Fonda
Fonda's breezy pop sensibility captured the
hearts of indie-pop fans across the country as evidenced by selling nearly every
copy of their "Music For Beginners" CDEP within months of its release. David Newton,
a long time friend of the band and former member of Sire/Reprise artists, The
Mighty Lemon Drops, joined Fonda after recording their debut album "The Invisible
Girl" in his Burbank studio in 1999. Fonda self-released the album in November
1999. It was embraced by college radio, peaking at ..39 on CMJ 200. Songs from
the Invisible Girl would be released on compilations in Japan and used in various
films and TV shows including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Roswell and a slew of indie
films including "Down and Out with the Dolls." Fonda's sound has been
described as a gorgeous collision of melodic indie-pop and gracious dreampop sonics
punctuated by angelic female vocals. The band released the LP "Catching Up
To The Future" in the Fall of 2003, which is best described as the sound
of guitars: lush, crisp, crunchy and loud. The members of Fonda are currently
living and working in various corners of Los Angeles, California. They get together
for wine tastings more frequently than they do to work on songs.
