Bio
.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ .... .... HELLO!.... This page has been up and running for a few months now and we Thank you for all your Comments and Suggestions and Contributions, Keep them coming please…. This page is nothing without them..... The turn around may seem a bit slow at the moment on the songs but that’s because Marijne, holder of all rare tracks, is a bit busy with other stuff so please hang on in there and keep checking..... We're still into knowing what you'd like to hear etc and your stories and any photos or if you know of any incriminating footage out there on You Tube etc..... If you want info or have a request, please drop a line to either Topher or Marijne, who are both known to be fantastic, clever, sexy and generous....... Great to get to know you all over again!.... SALAD....sorry...we can't approve anybody whose profile is set to private... and only personal comments will be displayed. ........ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ .... (from Wikipedia).... Salad was a UK-based pop group that included vocalist/keyboardist Marijne van der Vlugt, bassist Pete Brown, drummer Rob Wakeman, and guitarist Paul Kennedy. In 1996, Charley Stone (ex Gay Dad) joined the band as a live guitarist, keyboard player and backing vocalist...Thanks to van der Vlugt's amiable, joyous stage presence (along with her notoriety as a video jockey for MTV Europe), Salad gained a reputation as an energetic pop group comparable to other bouncy outfits like Sleeper and Elastica...They formed in 1992 and released three full-lengths -- 1995's Drink Me, the same year's Singles Bar, and 1997's Icecream -- before breaking up in the late '90s. Despite being part of the Britpop scene in terms of sound, they never quite received the same amount of attention given to their peers..... Van der Vlugt now writes and sings with her new band, Cowboy Racer whose song "Yellow Horse" recently featured on the hit U.S. television show, Grey's Anatomy..... Rob and Pete's new venture is www.BoreMe.com a place all viral emails can call home. -

Influences
Paul: "Always remember the three Franks - Black, Zappa and Sinatra. Pixies saved the music scene from a stodgy world of greyness in music. Dark days into which Black Francis, Kim, Dave & Joey shone a torch of beauty. Thank goodness for that! Oh and the two Bs, The Beatles and Beach Boys of course."..Marijne: "Queen for the songs, Freddy for the performances, the Deal Sisters, Audrey Hepburn (she was almost Dutch you know), Polly Jean H and Ravel (Bolero was my very first record along with Queen's News of the World)."..Rob: "The Pixies sent a rocket up our collective arse. The Breeders were gorgeous. And Dave Clarke and DJ Rush made me move like an idiot on the dancefloor." .. ..Salad Video Compilation - Edited by Marijne van der Vlugt...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..Drink The Elixir (1995) - Directed by David Mould...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..Motorbike To Heaven (1995) - Directed by David Mould...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..Granite Statue (1995) - Directed by David Mould...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..I Want You (1996) - Directed by David Mould...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..Dream A Little Dream (with Terry Hall) (1995) - Produced by Channel 4...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..Cardboy King (1997)...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..On A Leash (1994)...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..Your Ma (1994)...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..Cardboy King (1 take) (1997) - sequence shot of the kitchen scene...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. ..Drink The Elixir - Live at "Nulle Part Ailleurs" - French TV (1995)...... .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. .. -

Like many millions of people in the 90's, afraid i missed you 1st time around. Aware of the bands existence, was just in a different space. Gonna have to buy your CD's now! Better late than never
Really like the music
Love the music.
..Was listening to 'Drink me' today, one of the few albums of the era which has stood the test of time, still fantastic!
Hi!
Is it just me or does Salad's music just get better with the passage of time? I can't hear much "Britpop" nowadays without dismissing it as nostalgia but Salad's music is still revealing interesting little details. Such a shame they never received the attention they deserved while they were around.
salut, j'adore ce que vous faîtes! C'est pas si facile de vous trouver!
Très heureuse. M'avez accompagnée plusieurs années, les plus joyeuses, un peu grâce à vous!

... many thanks for the friendship ...
