Bio
starts are where things begin and this is where we start...at the beginning>>>>> simon and his friend nicholas meet at the foot of a mighty mountain and they decide to climb this mountain . On route to the bit near the top they met a young man named ian of the yard of apples and they found him to be of use and an equal amongst unequals - so he became a member of the ascenders and so they did ascend and they then stumbled over one of the nearest guitarmen in the world of stringmen he said his name was to be called jonee and so it was and after much talk and much more agreements they found him to be among them. The four (4) wandered aimless and happy and happy and aimless towards the bit almost near the top of this mountain..... "Hey fellas, we need a ladybass to boom through the sonic sounds, but where can we find such a jewel...?" The answer of course was to be found near the top and it was at the top that their search ended. Bod was captured after some struggles and was made to join. Now they were 5 and in need of a name to be shouted from the top of the record mountain. After much searching simon found a tree with a single leaf. On one side was written the word FONDA on the other side,discovered by nicholas, was written a number and that number was..................... all grammer is correct and true, perhaps.

Sounds Like
Off-kilter pop gems that sound magnificent turned up loud and bright..all warm bleeps and a lo-fi guitar that woud make Graham Coxon itch with envy. Fonda 500 have a clutch of different sounds, ideas and instruments, resulting in a record that’s just lovely. J’aime Fonda 500! Plan B Magazine ..This is a breath of fresh air, Fonda 500 have nothing if not completely liberated imaginations and slightly unstable minds. Artrocker Magazine ..Not only covers excellent electro experimentalism but also veers from Lemon-Jelly-style lullabies to gentle acoustics and pretty harmonising. Metro London ..A sense of nostalgia and passing time pervades this album..there are haunting acoustic tracks and squelching electronica, yet a pleasing consistency is maintained. The band manage to inventively combine multi-layered experimentalism with pure pop. London Tour Dates ..Loud, proud and incredibly sexy, Hull’s Fonda 500 are back with another pure pop explosion for the ears. Wonderful stuff! NewNoise.net ..Album of the month - Fonda 500 click into their regular roles for a fourteen track demonstration into why they are one of the most criminally ignored acts in the world today. Je M'Appelle Stereo' shows Fonda 500 to be one of the most innovative and exciting bands around. CultureDeluxe ..There’s really something for everyone here, and enough ideas over 14 tracks to fill three albums. It’s a great first impression from a band with a lot of fun times to offer. **** Rave Magazine
