John Baltic	Aug 14 2007 11:29 PM Hey, Guys. I posted some new videos on our downward facing dog page here. In one of them you can't see Pete or Amir at all - and that's a shame. In most of the others, there's a lamp in front of my head...

The Lost Tribe Of America	Jan 6 2007 10:05 AM Today we've posted a new song titled "My Central Memory". It is a 24 track digital studio recording done here in Topanga. It features all the main aspects of the group, in a high quality format. Synths, "captured" voices, guitars, harmonica, organ, bazuki and other instruments all play for your enjoyment, creating that trippy sound that we're known for. Let us know if you like it! Many Thanks!

Topanga Bands	Oct 21 2006 3:56 PM Howdy, I am producing another cool compilation fund-raiser CD for the Topanga Community House. And your music might be right for this project. But I can't even consider your music, if I don't have one of your CDs. This is a collection of local Topanga bands, so at least one member of your group needs to be currently living in Topanga, to be considered for this CD. Can you PLEASE send me your CD to my POBox 1421, Topanga, CA. 90290, so that I can see if its right for this project. No one is gonna get paid for this fund raiser, including me, but it is for a worthy cause! Its going to be a fun, up-beat, dancey collection of local bands from Topanga. The earlier one I produced: "Topanga, Music Of The Mountains" was filled with 18 ballads and mellow tunes, and sold over 700 copies so far, raised over $7,000, and gave all those artists great exposure for them and their music & websites, and is still available at Mimosas, Topanga HomeGrown, Hela Bela, and other locations around town. Please write me back, and let me know when you're sending it to me, or contact me and I'll give you my home directions so you can drop off a disc (and save $ on mailing it to me). Your pal, Gayle -3445 PS: Do you know any other cool Topanga groups that I should contact? ...
