ROCK E. ROLLINS: THE POST-MODERN ADVENTURES OF 21st CENTURY ROCK N ROLL BOY [2003]
SUPERHETERODYNE [2005]
MEMORY THEATRE [2007]
Perhaps the most inspiring and original set of tunes we've heard yet. This manic little screwball high-school review has something all of it's own. Exquisite tunes, tirelessly referential images, soundtracky, sequential and plucked from a sparkly constellation of toys and stars. Bloody marvellous. Every tune a winner.

SAL BAGLIO LIVE
solo, trio, 8 and 11 piece band
Sal’s clever solipstic sojourns through his past (from his brilliant new CD Memory Theatre) carry the night with sheer personality. “Starboy” and “The Boy with the Amplifier Head” shine with delicacy and dynamics before he decides to crank it up on “45” and “Rock Band.” It’s a thrill to see him churning out radiant solos with acoustic bassist Sven Larson matching him note for note. Sal always puts out 100 percent—doesn’t matter the size of the crowd or the venue. The trio finishes to a rousing ovation.
The Noise
...What follows is sheer poetry—a poignant suite that places the heart of Salvatore Baglio onto a grand musical scale. It includes most of the sensational tunes from his new album, as well as selected tunes from his Rock E. Rollins period interspersed with personal favorites like “Waterloo Sunset” and “Happiness is a Warm Gun,” offering sordid stories about his flamboyant past growing up in East Boston, and concluding with his transformation into a reformed, rejuvenated performer. All this laid bare with just an acoustic guitar! For this stunning personal declaration of faith, he receives a standing ovation from the transfixed audience. Phew!
The Noise
Sal Baglio also a member of URBAN CARAVAN

Baglio is truly New England Rock Royalty and though the crown might be slightly bloodied from the wear of the road, it shines with the jewels of genius.
