Salad (Band)
Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAL : Salad (Band)
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.
