MELT is genre-defying music that skillfully blends elements of alterna-pop, punk, psychedelia, prog, swing, goth, tango, gypsy jazz, world beats, soundtrack music, and twisted takes on covers.  As the name implies, these seasoned local musicians take a variety of sounds and MELT them together in a sizzling rockstew... 

The idea came to bassist Paul Pipitone who had been playing in a several local Boston bands previously.  During these years though, he wanted something that was all over the place stylistically and fusing things from various parts of the globe. 

The largest challenge would be finding a singer who would be interested and could convincingly take on the scope.   Enter Lindsey Kyte via Craiglist.  Her background was in theatre and choir, not rock or pop.  It was one more thing to make the band different and stand out. Her powerful and versatile voice didn’t hurt either. 

Next up was guitarist/multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer Jonathan Sasor.  Jonathan was more than up for the challenge because his style can change on a dime.  This worked well on the existing songs and he brought in several strong songs of his own that fit right into the mix. 

Not long after, Jonathan brought in old friend and fellow recording engineer, Jim Schultz on drums.  They had played on and off for years in other bands.  Jonathan knew Jim’s ability to play in many different feels and styles naturally would make him a perfect addition. 

Well known in the Boston music scene, MELT has performed in a diverse arena of venues throughout New England creating dynamic, high-powered fusion songs for all musical tastes.  Stay tuned on this site for more gigs near you!
