Javelin Boot was a pop band originating from Texas in 1978, founded by guitarist Dan O'Neill, bassist Blake Patterson, and drummer David Mider. Recognized by the Austin American-Statesman as one of the leading pop ensembles in Austin, the group initially released two albums: The Schwa Sound in 1988 and The Mauve Album in 1989. Following these releases, they signed with Pravda Records, through which they produced For Those About to Pop in 1993 and Fundamentally Sound in 1996. Their tracks were also featured on television series including Melrose Place and Party of Five.
The band ceased activities in 1998 after O'Neill moved to Taiwan.
