==History==
=== Formation and early years (1997–2000) === In 1997, Fadi El-Assad ("Freddy Castro") ([[lead guitar]]) and Patrick Lillard ("Spider Stewart") ([[Bass (instrument)|bass]]) formed The Riverboat Gamblers with Mike Wiebe ("Rookie Sensation") ([[Singing|vocals]]). Lillard's original intention was to emulate Virginia rockers [https://www.fandangorecs.com/candy/discog.html The Candy Snatchers] in direct contrast to the popular [[emo (music)|emo]] music at the time. Riverboat Gamblers got their start playing house shows throughout Denton and the Dallas/Fort Worth area.<ref>{{cite web|author=Christopher Gray|url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2006-04-21/359264/|title=SXSW: Let It Bleed: The Riverboat Gamblers take aim at their enemies - Music - The Austin Chronicle|publisher=austinchronicle.com|accessdate=12 April 2017|date=21 April 2006}}</ref>
=== Breakthrough and first releases (2001–2004) === With guitarist Fadi El-Assad writing the bulk of the music and vocalist Mike Wiebe in charge of lyrics, The Gamblers released their debut self-titled album in September 2001 on Vile Beat Records with it being produced by Texas punk rocker Tim Kerr ([[Big Boys (band)|Big Boys]], Lord High Fixers). They burst out of the Denton college scene at the same time on the back of their self-released 7" single "Jenna (Is A No Show)." The band first received attention from major record labels after their energetic and rowdy showcase at the 2003 [[sxsw|South by Southwest]] (SXSW) music festival in Austin, Texas, but the band ultimately signed with indie label Gearhead Records.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/riverboat-gamblers-mn0000281297/biography|title=Riverboat Gamblers|work=AllMusic|accessdate=28 March 2017}}</ref> Through this label, The Gamblers released 2003's [[Something to Crow About]] in June, which was also produced by Tim Kerr.

Their third album ''Backsides'' was released in September 2004 through Beatville and Vile Beat Records. The reason for their departure from Gearhead Records was due to a heavy touring schedule.<ref>{{cite web|author=Kira Wisniewski|url=https://www.punknews.org/article/50283/interviews-mike-wiebe-riverboat-gamblers|title=Interviews: Mike Wiebe (Riverboat Gamblers)|publisher=PunkNews.org|accessdate=28 March 2017|date=14 January 2013}}</ref>

At their 2021 Punk Rock Bowling show on September 26, Fadi El-Assad sustained a serious rupture of the achilles tendon.

The Gamblers were able to play one final show this year with El-Assad at the Punk in the Park music festival in Orange County, California.
