Episode 26 – Dr. Pants (4/17/2011)

May 28, 2011 //

This Oklahoma City-based band puts its pants on every morning like everyone else, with the help of a doctor.

Not really, but we just wanted to give you an idea of the silliness involved with Dr. Pants.

Frontman David Broyles falls somewhere between Weezer’s River Cuomo and Weird Al, which means you’re going to have some trouble getting his songs out of your head.

Enjoy “Hipster Kids/Sexy Beards” and if you want more Dr. Pants then check them out live.

They are releasing an EP with this song on it June 4.

Here are all the concert details.

Check back later this month for an episode from Stillwater’s Other Lives.

Here’s Dr. Pants’ VDub Session on Vimeo if that’s your thing.

Episode 24 – Kris Kanaly (4/8/2011)

May 10, 2011 //

Oklahoma City-based artist Kris Kanaly hopped into the Spy Van and crafted an original piece of art during Live on the Plaza last month.

Kanaly has a really interesting family history. His family owned an art gallery for almost 100 years.

And all of that happened in Oklahoma (it unfortunately closed last year).

We met up with Kanaly inside DNA Gallery and had Derek and Kurt of The Pretty Black Chains help out with some original music for an interview. Kanlay talked about his interest in street art and growing up with skater culture.

If you aren’t doing anything Friday then come out to the latest Live on the Plaza for a lot of free music and fun.

Update:

Kris Kanaly is responsible for painting the outside of Wayne Coyne’s new art gallery.

Episode 22 – Eisley (4/15/2011)

April 19, 2011 //

This episode marks the second band not from Oklahoma, but we were glad to share the VDub love with Eisley.

The Texas-based rockers released its latest album, “The Valley,” in March.

We aren’t the only people who dig the band’s new songs.

SPIN had a stream of the new album and NPR made the title track Song of the Day.

But let’s let the above video do the talking.

Enjoy.

Episode 19 – Silje Nes (3/9/2011)

March 23, 2011 //

The VDub Sessions crew tried something new with this episode.

Instead of our usual hyper-local focus, we invited a non-local band to perform on the show.

We went big.

Silje Nes (pronounced Seal-lia) not only isn’t from Oklahoma but also she’s not from this country.

Regardless, the Norwegian singer/songwriter blew us away just a few hours before her headlining gig at The Conservatory.

Let us know what you think.

Episode 14 – Ruth Ann Borum-Loveland (1/14/2011)

February 7, 2011 //

Welcome to a new type of VDub Sessions.

Because the Spy Van pays a visit to Live on the Plaza every month, we thought it would be a good idea to put the van to good use.

Every month we are featuring an interview with an Oklahoma artist while he or she sketches an original creation.

Ruth Ann Borum-Loveland is our first artist and Derek Knowlton is provides original music for the session.

You might know Knowlton from as the co-owner of the Plaza District business Warpaint Clothing and the guitarist for The Pretty Black Chains.

We met up with Ruth at DNAgalleries.

Let us know what you think of the new sessions and there are plenty more music sessions on the way.
