The Salteens

Since the 2000 release of their acclaimed debut CD, 'Short-Term Memories' (endearing Records), The Salteens have become one of the great word-of-mouth success stories in Canadian independent music. Touring relentlessly for over two years � playing over 200 shows before thousands of people � the band not only accumulated masses of fans in their home country, but gained an equally devoted (and larger!) audience in Australia, Japan and the U.S. 'Short-Term Memories' quickly rose to the top of Canada's national college radio chart, and was nominated in the category of Best Alternative Album at Canadian Music Week's 2001 Independent Music Awards.
