Palo Verde is a psychedelic sludge-rock duo comprised of Lauren K. Newman (LKN) on drums and Terrica Kleinknecht on guitar. They have been actively performing throughout the US and Northwest since 2006.
Palo Verde initially formed as an experimental double-drum duo (Stickitin) but evolved into the current guitar/drums incarnation. They have performed extensively in the Northwest and have embarked on several US tours, sharing the stage with bands such as Jucifer, Thrones, Black Elk, Japanther, and Kusikia. Palo Verde have self-released several albums recorded in their home studio. They released their first official c.d. History for the Rest of Eternity (recorded to 2" tape at Type Foundry by Lauren K. Newman) in May of 2010 on Drunken Beagle Records. Palo Verde toured in support of History for the Rest of Eternity in summer/fall of 2010. They've also recently recorded material (at Audible Alchemy with Christina Files and Dig Recording with Mark Kaeder) which will be released on vinyl, label yet to be determined. Palo Verde has a split 7" with Hot Victory and on 12" comp with five other bands for We Made These Records out now. They are currently putting the finishing touches on their 2008 Files engineered epic recording "Zero Hour".
