Artist description
6 successful experienced St. Louis musicians came together to form The Linda Gaal Band in the summer of 1999. The band wrote and recorded it's debut album, Mars Calling Venus using all of it's members' multi-influenced creativity. The result is an excellent example of modern melodic rock that takes the listener on a ride through a myriad of sonic hills and valleys. |
