   About The Civil Tones
The Civil Tones embrace the organ and guitar sounds of southern soul combos, such as Booker T. and the M.G.'s. Memphis, not Malibu, is their Mecca. Not content, however, to merely reproduce the sounds of one genre, The Civil Tones deconstruct and recombine the elements of almost every major form of instrumental music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's (Surf, soul, jazz, lounge, film soundtrack) to create their own unique style of trippy vintage dance music. Discography:
Rotisserie Twist, 1996 | Soul Bucket, 1998 | Vodka and Peroxide, 2003

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.
