About Me

Vox Pop was formed in 1989 by three former members of the Rubinoos. Guitarist Tommy Dunbar had written a bunch of great new songs and together with Al Chan, Donn Spindt, Royse Ader, and Alexi Karlinski they went into San Francisco's Coast Recorders with studio master Dan Alexander to record a few demos. Somewhere along the line former Psycotic Pineapple member John Seabury replaced Alan Whitman, who replaced Royse Ader on bass. With a bit of help and generosity from good friend Marty Rudnick, they came out with an album's worth of pop-ilicious tunes."Trust" is written by Tommy and pop genius Kyle Vincent. Kyle's version can be found on the recent release of his CD "Trust". "Ink and Paper" was recorded by Modern English and picked as a single. Yow!We have a couple of videos up now. Ringo-a-Go-Go is a tribute to the great Mr. Richard Starkey. "Saturday Morning Cartoons" is a live perfomance from December 1989 on Dick Bright's afternoon television show "Cartoon Classics". The guest dancers on the show are the cub scouts!
