SALON K

The return of ROCK AND ROLL!! A'lla 70's psychedelic pop rock with an early LA garage attitude!The songs are deeply unique, with an accessible pop flavor and the right amount of originality to taste new. The creative terrain of the band allows you to feel transported yet remain completely in the here and now. The band has honed in on a sound not falling far from the tree of bands such as, LOVE, X, POE and NO DOUBT. The music can be appreciated both recorded and live. Their "in your face" performances have been described as raw, fearless, with heartfelt emotion and humor.SALON K was founded by Kristen Raj and mid-wived by Gabriel "Frontrow" Rowland in ths summer of 2005.
