Make sure to check back tomorrow for a brand new episode with Seattle-based band Night Beats.
Oklahoma Cloud Factory is difficult band to pin down.
Before the fivesome hopped into the van, their sunny disposition was contagious and welcomed. However, their track “Harvest Season” forecasted a darker mood hinted with loneliness and mistrust. It plays out like a folk tinged break up song.
But like all Oklahoma weather, the song doesn’t stay the same for too long and twists in a new direction. We really enjoyed OCF’s original song and its take on Sugar Ray is legendary. LEGENDARY we say.
We can’t wait to hear more from them.
Last month’s Live on the Plaza introduced us to tattoo/fine artist Josh Reynolds.
The avid Adult Swim fan and devoted father spoke to us about how painting informed his growth as a popular tattoo artist in Oklahoma City. Don’t forget to make it out to Live on the Plaza this Friday. It should be a barrel and a half of good times.
A special thanks to Ryan Parker for lending us his excellent track, “Feel.”
Check back tomorrow to see how tattoo artist Kyle Reynolds created this while riding in the Spy Van during last month’s Live on the Plaza. He has plenty to say about balancing artwork and his full-time tattoo job. We still can’t believe he drew this in a moving vehicle.
Here’s a brand new track from Norman singer/songwriter John Calvin. He didn’t fly solo though. We were lucky enough to welcome Camille Harp and VDub alumni Jordan Herrera.
Don’t forget you can catch John playing an acoustic set at Norman Music Festival 6. It’s inside Opolis at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. See you there.
Swing back Wednesday to see a brand new episode with part-time swimsuit model and full-time Okie singer/songwriter John Calvin.
As Dana Falconberry and company made their way to Austin, they were nice enough to share a song with us in the Spy Van.
There’s something magical about Falconberry’s music. Even when a sneeze interrupted “Snail Shells,” it doesn’t take but a few seconds for you to get drawn back into the song’s simple beauty.
Make sure to check back next week for an artist session with Okie Josh Reynolds.
Make sure to come back Wednesday for a new episode with Austin-based artist Dana Facolnberry.
We witnessed a softer side to the rowdy punk explosion known as Broncho. Watch as Ryan Lindsey take the lead on a song that normally incites riots in classrooms and interrupts afternoon coffee breaks.
We can’t wait for a new album from the quartet, and we hope Ben’s leg heals soon. We hope the Spy Van’s mystical healing power worked some magic.
Make sure to check back next week for a brand new episode.
Shawnee-based crooner TJ Mayes filled the Spy Van with some killer rockabilly tunes. He’s joined by Johnny Carlton on bass and Billy Earl Padgett on drums.
Make sure to catch him playing at VZD’s this Saturday with East Dallas Shufflers.
