Vocalist Laurence Martinez, guitarist Aaron Goodwin, bassist Tom Walker and drummer Pat Ruiz are back in action and everybody is waiting to see what happens next. The bond that those four always had was very strong. A lot can happen in two years. The musical climate shifts. Fans grow up and move on.
Bands lose their touch.
But judging from Salmon's set at the Edge on June 3, opening for Videodrone, the energy and chemistry are still there, and fans are still loyal. We didn't really promote it. That show wasn't promoted because the band was just testing the waters. Willies Conception reunites for one night to welcome Salmon back, and Hydrovibe and NinePastNine were hand-picked for the gig. Inside Salmon's rehearsal studio, Martinez shows a theremin, which he jokes is the reason they got back together in the first place.
