## Profile

[edit]

The band originally formed in 1998. Rachel Warren is the only original member still in the band, though Rachel and Christina had been in the band Trixie Belden together before Palomar. Sarah and Dale have been in Palomar since making their third record. They have completed national U.S. tours every year since 2003, including a tour shared with nationally renowned indie bands Mates of State, Spoon (band), Luna (1990s American band), The Wrens, Nada Surf, etc. Their music has heard praise from various magazines including Pitchfork Media and The Austin Chronicle. The blend of rock music and melodic female vocals create a simple and driving pop sound reminiscent of Rilo Kiley. After four albums, two on Brooklyn indie The Self-Starter Foundation, one on Kindercore Vinyl, and All Things, Forests was released by Misra Records on March 20, 2007. Their name is taken from the Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California.
