Salle Gaveau spawned from the Japanese Avant-prog band Bondage Fruit, birthed by guitarist Natsuki Kido. Their archetype Tango sound was highly influenced form masters Astor Piazzolla, with all performers versed in Argentinean Tango. The band made their first appearance as a group in 2003, consisting of Natsuki Kido (guitar), Naoki Kita (violin), Yoshiaki Sato (accordéon) and Keisuke Torigoe (contrabass). In October 2005, Masaki Hayashi (piano) joined the band, rendering the line-up complete. Salle Gaveau have only released one album Alloy (2007), which can be described as Chamber Tango, facilitated with the likes of: Classical, jazz, rock, progressive rock. Through passages of electric musical dexterity these five top class performers craft energetic Chamber prog of the highest calibre. The band has a left field sound when paralleled to traditional Japanese Avant-prog; a subtle French class taints their sound, thanks to the accordéon. Between the fast pace flourishes they coax their audience with more digestible delicacies, procuring a perfectly balanced album. Unfazed by playing next to the likes of Magma and Present, the band gained international success, with their astounding performance at the 2007 Rock In Opposition festival. Salle Gaveau should reach out to vast audience among progressive rock not just confining themselves to the absurd and weird. Highly Recommended. (Pressetext)
