Alpha Saloon are widely known for their unique style of Ultra Pop: big cinema by means of Zukunftsmusik. Great and bona fide timeless songs in mellifluous wide screen format.
Take-no-prisoners-style.
While reggae bands are usually playing reggae and metalbands are of course
playing metal, Alpha Saloon are playing Ultra Pop-thus simply leaving every single song the right to sound like what it wants to sound like.
Just as heterogenous and flamboyant is their following: it includes art school folks and fashionistas as well as punks, die hard cry-babies, mad cultists and happy goths that regularly come to see the shows and have a good time.
The four young maîtres-musiciens, a collective of hard rocking nuclear physicists as it is, have (altogether) spent almost 200 years playing with the finest orchestras at the worlds leading operahouses but still never quit their dayjobs as teenage russian lesbians.
A night with Alpha Saloon: living and enjoying music at the Château.
And then some, of course...
Alpha Saloon Live
While Alpha Saloon are a full four piece band in the studio, they usually enter the stage as a two-person outfit, consisting of Ahab (providing guitars and vocals), and the grim Dr. Ultra (on drums, vocals and occasional keyboards). So their live sound is of course a lot rawer, stripped down and deconstructive, with vivid dynamics and an obvious crush for rough and ready rock and roll. On the other hand, the reduced setup allows them to explore the field of awkward acoustic ballads as well.
