Sweet tunes...

Got a little update the other day, and thought I should clue y'all in to a band that should be on your radar:

OSO CLOSO

Hailing from the Texas side of things, Oso Closo combines the essence of well wrought piano rock with elements of old soul, early Ben Harper, and a funkalicious jive that makes for an irresistable moment of head bob along the way. Here are some comments by some greater linguists than I.

“Oso Closo is remarkable. These people can write, arrange, sing and play in a league that only a few get to - with a lot of hard work and talent... Their skills blow me away. I especially like the sound of Adrian's voice and how the guitars can sometimes go off into the land of Brian May from 'Queen.' It's all kind of a mind blower. Check 'em out.”-Jim Heath, aka The Reverend Horton Heat"

A very original rock band with insanely good musicians ...intelligent songwriting... soulful vocals; lots of rock; incredible guitar playing..."-Bryce Avary (The Rocket Summer)

“Oso Closo proves that everything really is bigger in Texas. Their lush string arrangements and massive guitar solos are almost as big as burly front man Adrian Hulet's beard... They are able to tastefully meld the piano singer-songwriter and indie-rock string section with face-melting Guitar Hero extravagance."-NPR's Open Mic, August 6, 2007

That's some pretty dope street cred, ya hear? So check it out; Oso is coming to a venue near you on their Fall 2009 Tour
