VDub Sessions Episode #28: Other Lives

It has been difficult holding this episode back.

Seriously, our enthusiasm for this group is double that of the punky Ramones tune singer/songwriter Jesse Tabish covered in the introduction for this VDub Session.

Stillwater-based band Other Lives is easily one of the most exciting bands to develop out of Oklahoma in the past decade.

Before we got the chance to film with the quintet at Norman Music Festival, the band opened for The National at Cain’s Ballroom and was preparing for a trip to Austin. They had an opening slot for The Decemberists.

Other Lives is on tour and doing great things. You’ll see the band gracing NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert and appearing on Paste’s website.

We hope you enjoy this session as much as we did.

Jabee says “cheese” for Gazette ad

 

Check out this week’s Oklahoma Gazette ad featuring OKC rapper Jabee! We just can’t get enough of this guy. First he blew us away with one of our all-time favorite VDub Sessions and now he’s cheesing it up for this Fowler VW ad!

If you’re like us and want to see even more of Jabee, come see his show at The Conservatory on July 18!

VDub Sessions Episode #27: Mark White

Artist Mark White is like a cowbell.

He just goes well with music.

But seriously now, the Oklahoma City-based artist spent three months crafting artwork for May’s Live on the Plaza, and we’re very excited to see what he could draw for us inside of the Spy Van.
White specializes in psychedelia, so it’s no big surprise to see his artwork inside of Warpaint Clothing or gracing the cover of The Pretty Black Chains’ album “Awakening.”

We spoke to White about his passion for music and how he’s happy to team up with Chains guitarist Derek Knowlton.

Knowlton is responsible for scoring every artist VDub Session, which means you should check him out too.

Dig it.



 Oh, and here’s the super cool fanny pack that White designed for us for the LIVE on the Plaza Fanny Pack Fashion Show.
