":: Live Music Shows + Chat with the Palette Town ::" Get ready to be carried away by their Indie Pop Rock sound, and dance your buns off with Palette Town! - Jolt Radio You can show your support this Saturday, December 3rd, at Art Basel’s Multiversal event, a show that combines music, live performances and art. They are currently working on the final touches of what will be their first EP. Their mission is: “to perform stimulating pop music that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and provide their audiences with a groovy listening experience“. Taking their name from Ash Ketchum’s hometown, Palette Town, the band began developing their sound, and in no time was playing alongside fellow local musicians throughout Florida. Feeling the need to expand musically early in 2011, they sought out help from their close friends Sylvano Umbac (Guitar) and Fredrik Baliwis (Bass), who didn’t hesitate to join them.

What had started as a small project between Chris Desalle (Guitar/Vocals) and Daniella Chamorro (Drums/Vocals) late in 2010, led to what has become Palette Town. Listen for yourselves on ‘Locals Only’ at 8pm (Wednesday) or by checking out their stuff at Local indie-rockers Palette Town will be treating us to a live acoustic session! They’ll be playing three songs from their newest EP and will fill you in on upcoming shows for you to mark in your calendars.or else.Īccording to their bio on Facebook, the band consists of “a couple of kids trying to paint some color on this black and white world.” They certainly have been painting this town, already building a body of work (pallete?) that includes colorful songs that do their part to add to the already vibrant music scene in our Magic City. If you tune-in for our next edition of Locals Only(Wednesday at 8pm) you’ll be in for a real treat. Palette Town invites you to join them for a “sensual acoustic session over the airwaves.” They’ll be bringing their palettes into town live on Wednesday at 8pm for 'Locals Only'. "Palette Town on Locals Only (August 1st at 8pm)" That’s how we feel as musicians, and it is what we wanted to express in this new EP.” - Jordan Melnick from Everyone has insecurities about what lies ahead, but nothing can be gained unless we are willing to move forward. Her uneasiness stems from the apprehension of an uncertain future. The cover of the EP, Baliwis explains, shows “a nameless girl who is about to enter a new city, and with a worried expression on her face she looks off into the cityscape. Together these qualities make Palette Town’s debut record, a self-titled EP released in late 2011, and its new EP, Life, Love, & Laser Guns, immediately enjoyable, the kind of music you’d happily play on a windows-down beachside drive even though air drumming while driving can get you killed.Īs such, Life, Love, & Laser Guns, recorded at audio engineer Lon Beshiri’s home studio, Casa Bazooka, comprises a quasi-contradiction: music affirmative in its energy and anxious in its outlook.

Genres aside, Palette Town’s music is refreshingly vivid, high-energy compositions fueled by Umbac’s relentless and melodious high-register guitar riffs, Baliwis’s bouncy bass lines, Daniella Chamorro’s metered frenzy on drums, and Chamorro and Chris DeSalle’s emotionally invested vocals. But above all it hints at their colorful music, which they describe as Arcade Rock, Garage Pop, Indie Shred, and Post-Pop. The obscure allusion actually suggests a lot about the band, including the Asian heritage of two of its members (Sylvano Umbac and Fredrik Baliwis, both the children of Filipinos) and their abiding affinity for Japanese anime and Japanese bands such as The Pillows. Palette Town, a quartet of Miami natives in their early 20s, say their band name is a reference to the original Pokémon video game, which featured a town named after a wooden board used for mixing colors: a palette.
