BayAreaOpenMics.com Review of One On One July 11, 2009

One On One made it over to Bay Street Coffee for their Friday Night Open Mic last week. It was great to finally meet Sean Lightholder and his wife Kim, the ones who are responsible for the BayAreaOpenMics.com website (the best of the open mic sites I’ve seen). Here’s what they said about us on their blog:
I gotta say that Sam Rogers from, actually I should say, who is, the One Mouth Band showed up with Nicolle, his new cohort in vocal acrobatics, and the two of them blew the room away with performances like this one. Sam is awesome solo, but acting as a supporting one-mouth-band to a vocalist like Nicolle is truly something remarkable, as you can hear. The band has just set up their own myspace page, and posted the second recording from the night I made up there.
As Nicolle and I enjoyed the range of stellar performances and the full-house audience of about 80 people, we doodled band logos and drafted marketing plans. We make a great team, and I think we’re shaping up to really have something! Nicolle set up Myspace and Facebook accounts, both of which have the recording shown here.
What really, really sucks July 6, 2009
Posted by onemouthband in : Notes to Self, Randomnimity , comments closedYou know what sucks?
When your backpack is stolen while helping a newly-disabled friend up stairs and into his apartment.
You know what really sucks?
When your wallet, checkbooks, videocamera, notebook, personal affects, 17″ MacBook Pro computer AND the most recent backup of that computer are also in that backpack.
You know what really, really sucks?
When a month’s worth of billable work disappears, a year’s worth of musical ideas are lost forever, you have to cancel all your credit cards, change your bank accounts, flag your social security number, monitor your credit, buy a new computer and it turns out that is stolen too, file police reports, etc.
Well, that’s the kind of sucky week I had last week. And I think it will continue to suck for some time.
On the bright side, I had some of my CDs in the bag too, so at least my music is getting out there…
