Saloon Dion Tickets

‘Trying’ follows the release of previous tracks ‘Struck’ and ‘Carnival’ which were lauded by the likes of The Telegraph, The Line Of Best Fit, NME, Dork, DIY, Huw Stephens at BBC Radio 6 Music, John Kennedy at Radio X and more. 

Another stellar slice of post-Britpop euphoria, ‘Trying’ explores the art of moving on, and acknowledging that it’s never too late to find happiness. Vocalist Dave Sturgess expands “‘Trying’ is about two people trying to make something work, when everyone knows they’re better off apart. Growing up, my parents slept in different rooms and were essentially separated by the time I was lucid. Despite that, they stayed married until I was 18, but now that they’re separated they get on better than ever.” 

The first new body of work since their debut EP *Muckers *arrived last year, *Where You’ll Find Me *was recorded in Newcastle with Thom Lewis (aka Bramwell Bronte) and ushers in a fresh era for the band building upon their loose-fit early 90s sound, laden with hooky choruses and catchy, yet intricate guitar work. 

Vocalist Dave Sturgess says of the themes on the EP: “Lyrically, *Where You’ll Find Me *draws on themes of unrequited love, fear of commitment, growing old, growing up too fast, loneliness, arrogance, ignorance, self reflection and self destruction, but ultimately culminates with an overriding theme of moving on, and being better for it.” 

After performing separately in various bands in and around Bristol, the five friends coalesced as Saloon Dion. Saloon Dion is Dave Sturgess (vocals), Tom Simpkins (guitar/vocals), Taryn McDonnell (guitar/vocals), Luke Mullins (bass), and Ben Molyneux (drums).
