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.
