The Loose Salute are a British band founded by drummer Ian McCutcheon of Slowdive and Mojave 3 who also sings and plays guitar.
The band consists Lisa Delatour Billson [1](vocals, keys, percussion), Charlotte King (vocals, percussion, bells and whistles), Alan Forrester (keys), Alden Evans (guitars) and Benjamin Wesley Morgan (bass).
In a departure from McCutcheon's past projects, The Loose Salute plays a dreamy, surf rock sounding chorus of music helped in live performance by friends and fans.
The band tries to encapsulate togetherness and loneliness, as well as surfing, partying, and beaches among other things in their music.
The name is apparently a reference to the Michael Nesmith album of the same name.
