompson had been the lead singer with Mercy Flight, a Richmond-based band that had regularly opened for Steel Mill. He made his debut with Steel Mill on August 29 at the 3rd Annual Nashville Music Festival, sponsored by [[WMAC]]. Steel Mill was one of about twenty different acts to take part. Headliners included [[Roy Orbison]], [[Brian Hyland]], [[Ronnie Milsap]], [[Bobby Bloom]], [[Ballin' Jack]], [[Ten Wheel Drive]] and [[The Illusion (band)|The Illusion]]. Steel Mill was one of only a handful of acts on the bill without a record contract - some college students with connections on the festival’s organizing committee had seen Steel Mill perform previously in Richmond and helped the band gain a slot on the bill. On September 11 they played another show at the Clearwater Swim Club which entered into Steel Mill folklore. Among the opening acts was a local folk singer, Jeannie Clark whose backing band consisted of Steve Van Zandt, Garry Tallent and [[Southside Johnny]]. Steel Mill's lineup for this show included guest drummer Dave Hazlett of Mercy Flight. Lopez had earlier been in detained in Richmond after getting caught up in a police raid. Steel Mill caused a near riot when they exceeded a curfew and Federici earned his nickname "The Phantom" by disappearing from the melee with lightning speed. On October 11 they opened for [[Ike & Tina Turner]] at The Mosque in Richmond and on November 27 they played on a triple bill with [[Cactus (band)|Cactus]] and [[Black Sabbath]] at the Sunshine Inn in [[Asbury Park]]. Steel Mill played their final show on January 23 1971 at The Upstage. However during the early 1970s Springsteen, Lopez, Federici and Van Zandt would go onto play together in several short lived bands based out of the Upstage. These included Bruce Springsteen & The Friendly Enemies, The Sundance Blues Band, Dr. Zoom & The Sonic Boom Band and The Bruce Springsteen Band before eventually evolving into the [[E Street Band]]. <ref>[http://brucebase.org.uk/gig1970.htm Brucebase 1970-71]</ref>

===Steel Mill Retro===
Since 2004 Vini Lopez has led Steel Mill Retro , a band which has played and recorded [[Bruce Springsteen]] songs from the Steel Mill era. <ref>[http://www.steelmillretro.com www.steelmillretro.com]</ref> Lopez was a veteran of numerous [[Jersey Shore sound|Jersey Shore]] bands, several of which had featured Steel Mill songs in their set lists.

== Biography ==
==Discography==
Steel Mill never released any official recordings. However both Robbin Thompson and Vini Lopez, as part of Steel Mill Retro, have both recorded songs originally performed by the band.


*'''Robbin Thompson''' <ref>[http://www.robbinthompson.com/discography.html www.robbinthompson.com]</ref>
In 1969 Springsteen jammed regularly at a small [[Asbury Park, New Jersey]] club named The Upstage, and there he was noted and immediately contacted by three other regulars of the place, organist [[Danny Federici]], drummer [[Vini Lopez]] and bassist [[Vinnie Roslin]], in order to form a band, which was called '''Child'''. From 1969 through 1971, Springsteen performed around New Jersey with Child, later renamed '''Steel Mill''' after Bruce heard that there was already another band named Child performing on the Jersey Shore.They went on to play at [[Virginia Commonwealth University]] in [[Richmond, Virginia]], and also performed regularly at small clubs in Asbury Park and along the Jersey shore, quickly gathering a cult following. Steel Mill also tried their luck heading out to California in late December 1969, and in January of the following year they played an unforgettable multiple night stand at [[The Matrix (club)|The Matrix]], a [[San Francisco]] club founded by [[Marty Balin]] of [[Jefferson Airplane]]. But most of all the California trip was marked by an invitation from [[Bill Graham (promoter)|Bill Graham]] to perform at his [[Fillmore West]] and then to audition at Pacific Recording Studio, in San Mateo, at 1737 S. El Camino Real. Also referred to as "Pacific Recorders", this studio is best known as the place where both [[The Grateful Dead]]’s [[Aoxomoxoa]] LP and [[Carlos Santana]]’s debut LP were recorded.
** "He’s Guilty (Send That Boy To Jail)" : Recorded as "Guilty" for the 1985 album ''Better Late Than Never''. Also included on the 2002 Thompson collection ''The Vinyl Years''. In 1997 it was also included on ''One Step Up/Two Steps Back: The Songs Of Bruce Springsteen''.
** "The Train Song" : featured on 2007 album ''One Step Ahead of the Blues''


