(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.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/2/2006
Band Members: Marijne van der Vlugt (vocals and keyboards)
Paul Kennedy (guitar)
Pete Brown (bass)
Rob Wakeman (drums)

Charley Stone (live guitar, keyboards and backing vocals)

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."
