The Golden Palominos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (983 words)
The Golden Palominos was an American musical group headed by drummer and composer Anton Fier that was first formed in 1981.
Apart from Fier, the Palominos membership was wildly elastic; While the Palominos records usually featured a core set of musicians though the bulk of an album, various guest appearances would result in personnel and stylistic changes from track to track.
The group first featured Fier, singer-guitarist Arto Lindsay, saxophonist John Zorn, bass guitarist Bill Laswell and violinist/guitarist Fred Frith, with guest shots from bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma, guitarist Nicky Skopelitis, percussionist David Moss, turntablist M.E. Miller and others.