*'''Steel Mill Retro'''
The audition resulted in the recording, on February 22 of 1970, of three band originals: "Guilty", "The Train Song" and "Going back to Georgia". The event represents the first true professional studio recording in Springsteen career and was followed by a recording contract offer by Graham. The offer was eventually turned down because the advance money was judged too small. When Steel Mill returned home the band was joined by Springsteen long time friend [[Steven Van Zandt]], who replaced Roslin on bass, and later by vocalist Robbin Thompson. Steel Mill disbanded at the end of January, 1971.Vini Lopez has recently reformed Steel Mill and the band has released a CD on Mega International records. The new lineup of the band consists of Vini Lopez on drums, Bill Kacerek (Bill Kace)on Keyboards (also with Cool Days End), Ed Piersanti on bass and John Galella on guitar. Tinker West the original manager is also the current manager for the project. Steel Mill Is currently in the studio working on their next release.

==References==
Federici, Lopez, and Van Zandt would go onto become members of Springsteen's longtime backing group [[The E Street Band]]. The very name Steel Mill would presage Springsteen's late 1970s interest in [[working class]] [[Americana]], as exemplified by later songs such as "Factory" and "The River" and so on.

Steel Mill

Steel Mill was an early Bruce Springsteen band. Other members of the band included three future members of the E Street Band - Vini Lopez, Danny Federici and Steve Van Zandt. As well as playing on the Jersey Shore, Steel Mill also played regularly in Richmond, Virginia and played gigs in California and a festival in Nashville, Tennessee, opening for acts such as Chicago, Boz Scaggs, Grand Funk Railroad, Roy Orbison, Ike & Tina Turner and Black Sabbath. [1] [2] Since 2004 Vini Lopez has led Steel Mill Retro which has performed and recorded original Springsteen songs from the Steel Mill era. [3] [4]

History

Early bands

Three of the bands founding members, Bruce Springsteen, Vini Lopez and Vinnie Roslin met for the first time on April 22 1966 at a battle of the bands competition at the Matawan-Keyport Roller Drome in Matawan, New Jersey. Roslin was one of the judges while Springsteen and Lopez competed in the competition with their respective bands, The Castiles and Sonny & The Starfires. [5][6] However before coming together to form Steel Mill, both Springsteen and Lopez went on to play in other bands. Springsteen formed Earth with fellow Ocean County College students, John Graham (bass) and Michael Burke (drums). They would later be joined by another former Castile, Bob Alfano (organ). [7] Lopez, meanwhile, played with the Downtown Tangiers Band, with also included Bill Chinnock, Danny Federici and Garry Tallent, and then in Moment of Truth with Tallent, Federici and Ricky DeSarno (guitars) [8][9].

Child

In 1968 the Upstage Club was opened at 702 Cookman Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The club would subsequently play a central role in the history of both Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes. On February 14 1969, Lopez, looking to recruit a guitarist for a new band, attended an Earth show at the Italian American Mens Association Clubhouse in Long Branch, New Jersey. Then on February 21, Lopez, Springsteen, Federici and Roslin got together at the Upstage and formed a new band called Child. Shortly afterwards Carl "Tinker" West, a surfboard designer and concert promoter who originally came from California, becomes the bands manager. From March 1969 onwards Child played regularly at the Pandemonium in Wanamassa, New Jersey and on May 28 they opened for James Cotton when he played at this venue. Child also played there on July 20 1969, the night of the first moon landing. The club installed several TV monitors especially for the occasion and during the show the audience stopped watching the band in favour of Neil Armstrong. As a result the band fell out with the club management and never played at the their again. On November 1 1969 the band played their last show using the name Child at the Virginia Commonwealth University. Shortly afterwards they discovered that another band from Long Island, New York was also using the name and had just released an album under that name on Roulette Records. Roslin has stated that they were actually mistaken for the other Child during shows in Richmond, Virginia. [10][11][12][13][14]

