People and Stars: You’re Not Alone

People and Stars “Our name was also the title of a Fonda song,” explains David Klotz, one half of People and Stars, the Los Angeles-based duo comprised of the former Fonda front man and vocalist Amanda Tate.

Long a favorite in the L.A. indie pop scene spanning nearly 20 years, when Klotz’s marriage to Fonda front woman Emily Cook came to an end in 2013, so did Fonda. “We were 95% done with another album which still sits unreleased,” says Klotz, who immediately decided he would carry on with solo work.

“‘People and Stars’ was one of my favorite songs I wrote when I was in Fonda, and it was one of the first songs I recorded, engineered and mixed completely on my own. It was a symbol of creative independence for me and I thought it would be a good name for my solo project.”

As it turns out, when Klotz began hearing the results of his collaborations with Tate, he quickly abandoned thinking of the project as a solo outing, and has now amassed nearly two albums worth of material, including the three songs that will be released as the debut People and Stars EP, arriving July 15th via Minty Fresh.
