WATCH: Blane Fonda does Rush

Rush's Tom Sawyer -- Played by Blane Fonda
In order to pay for their most recent album Foolish Croon , Chicago dance rockers Blane Fonda took to Kickstarter. Donors came through for the band and Blane Fonda is showing their gratitude by releasing videos featuring selected cover songs. The latest is a blistering version of Rush's "Tom Sawyer." The band does a fairly decent rendition of the song with singer Mark Wetzel able to capture Geddy Lee's vocal inflections. The video also comes equipped with a big American flag in the background and a bald eagle. Since Rush is from Canada, [...]

Opportunity Rocks! (Official Music Video)
When we last heard from Chicago dance rockers Blane Fonda , the group needed help funding its debut full-length. We're happy to report that the group will finally release the album entitled Foolish Croon on Sept. 23. But before that album drops, Blane Fonda released a sweet video for "Opportunity Rocks" from its EP Master of Stars and Broken Arms . The space-loving outfit put on one hell of a neon light show backed by some pretty catchy grooves. It's like a cross between Lara Croft [...]

Help Blane Fonda release its debut album

Apr 18, 2011, 3:25pm loudloop
Help Blane Fonda release its debut album Glam rockers Blane Fonda have jumped on the online fundraiser bandwagon in order to fund the release of its forthcoming debut album. The Chicago quintet took to Kicktstarter to raise $5,000 to make the album a reality and they are just over half way there with over $2,600 currently pledged ahead of the May 31 project end date.

Buy Valium No Prescription

Oct 1, 2010, 3:14pm loudloop
Buy Valium No Prescription So, this is pretty cool slash interesting. Chicago's glammy prog-rockers Blane Fonda , who we reviewed back when our site was still in its infancy , are offering a free song...for a catch. If you want a free mp3 of their song "Salacious Love", then you first have to go to Paywithatweet.com and pay with a Tweet or a Facebook post. Is this the future of independent band marketing? Free songs for social media promotion? Only time will tell. If you'd rather catch Blane Fonda [...]

Daily Diversion – The Cortlandt Homes at Ronny's

Daily Diversion – The Cortlandt Homes at Ronny's The Cortlandt Homes Three things-aren't-always-as-they-s eem-and-sometimes-two-days-are -crammed-into-one reasons to roll up your sleeves and trip and stumble to Ronny's this evening... 1. Chicago's The Cortlandt Homes offer up the kind of rocking indie that made your record collection burst at the seems in the late 80's and early 90's. Are they drunk? They could be but that doesn't stop them from bashing out Pixies-like ditties with reckless abandon. Someone has to and Cortlandt Homes are here to oblige. 2. [...]

WATCH: Blane Fonda give new video for "Old Mare" the black and white treatment

May 17, 2010, 2:46pm loudloop
Last summer, I reviewed the debut EP from Chicago prog-glam rockers Blane Fonda and really quite enjoyed it's ever-shifting song structures. Well, recently the group released a new video from the EP titled Master Of Stars And Broken Arms for the track, "Old Mare". The song itself, which is admittedly the most poppy and least proggy from the record, still shines with it's big ol' backbeat and sweet trumpet line in the chorus. And the video features some gnarly black and white animation effects along with the band looking pretty snazzy in those suits. [...]

A Sunday Conversation With Blane Fonda

Apr 18, 2010, 3:40am The Ripple Effect
A Sunday Conversation With Blane Fonda Bringing on a cool, post-eighties, exquisite pop vibe, Blane Fonda were a treat from out of nowhere for us here at the Ripple. Needless to say, we didn't hesitate to have the boys come join us on the Ripple red leather interview couch and chat a spell. When I was a kid, growing up in a house with Cat Stevens, Neil Diamond, and Simon and Garfunkel, the first time I ever heard Kiss's "Detroit Rock City," it was a moment of musical epiphany. It was just so vicious, aggressive and mean. It changed [...]

Catch Up - Some things we missed last month

Jan 2, 2010, 3:42am Mad Mackerel's Blog
It was all a bit busy last month so we missed a few goodies that came our way. We're only just catching up with them now and have a few to share with you.Inu are a San Francisco based trio playing electro tinged rock with a suitably downbeat, slightly gothic feel. Their new release Monster EP is a collection of well-crafted songs that slowly creep up and overwhelm you if given the chance.

Grime, Glam and Regional Mexican

Dec 22, 2009, 9:39pm Impressionable Youth
Grime, Glam and Regional Mexican Blane Fonda sure loves irony. Their name makes me think of 80's jazzercise workout videos. Their press shot looks like it was shot with the technology and clothing styles available in the 90's. The sound is described as "grime, glam and regional mexican" on their myspace . All this irony. That's so post-modern of you, Blane Fonda! But their music is in no way related to jazzercise videos or regional mexican. There is a little bit of an atmospheric, heavily layered 90's influence from bands like the Smashing [...]

The Single Life - Another 7 inches of Fun

Oct 27, 2009, 3:49am The Ripple Effect
The Single Life - Another 7 inches of Fun Mighty High - Drops a Deuce - Cable TV Eye b/w Hands Up! (live n nasty) There's no doubt about it. Mighty High really is Brooklyn's most "regressive rock act." Draped by some of the most mind-blowing R. Crumb style artwork imaginable (courtesy of Wayne Braino Bjerke) Mighty High really do drop a deuce onto an unsuspecting, slightly horrified public with this amplified, hellified, fuzzified blitzkrieg of raving retro, primal bone marrow rock and roll. Just imagine someone driving a big old rusty screw bit right through the [...]

Blane Fonda - Master Of Stars And Broken Arms

Sep 1, 2009, 4:01pm loudloop
Blane Fonda - Master Of Stars And Broken Arms Sleek production, intricate arrangements and thoughtful lyricism are phrases not uttered too often when referring to a band's debut record. But Chicago's Blane Fonda have succeeded in all these areas on their debut EP Master Of Starts and Broken Arms . Even more impressive is that the band only formed in early 2009 and didn't even play their first show until last April. Blane Fonda are pretty much newcomers to the Chicago circuit forming from the remains of two former Chicago bands: The Sapiens and [...]
