Salon Kingsadore is an upbeat instrumental combo with points of reference as diverse as surf guitar, jazz, European film soundtracks and psychedelic rock.
Returning with their second studio album, Hotel Azteca, SK sound very much like they could be the missing link between early Santana and The Clean.
In early 2000, the band formed to write music for a local stage play. A couple of years later they released the vaguely spy movie- ish EP, "Flaming Morricone" (2002) which, due to the virtuosity of Ruby Chen, is quite possibly the first rock recording in NZ to feature the Taiwanese zither. In 2004 they released their debut album Salon Kingsadore, which introduced them to a wide and varied audience of music fans. A short time later, they were invited to perform at the prestigious Salerno International Film Festival, in Salerno Italy.
Their second full length album Hotel Azteca will be released early May 2006.
