PALO ALTO (french band)

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V4.4-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------FR : Palo alto est probablement né en 1989 de la rencontre fortuite sur une table d’opération entre une machine à coudre et un parapluie. Certains aimaient Poulenc et l’Ecole de Canterbury, d’autres Ptôse, la scène allemande et la chanson française, d’autres encore les mélodies hongroises ou les surprises sonores de la bande F.M. gentiment triturées... ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------EN : French group born in 1989 from the chance meeting of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table. Some liked Poulenc and the Canterbury School, others Ptôse, Krautrock and French song, others still Hungarian melodies or the nicely doctored sonic surprises from the FM band...PALO ALTO - TERMINAL SIDERAL trailer - CD / DVD - available
