Salty Blackflour was formed in the late Spring of 1997 when three young instrumentalists who happened to be best of friends decided to start a band. The new group consisted of David Green, who had a very bluesy background and amazing natural talent, John Hickey who was very much into the whole Seattle grunge scene, and Luis Gomez who pretty much wanted to play some music and had no prior experience with the drums; they all however had one thing in common...At the time they did not know it, but these 3 young composers would soon be three-fourths of one of the most original and creative bands to grace the music world.
    After spending some time searching for a bassist, SBF finally found someone who not only wrote brilliantly, but played with the natural talent of a fox. Daniel Preusch was indeed what Salty Blackflour had needed to get off to a wonderful start.
Shortly after SBF had been practicing together they decided to start to play live shows. Looking back, the band have all agreed that that was probably not the best decision. Inexperience and the "un-catchy" songs didn't sit well with the audience. Sounding like a 1976 psych-trip rock band was not what this Marilyn Manson-listening crowd was looking for. After an embarrassing show at a small club, the band pretty much decided to put their live shows on hold for a while.
    After months of practicing new material, Salty Blackflour felt confident in playing live in front of people again. This new sound, though altered a bit, has stuck with the band to this day. With the trippy feel of an acid-dropping hippy, the kick-you-in-the-face driving distortion of the undergound hard-core scene, and the shake-your-booty-in-a-bucket funk element, SBF's music has left a boot mark in the ass of Rockland County.
    Since that time, Salty Blackflour have released their first EP entitled "Nocturnal Sunshine" and they have played a countless number of shows and gained a very strong, and loyal fan base. After a falling out of Dan Preusch, SBF handed the 4 stringed bazooka over to their long time friend, and fellow musician, James Meakim. With their new addition, Salty Blackflour has no where to go but up. Look out!
