Palomar


Indie rock darlings Palomar formed in 1998 with Rachel Warren, Sasha Alcott, and Matt Hauser. They hooked up with Television's Fred Smith to independently issued a self-titled effort in 1999. Christina Prostano, formerly of Warren's old band Trixie Belden, joined the band in time for the CMJ Music Marathon Showcase in fall 2000. Sasha left shortly thereafter, leaving Sarah Brockett of the Philadelphia rock outfit, Overlord, to fill her shoes. Palomar played dates in and around Northeastern America for the next several years, sharing the stage with bands like the Strokes, Clinic, Luna, Burning Airlines, and the Microphones. They released All Things, Forests for Misra Records in 2007.

Palomar continued to perform and record independently as recently as 2019.
