Salon Kingsadore is an upbeat instrumental combo with points of reference as diverse as surf guitar, jazz, film soundtracks and psychedelic rock.
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". Their second full length album 'Hotel Azteca' is in its final stages of production and will be released May 5 2006.

This specially compiled 4 CD Box Set from Time Life features the best Folk Rock songs from the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s! Includes 71 Songs That Defined An Era and Influenced Generations... In Stores September 11
Not just another genre, folk rock was born as a statement—of purpose, of taste, of superiority—the baby boom’s first imprimatur, a musical mission and a personal battle cry in a divisive time of racial tension and escalating war. For a generation of philosopher dropouts and drug-inspired visionaries, it was also the best way to partake in the era’s hippest form of artistic expression, in numbers previously unknown to man.

I went to a hot spring with my sisters and nephews by car!
My 3yrs old half american half japanese nephew was listening SK music with me in the car.
he seemed he was enjoying your sound :)
hey SK... that's exactly what we're up to, writing, a few sneaky demos... but we should talk about another show sometime... it was so lovely sharing music with you salon boys xr
Much respect. If you have chance please check out my new track WASTED. Arranged, produced, written and performed by SERGE. If you may, please feel free to leave some feedback.
Much repsect like always. If you have a chance check out my new track "The Only Way I Hear Nas n Jay." Thats the name of it. Please keep doing your thing. Comments is always cool and listening is great.
Cheers for the hook ups, I have seen you guys play or met you somewhere. I think it was Auckland or London - can't be sure???? Maybe my mind was muddled at the time. My mother used to get her hair done by a gay ginge at the salon. I stayed in the car..

Keep up the good work!
