Happy Halloween

Sunday, October 31st, 2004

Happy Holloween! We are going to try to record a few new things this week. So hopefully we will have some more tracks to listen to next week. Thanks for all the input and help we have been receiving from everyone, things seem to really be moving along. As many of you know we are taking this month to work on new material and continue experimenting and testing our sound. So you can look forward to some new samples on the web with in the next weeks.

Have you heard Thelonious Monks CD “UNDERGROUND”, extremely worth while.

And for some old news: on October 17th I had the pleasure of sitting in with DANGERMEN, for a not so pleasent reason. Arnoudt Pieters drummer from the Cords and Telefunk from Deventer(NL) who recently passed away was remebered on the fall day at the Burgerweeshuis in Deventer. DANGERMEN is presented on the ‘Songs for the Silver Surfer’ CD A tribute to Arnoudt Pieters, along with Bettie Serveert, Willard Grant Conspiracy and many more, and you can get it at Plato and other music stores. For more information check out VPRO. Proceeds from the album go to Arnoudts wife Simone and children.

A BIG What’s up

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

Whew, still smileing from last Saturday, I was having NYC flashbacks at the Boogje 1. The best atmosphere and good vibes, I can’t wait to go back and just hang out. It’s like being in the basement of Vera and CBGB’s at the same time, right here in Rotterdam!.

Well our next publicized show is at Dizzy’s, however we will be playing incognito at various venues in Holland in order avoid the anti-Ska-Jazz-mafia that has been attempting to stop us from spreading love, peace and good music. Programmers be warned: Booking Ollie Q could be the best risk you take this year.

New additions to the web:

We have a few photos from the Boogje 1 and the Podium check it out.

Also a 2 minute video from a crappy panasonic. A bit of jamming on tape at the Boogje. I have not had a chance to convert it to a more standard format (not sure what is standard with all the codecs these days), so the format is windows media (wmv). Which means you need Windows media player or a compatable viewer. check it out.
I hear Mac users are having problem viewing these file, sorry we are working on the problem.

In the new year we will begin Ollie Q’s newsletter which you can NOW sign up to receive. This is no junk mail newsletter, you will receive maximum 4 messages a year, so go sign up.

Creepy sounds

Wednesday, October 13th, 2004

Music is here!, Creepy sounds from the practice room just like you like it, goto the music section now. Have a listen and feel free to send you comments to ollie(at)OllieQ.com

Engines are warm

Friday, October 8th, 2004

Music is coming!, we are in the studio for the first single. After a push in the right direction by unseen forces we will be putting some sounds to disc next week! The universe smiles upon us.

As with everything the Deep Six does we can’t stop there, we are planning to record alot and play alot, so we need some help from a digital sound junkie.

Since we plan to make a lot of recordings we are looking for a single person who can mix and master tracks, you will receive the wavs or aiff on CD which you will then mix and master with your own equipment and return to us. There are benifits to be received if you have the equipment, knowledge and artistry to do this task.

Enjoyment of Ska, Jazz and other forms of “Horn-y” music is a must, and bit of experience is also helpful;).

For detailed information contact Ollie(at)OllieQ.com.

Open the gates

Friday, October 1st, 2004

Yee haw, the CIRCEL update has already happened and i just saw “Dukes of Hazards” last night, which means things are going better then expected. The site is online but still evolving. Some people say that the color in the top links don’t match the background, we are trying to get that in order.

Anyways since you did not see the site yesterday, i will answer again what you asked:

“Who the hell is Ollie Q and the Deep Six? Is it some sort of spontaneous combustion?”
Well, How nice of you to ask again, No Ollie Q is not a sort of spontaneous combustion, it is a combustion catalyst among other things.

“Can i tell my mom about Ollie Q?”
You can tell your mom but we are not responsible for the repercussions and no we will not take you in if you have to leave home because of it.

“Really then,… what the hell is Ollie Q and the Deep?”
“Deep Six ” you mean, Oh patience my friend, first you must come and “wash and wax” our bus, before you can really understand … wax on, wax off. Years of suffering must be endured to understand an Ollie.

But let me explain, i mean, make an attempt to explain it to you once again.
Ollie Q and the Deep Six is a group of 6 very unique individuals who have created and destroyed a many a good group on their own individual right. The “Despicable 5″ fell..read more
