The Riverdales were a punk band from Chicago that was formed in 1994 by Ben Foster (vocals/guitar), Dan Schafer (vocals/bass), and Dan Sullvian (drums), all former members of Screeching Weasel. They released their self-titled debut album in 1995, touring extensively that year as the opening act for the Mr. T Experience, and then for Green Day. The band recorded a second LP in 1997 but broke up upon its release. In 2003, Foster and Schafer revived the Riverdales' name with new drummer Dan Lumley to record the "Phase 3" LP. This line up never performed live and that band went into hibernation after the record's issue. In 2008, Foster and Schafer announced that the Riverdales were back again, this time with drummer Adam Cargin. Their new album, "Invasion U.S.A." will be released in 2009 and band will perform live.
