Saloon Dion - Dave Sturgess (vocals), Tom Simpkins (guitar/vocals), Taryn McDonnell (guitar/vocals), Luke Mullins (bass), and Ben Molyneux (drums) - are a band both out of their time, yet perfectly in sync with the zeitgeist. They're the musical equivalent of finding a time capsule, opening it up, and discovering it's full of perfectly preserved zesty citrus fruit. Their sound is a glorious mish-mash of eras, a testament to the enduring power of guitar music and the ever-evolving nature of British pop culture.

As we settle in for a chat about their new EP 'Where You'll Find Me', it's clear that Saloon Dion are riding high on a wave of creativity and camaraderie. The band's journey from lockdown project to potential festival darlings has been assured, but they wear their relative success lightly, with the easy charm of old friends who just happen to make music together.

"Yeah, it's been a great year so far," Tom enthuses. "We've been busy developing our sound, writing and recording a lot. Things feel good." It's a simple statement, but one that speaks volumes about the band's current state of mind. There's no hint of jaded rock star cynicism here, just genuine excitement about the music they're making.
