"When I first heard the song 'Radio' from their debut EP, I knew there
was a lot there. I added 'Wait For Me' from their new EP into
rotation on Indie1031.com as soon as I was able to. So great to see
them evolving as a band!" - CHUCK P, Program Director, Indie1031.com
"Castaneda embraces its pop-ness and shamelessly performs its blend of '80s synth-pop and rock music." - KELLI SKYE FADROSKIELLI, SQUEEZE OC
"combine that unstoppable shameful urge to move (your feet, your hips), with a slight tug on your heart strings, and these guys have found your weak spot. With catchy drumming that packs an artful punch, the choruses of clapping and crescendo instrumentals that power songs like "Radio" are hopelessly addicting." - HAYLEY FOX, CAMPUS CIRCLE
"Where hopefulness and hopelessness meet you will find something that sounds like Castaneda." - SETH, LG15 THE RESISTANCE
Castaneda hails from the bustling and historical hills of Los Feliz, California. The electronic rock-pop quintet formed in early 2007 and has since been honored to play on various stages in Southern California – from the internationally-renowned West Hollywood venue The Troubadour to the Silverlake hipster mecca Spaceland.
Castaneda has made live appearances on major television sitcoms, and they've found their infectious and melodic wall of sound in various films and TV programs. “Radio”, from their 2007 self-titled debut EP, is featured in The Sims 2: Apartment Life video game.
The group’s songs have also graced the airwaves of SoCal radio stations including commercial giant KROQ and former Alt-outlet Indie 103-1, as well as tastemaker UC Irvine station KUCI.
2009 will be an exciting year for Castaneda as their new EP, So This Is What We’re Gonna Do, finds its way into the iPods and CD players of their growing fan base around the world...
