Palominos are a type of horse with a golden skin colour and The Golden Palominos is the musical project by the drummer and producer, Anton Fier.
At the beginning of the 1980s, Fier formed his first version of The Golden Palominos with John Zorn, Bill Laswell, Arto Lindsay, David Moss and Jamaaladeen Tacuma.
This original line-up, however, soon broke up and already in 1983, Tacuma was replaced by Fred Frith for a concert at the moers festival. In the following years, some further drastic fundamental changes were brought about and in 1996, he again found himself, solo with the speaker Nicole Blackman, on the album Dead Inside.
The only constant throughout the catalogue, which spans over 10 published works, is Anton Fier himself: he produces, plays the drums and is responsible for the musical designs.
Always in the forefront for The Golden Palominos is the production of albums. Between 1987 and 2010 they have not given a single concert. Last year, there was a live revival appearance in New York with the singer Syd Straw, who collaborated on the 1986 album This is how it feels:
Now, once again, there'll be the rare opportunity to hear The Golden Palominos live: Anton Fier will be bringing a songwriter line-up to Moers:
Anton Fier describing his latest project with his own words:
The Golden Palominos will be playing live on Sunday at the moers festival - without horses but with good music.

Anton Fier describing his latest project with his own words:
the golden palominos were never a "band" per se. they have always been a group of musicians brought together for a moreor less, specific purpose.. by me. the purpose this time, is to present the music of several of my current collaborators: kevn kinney (with who i am collaborating on the album, "a good country mile"), lianne smith (whose first solo record i am currently producing), tony scherr (whose trio i have been playing for the past several years), and jim campilongo (whose masterpiece,"orange" i had the privilege of producing), to new audiences for a series of june performances. joining me in the rhythm section will be bassist chris morrissey. these will not be nostalgia shows. we will play no music from the gp catalogue. all of the music is new....and alive....played by the best musicians i know.....who also happen to be my closest friends.
The Golden Palominos will be playing live on Sunday at the moers festival - without horses but with good music.