Steel Mill

To avoid confusion with the other Child, the band changed their name to Steel Mill, a name suggested by Chuck Dillon, a friend of Lopez [15]. On November 21 1969 at Randolph-Macon College the band opened for Chicago and the following night they opened for Iron Butterfly at same venue [16]. In early 1970 Steel Mill visited San Francisco and performed at The Matrix and Fillmore West, and played on the same bill as Elvin Bishop, Boz Scaggs and Grin. On February 22, they also recorded three songs - "Goin’ Back To Georgia", "The Train Song" and "He’s Guilty (Send That Boy To Jail)" - at the Pacific Recording Studio in San Mateo, California for Bill Graham. Graham had just formed Fillmore Records and actually offered Steel Mill a contract. However the band rejected it. Shortly after returning from San Francisco, Roslin left Steel Mill. He played his last gig with the band at the Virginia Commonwealth University on February 28 1970 and he was subsequently replaced by Steve Van Zandt. Exactly why Roslin left the band remains unclear, but it has been speculated that it was because he was in favour of accepting Graham’s offer of a contract. [17][18][19]

On their return from California, Steel Mill continued to play regularly on the Jersey Shore and in Richmond, Virginia. On June 13 1970 they opened for Grand Funk Railroad at the Ocean Ice Palace in Bricktown, New Jersey. On June 21 they played at the Clearwater Swim Club in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey when their opening act was Glory Road, a band whose line up included Garry Tallent and Bill Chinook. In August the band added Robbin Thompson as lead vocalist. Thompson had been the lead singer with Mercy Flight, a Richmond-based band that had regularly opened for Steel Mill. He made his debut with Steel Mill on August 29 at the 3rd Annual Nashville Music Festival, sponsored by WMAC. Steel Mill was one of about twenty different acts to take part. Headliners included Roy Orbison, Brian Hyland, Ronnie Milsap, Bobby Bloom, Ballin' Jack, Ten Wheel Drive and The Illusion. Steel Mill was one of only a handful of acts on the bill without a record contract - some college students with connections on the festival’s organizing committee had seen Steel Mill perform previously in Richmond and helped the band gain a slot on the bill. On September 11 they played another show at the Clearwater Swim Club which entered into Steel Mill folklore. Among the opening acts was a local folk singer, Jeannie Clark whose backing band consisted of Steve Van Zandt, Garry Tallent and Southside Johnny. Steel Mill's lineup for this show included guest drummer Dave Hazlett of Mercy Flight. Lopez had earlier been in detained in Richmond after getting caught up in a police raid. Steel Mill caused a near riot when they exceeded a curfew and Federici earned his nickname "The Phantom" by disappearing from the melee with lightning speed. On October 11 they opened for Ike & Tina Turner at The Mosque in Richmond and on November 27 they played on a triple bill with Cactus and Black Sabbath at the Sunshine Inn in Asbury Park. Steel Mill played their final show on January 23 1971 at The Upstage. However during the early 1970s Springsteen, Lopez, Federici and Van Zandt would go onto play together in several short lived bands based out of the Upstage. These included Bruce Springsteen & The Friendly Enemies, The Sundance Blues Band, Dr. Zoom & The Sonic Boom Band and The Bruce Springsteen Band before eventually evolving into the E Street Band. [20]

Steel Mill Retro

Since 2004 Vini Lopez has led Steel Mill Retro , a band which has played and recorded Bruce Springsteen songs from the Steel Mill era. [21] Lopez was a veteran of numerous Jersey Shore bands, several of which had featured Steel Mill songs in their set lists. In 1989 Lopez was playing with Live Bait, a band led by singer/songwriter Laura Crisci. As well as playing original Crisci songs, this band also included two early Springsteen songs in it’s setlist, "Goin’ Back To Georgia" from the Steel Mill era and "Cowboys of the Sea" which had been performed by The Bruce Springsteen Band. Lopez also took lead vocals on both songs. [22] During the 1990s Lopez led his own bar band, Maddog & The Disco Rejects. Members of the band included John Luraschi (bass) and Ricky DeSarno (guitars).
