Don Salsa


Don Salsa is an experimental avant-jazz-metal collective from Los Angeles, California. Their music uses dizzying genre-shifts and structured improvisation to feed chaotic compositions. The birth of Don Salsa began in 1990 when Tim Smolens met Jason Schimmel at Miraleste High School in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Over the next seven years, their friendship was enriched by their freakish fascination for weird and wonderful music. This parallel passion for extreme music spawned Don Salsa and was encapsulated in their studio recordings. During 1997, Tim Smolens, Jason Schimmel, and Jeff Attridge co-wrote, recorded, and produced Don Salsa's debut album "Koolaid Moustache In Jonestown"
Don Salsa's arrangements have resurfaced on Estradasphere's third release "Buck Fever", available from Mimicry Records. The song "Rise N' Shine" features a respectful nod to Don Salsa's "Noiz Gameshow", sampled from their opening track "The Deck". This introductory composition is an epic thirty-two minute sound collage containing fragments from almost every genre of music.
