Just wanted to start a discussion on these fabulous folks. It's my birthday and I'm listening to the really loud which means the day couldn't get any better really. I miss the Fonda anyone else out there feel the same?

Happy Birthday!
they are a great band yeah, when you say you miss them, does that mean they have split? (Cause I hope not) or cause it's been a while since any releases.
i saw them
at the end of last year - they were the aceness AND the singer was wearing a panda bear hat. how cool is that?
happy b'day!
fonda 500
are ace. there's a new album out in the summer and they're sorting out dates for a tour type thing NOW i think.
they're playing at the adelphi in hull on the 31st of march. dates booked so far =
april 1st harlow square
april 24th wakefield escobar
april 25th tbc
april 26th london purple turtle
april 27th salford kings arms
april 28th cardiff
may 27th the hull welly club
oh, and happy birthday, how's the festival thing going?
a new album !
Hurrah !
News of the day !!!
yeyyy
new dates! I'm very excited. I love it when they play the welly because everyone goes bonkers and starts moshing which sounds like the most ludicrous thing but is actually the most fun thing ever! Although the Adelphi is obviously their spiritual home.
Festival is going slowly although just had a sudden burst of support so watch this space.
I've heard of these guys
but never actually listened to them.
What do they sound like?
they sound like
many things but like nothing else !
Hope it helps !
They were awesome
And happy birthday.
I've only got
The Spectrumatronicalogical Sounds of Fonda 500. What else should I get?
the ABCDE LP
is brilliant too.
