Fonda 500
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fonda 500 (A.K.A. F500 or Fonda500) are a British band hailing from Kingston-upon-Hull. They appeared on the soundtrack to British comedy Teachers. They have built up a cult following since 2000 chiefly through their live performances and their musical style, comparable to Black Sabbath jamming with the Beach Boys[citation needed]. The core pair are Simon Stone and Nicholas Broten.

[edit] Live performances
Their live performances have included several motifs:
- Simon at the front of the stage playing a unfeasibly small Casio keyboard mounted on a large light-box with a picture of a cute panda on it. Sometimes he climbs on top of the light-box and shouts.
- Simon re-inventing the songs, apparently ad hoc, through contemporary changes to the lyrics and "beatboxing".
- Simon wearing a woolly hat with ears resembling a panda.
- between song banter, either between the band or to the audience.
- packs of biscuits being passed to the audience to share.
- lovely boys taking off their shirts and dancing skins.
- the conga
- bum bouncing in the audience
