Palomar is a NYC band that plays gritty sing-song pop-rock. Palomar (rhymes with Mallomar) formed in April 1998 as a trio: Rachel, Sasha, Matt. Two cassettes and a self-released 14-song CD later, the band recruited second guitarist, vocalist and Rachel’s former bandmate from Trixie Belden, Christina, in Fall 2000 to stir up the noodles. In the summer of 2001, Sasha left Palomarsville and was replaced by Sarah, formerly of Philadelphian non-metal band Overlord.

Palomar has shared stages with Clinic, the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Luna, Ted Leo, The Gossip, Liars, The Oranges Band, The Natural History, The Strokes, Photon Band, Burning Airlines, The Microphones, Swearing At Motorists, Bangs, Sarge, Dressy Bessy, The Figgs, Poem Rocket, Realistics and many others.
