The Wintermarket

The Wintermarket formed in 1997, as an excuse for keyboard player Ron Elliott to record some tunes with friends and play with some borrowed gear. The Wintermarket included Tone Valcic on drums, Dino Verginella on bass, and the late Kymbliss Drake on vocals and sometimes piano. The music had a unique sound, drawing from Drum 'n Bass, New Wave, Jazz and Rock. Although the tunes were never intended to be more than demos, Ron released them online after Kym's passing. The Wintermarket found themselves back in the studio, October of 2007, a little older, and much wiser. Ron wanted to make an instrumental Hammond Organ based record. He made a few calls, everyone showed up, an now you get to enjoy the results. Some of these songs are first takes, and are presented, warts and all for public consumption. The Wintermarket are currently working on their third album, this time more of a solo effort from Ron. Read more on Last.fm.
