We’ve got some great new stuff coming up for all of you. I know it’s been a while since our last update, so this one is going to be BIG. We’ll not only have new songs in the On Demand player, (How many? In the HUNDREDS,) but we’ll also have some great new artists, and new genres coming up. Keep an eye on SalinasRadio.com. You won’t want to miss these updates.
After a LONG move, SalinasRadio is finally back up and running! We still aren’t 100%, but we’re off to a good start! While our live streams are not yet up and running, our On Demand Player is working fine. Given the amount of popularity the On Demand Player has gained, and the current generation of listeners we are entertaining, we may even work towards making all of our music available On Demand and do away with the live streams all together. We’ll see. 
For now though, we’ll work on getting the streams back up, getting some new bands promoted, featuring some new music in our On Demand Player, and hopefully setting up some more shows!

Para La Gente (PLG)
Hey everyone, we just wanted to let you know that we’ll be writing a review pretty soon on Para La Gente‘s CD, People Living Growing. I would have waited for the review to get some promo out for these guys, but I’ve been listening to it a lot and it’s something you guys and gals need to listen to. Their genuine “New New School” music, self described as “Otherground Hip Hop, Live and Lyrical Rap, Digital and Dynamic with Rock, Funk, Reggae and Club influences” truly does bring something very new to the table. Their messages are clear, pick up the CD and hear for yourself. Official review coming soon.
You can grab a hard copy of their CD or as a digital download at CDBaby, And be sure to check out their MySpace.

Here are a few press quotes about The Travis Larson Band:
“…unquestionably a guitar lover’s dream, this dynamic power trio offers much more than the dime-a-dozen Berklee educated wankers vying to dethrone Joe Satriani...”
-Sea of Tranquility“…this band has all the chops and blazing technique to send all you wannabe shredders back to the woodshed, but what makes them stand so far apart from their peers is the SONGS…”
-Foundrymusic.com“Think of a musical stew mixing a thick brown Rush gravy with big hearty chunks of Steve Morse and a dash of Jeff Beck…I haven’t been this impressed since the pairing of nitro and glycerin…”
-Ray Sansom“…a smoking instrumental power trio…With tons of technique to burn…”
