Before long, Katona crossed paths with Steve Buckner. The two are now part of a trio that form the band Texas Flood with Katona handling both guitar and vocals while Buckner, 55, plays bass guitar and Travis Montoya, 33, thrashes the drums.
“Texas Flood was born as Voodoo Blue, which was Steve’s band, originally,” says Katona. “He had different bands over the years, but the three of us, we’ve been together for a little over 10 years.”
The group performs in concerts and at private parties, sometimes mingling their own music with various covers. Things were thriving, Buckner says, until the COVID-19 pandemic stretched its gnarly fingers across the country.

MELBOURNE: It was summer, 1999. A cricket match in Australia would usually be a sea of yellow. The Indian community in Australia was not large, but a small band of 15 wanted to paint the Adelaide stands blue for the India-Australia Test series. Raghav Bhatia was ‘I’ and Rakesh Jampala ‘D’ in the line of five to spell out ‘INDIA’ that day. India lost.
“But it was extraordinary. We knew we had to do it again,” said Rakesh, now 38.
They did. In the 21 years since, the two have attended every single Test India has played in Australia. And they were at Adelaide again on Thursday their 24th Test.
