Caesar, an indie rock trio from Amsterdam, was formed in 1994 by Roald van Oosten and Marit de Loos. The band's lineup was completed with Sem Bakker on bass. Within a month of formation, Caesar released their first demo. They later signed with Excelsior Recordings, then known as (Nothing sucks like) Electrolux, releasing the single "Goodbye To Barruschna" in 1995 and their debut album Clean in 1996. The album received positive reviews and charted on OOR's Moordlijst. Caesar was awarded the Silver Harp for most promising new act of the year in 1997 and has played at major festivals such as Lowlands, Noorderslag, and Pinkpop. Their second album, No Rest for the Alonely, was released in 1998, followed by Leaving Sparks in 2000. In 2003, they released their self-titled fourth album and toured extensively. The band disbanded in 2008 and reunited for a one-off performance in 2016 for the 20th anniversary of Excelsior Recordings.
