Soma Holiday, Psychedelic influenced rock group from San Francisco. Founders Chris Haynes(guitar) and Michelle McTamaney (vocals, Keyboards) met while studying at San Francisco State University. Recruiting Robert Sansome (bass) and after a few changes Pejman Hakimi (drums). The band played extensively in their hometown of San Francisco from 1987 until release of their debut album in 1990[1]. Garnering very loyal following and the interest of manager Mark Barbeau, also managing M1 Alternative (C'est la Mort records)[2]. The Band used stunning visual effects for their live shows, with projections and lighting effects and employed electronic drums and effects as they were completing the recording of their 2nd album. The group continued to record enough material for a their 3rd album as they were using the great production skills of the guitarist Chris Haynes who went on to work with The Foo Fighters, Norah Jones and others[3], as well as Jeff Kliment[4] and Ted De Palma. The group disbanded shortly after 1993 and have gone on to do separate projects with McTamaney joining Action Jackson[5]. Hakimi having recorded with Sunset Republic [6], and Sansome recording solo material. The original line up has reconvened after 23 years of separation to complete the recordings of their 2nd and 3rd album to be released in the year 2018-19.
