Since more than a decade the musicians of Hotel Palindrone have been a driving force in the Austrian folk/roots music scene and they now present their second CD - „Samo Riba"

Short Band History :

• 1995 - Hotel Palindrone founded (3 members had been playing as „Klapotetz" since '92). Starting point: drone music traditions, mainly western European - plus the idea of combining subtle, intelligent arrangements with musical intensity. Influences of groups like Blowzabella and the concept of New Acoustic Music.
• stage appearances in the following years:
  invitations by cultural organizations and to festivals in Austria; first gigs abroad - well, not further than Northern Italy, but still... Exchange of ideas and concepts at festivals like St.Chartier (F) and in the strongly evolving Vienna session scene. Influences of jazz, minimal music and a pinch of klezmer.
• 1999 - the band's first CD Elegance
• Subsequently, Hotel Palindrone gets involved with more stiles und regions:
  Interest focuses on Scandinavia, the Balkans, in particular on old Alpine folk music from manuscripts of 18th and early 19th century. The band members' own compositions gain importance as well as playing for dancers!
• 2003: release Samo Riba

  Please note! Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
