The great Texas Heavy rock band that grew out of the ashes of The Headstones and The Meat. The entire 1997 Rockadelic LP plus the original versions of the Black Star 45s Heavy Texas Rock-77 MINUTES IN ALL- very much in the vein of Josephus, Mariani, and early ZZ Top!!

Seompi are on a very short list of Texas bands that successfully embraced the emerging heavy rock sound at the turn of the decade, using it (as did Mariani and, to a lesser degree, Josefus) to create provocative original music.

Created by Williams in 1969 as a power trio with no guitarist, it was this unusual line-up that recorded the first single on Blackstar. When both the 45 and the dual-bass guitar line-up were met with public indifference, Williams wisely ended the experiment and brought in Watkins on guitar. It was this more traditional quartet line-up that recorded all the music heard on the two full-length collections listed above, which are recommended. Both contain the band's second and third single releases, and are fleshed out with period rehearsal tapes of varying quality.

Fans of dark hard rock whould investigate this band's music.

Williams had earlier been with The Headstones, and their retrospective CD 24 Hours (Everyday) also includes Seompi's second and third 45s.
