long time no write
Whew, long time no write. Well after a nasty strain of flu that lingered on in the band for months, affecting some members more than others, we have been quite busy trying to keep breathing.
Michiel has been working on some sound for a nice dutch poem with 3d graphics as well as training and performing on-stage sound effects for Hotel Modern, an international active theatre group.
Mr. B. was doing some work and playing around with the DANGERMEN
Frank V. has been mastering the long lost art of midi programming with only the GM midi sounds. Nobody can swing midi like Frank.
Frank D. has been enslaved by the queen, “for it is he and only he who can save the deteriorating dutch youth”, which means many hours of work.
Marijn has been testing mouth pieces, learning more harmonic tunes and organizing what he can to maintain the group.
Marcel has been busy drumming and trying to come up with a solution to keep Michiels guitar part tied to his hi-hat in Monk-tiki.
Apart from those things we, “Ollie Q and the Deep Six” have been selected for the 2005 POPRONDE and from what i understand that means another Ollie Q number on compilation CD! We don’t know what shows we will get the pleasure of playing but when we do know so will you.
The recording that should have taken place months ago during our flu season will be happening as soon as the queen sets Frank D free. However the delay has allowed us to write even more material. Soo that means more mp3’s are on the way.
Pictures and maybe some audio from our recent shows in Essen and Siegen wil be online soon. Until that time take a look (click on the small photo at the right) at the great pictures Peter Kattannek took in Essen
