2 Bit Saloon

Who’s thirsty?

Former 2 Bit Employee and all around badass!! Check this out! 👇🏼 🤘🏼

Steve Bostick formed his first band out of high school, Los Coz, in '93 with four close friends, including Jason "Frosty" Frost. It wasn't long before the music got heavy and they changed their name to Orange 42.

They recorded an unreleased album, a few demos, and played shows with bands like Bristle, Wh******se of Representatives, Defiance, at local favorites like Lake Union Pub and the Storeroom. In '96 Steve left the band, craving something new.

In 2001 he and Frosty reconnected and formed a new band, Dragstrip Riot - a blend of punk, blues, surf, rockabilly with Steve singing and Frosty playing drums. They put out a few albums, working with Jack Endino on their second release "DAMN!"

Steve has had a stellar career, in addition to the aforementioned bands, he has played in many others including The Graceland Five, an all-Elvis tribute act played as if Elvis fronted The Ramones; Jackrabbit Starts, The Freams, who are working on a second EP, and The Scoffs a punk rock band with a melodic vintage '77 feel. The Scoffs have released 2 EPs, a split, a full length LP and have played with bands like Lion's Law, Grade 2, Fleshies, The Casualties, Strung Out, Agent Orange, FEAR, HR and more.

Steve is very proud to have his feet firmly planted in the PNW music scene. He told us, “I've been active in our local music scene since 1993 and I never left. I've been at a million shows rooting on local bands of all stripes, I've played everywhere from the Storeroom to the Showbox S**o, I've seen the Mighty Mighty Bosstones naked, I've shaken hands with Lemmy after he had them in his pants, experienced sticky carpets at Lake Union Pub and hash after the bash at the Off Ramp, and I still get to play music I love with people I love. It's been a hell of a ride!”

Thank you Steve for all you’ve done for music and our town. You and your accomplishments are greatly appreciated.
