Thanks to everyone for coming out to our recent shows at The Press and Romano's.
Our new found friend Krys Mach, on sax and flute, has been tearing it up!
Krys was in the band Level 42 out of London for many years and it's
been a real treat having him play with us. You'll see more of
him with us again in our upcoming shows. We'll be reappearing
at both venue's in the coming months along with our debut at
the La Ve Lee in Studio City. The upcoming DVD is finally going
through the last of the editing process and should be ready for
duplication in June and will be available soon after.

CD Review from
www.proggnosis.com:
"Potato Salad is
a band that started out as a tribute to some of the greatest LA musicians
of our time and the band name itself is a tribute to the great fusion
club, The Baked Potato, where they tore it up. I had heard snippets
of their live material prior to this debut CD coming out and these
guys were definitely on the right track to release a CD as one listen
will convince you. Not just your average tribute band, they are extremely
talented and will not leave you wanting with the complex arrangements,
tight playing and all around great energy, Their talents were so
distinctive that it didn't take much to get a couple of their tributees
including Larry Klimas (Manhattan Transfer, Karizma), David Garfield
(Karizma, Larry Carlton, Los Lobotomys, Gregg Bissonette) and Lenny
Castro (Toto, Karizma, Michael Landau) to play on the album. (Garfield,
who produced this album, had even sat in a few times on previous
live gigs)
Doug Nofsinger,
a relatively unknown guitarist (though not for long) has the chops
as does the rest of the band. On this debut recording we have live
performance works from The Baked Potato where they play original
material along with covers of some of their favorite tracks. The
sound and mix is every bit as good as the music. It is particularly
exciting to report that the the original works are every bit as memorable
as the covers - and I can highly recommend Potato Salad to anyone who
likes extremely grooving fusion."
