Blue Chameleon

Hailing from the barrios of the Eastside hillsides of Los Angeles, the Dusty Modestos keep the fog rolling in with a blend of outer-spaced, high-deserted, and urban tales peppered with minor and seventh chorded harmonies, impressionistic imagery, and improvisational verve... As some have remarked, 'This is Ethereal, Close-Your-Eyes-And Float-Towards-The-Sun Music. Layered. Textured. Airy. Imaginative. Ambitious. Existential. And Wildly Amusing.' 

Be warned! You just might find yourself bobbing your head and swaying with the groove along the journey, a wide grin breaking across your face...

The songs of the Modestos' debut EP, 'Folds in Space-Time,' are the culmination of more than a decade of songcrafting and musical collaboration. Many of the songs have roots in the time period and moods stretching from the end of the Era of Prosperity in the 1990s through the rapid societal and economic devolution of the Lost Decade that followed.  

Ultimately, the stories contained in our songs are ones of solitude, desolation, alienation, misguidance, malfeasance, perseverance, adventure, rolling hills and rocky peaks, wind-blown landscapes, wine-soaked evenings, nocturnal revelry, chicanery of ne'er-do-wells in the dark back alleys of forgotten downtowns, of urban survival and urban thrival, of posers, fakers, swindlers, and players, of artists, of spy-fi, of pop icons, of a time that has passed but may some day return, of a brilliant, multi-cultural, multi-generational, multi-dimensional tribe energized to change the world. Of positivity, of the will and tenacity to dream and endure and transcend conventional malaise, apathy, and discouragement. Of Earnesty, Hope, and Endless Possibilities...
