STEAMING SATELLITES
PERFORMANCE: Saturday, May 23, 2015 / / Scène Fac’tory
The city of Salzburg immediately triggers images of magnificent buildings and the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Neither of these two things seem to have had much of an impact on the Salzburg band Steaming Satellites. The trio combines indie-rock with space- and psychedelic-rock while electronic elements shimmer underneath. http://www.steamingsatellites.com
