Cilantro

Don't spend the night. Don't start a fight.

About Me


Cilantro was started back in 1992.
The first Cilantro song was called "Birthday".
The first Cilantro song was recorded 1994.
The first Cilantro 7" was called "Empty Soda Can" and was released in 1998.
The "Empty Soda Can" cover art was inspired by "Waiting For Godot".
The second Cilantro 7" , "Sexy Sadie", was released in 2006.
Cilantro has also released two cassettes, "Amounts Of Nothing" (2006) and "Broken Melodies" (2007). New stuff soon-ish.
Cilantro plays live as little as possible.
Cilantro is just for fun and is nothing to worry about.
