Home Recording Studio Put To Work.

                                                Home Recording Studio Put To Work.            
The Oompah Roundabout are back in their home recording studio working on two new songs!
Wanting to increase their output speed and get not only their back log material recorded, but also new songs that they write out as well.
The boys have also been busy doing some work to the live room of their home recording studio (gap central recording studio) in an effort to add more "reflection" to the sound the room produces.
Also the live room has been reorganised to create a bigger drum area for Windy Wobble, and giving the boys easier access for mic placement, as the boys love old school recording using accoustic drums and real instruments.
The Oompah Roundabout are 100% indie and have their own label (gonad records) for the release of their material.
They also produce their own film clips and call their production company Halfanacker films, named after an indoor cricket accident that Hormone Howe had some years ago.
( Nacker is "Australian slang" for Testical )
( Gonad is "English and Australian" slang, also for Testical )
The Oompah Roundabout currently have 3 singles out.
All 3 singles are available for download at all download sites including,

The Oompahs 3rd Single is out.

                                                     The Ompahs 3rd Single is Out.
The Oompah Roundabouts 3rd single is out! The song is called "Holiday", It's a fast paced song about, you guessed it! Going away on a "Holiday". Recorded in thier Home studio "Gap central recording studio". When the sessions started and then progressed to doing the vocals, It became apparent to Hormone that they had recorded it in the wrong key! He couldn't hit the notes as it was far to HIGH!
After haveing a good laugh over it and saying " You wrote it and you couldn't remember what key it was in" The boys rerecorded it, this time in the correct key and finished the whole song in one session.
It's available at cdbaby.com for download now and will be available at all the other  download sites by the end of next week! The Oomps assure me the video should be up by mid april. So support a trully 100% indie band with no million dollar contract! They do it all themselves, Recording,Video making! 
This is the link to their cdbaby page. Oh and they told me to say thanks for all the support and also for all the utube views,  Oompah!! :):)

Los Hermanos

                                                                    Los Hermanos.

Los Hermanos is a rock band from Rio de JaneiroBrazil. The group was formed in 1997 by Marcelo Camelo (vocals/guitar), Rodrigo Amarante(flute/guitar/vocals), Rodrigo Barba (drums), and Bruno Medina (keyboards/keyboard bass). Currently they are on an extended hiatus.

Although the band is Brazilian, the name is Spanish for "the brothers", which would be "Os Irmãos" in Portuguese.

They recorded two demos that eventually found their way into the hands of Paulo André, the producer of the Abril Pro Rock festival, in Recife. The band was then invited to perform on one of the biggest alternative music festivals in Brazil, the Superdemo. Their self-titled album, released in 1999, became a huge seller on the back of the hit single "Anna Júlia". The success of "Anna Júlia", in a general sense, overshadowed the rest of their career, leading some to think they are a one-hit wonder, despite experiencing success among fans and music enthusiasts with other works. The song has been covered by many different artists, including Jim Capaldi with George Harrison.

After the success of their first album, in 2001 the band released Bloco do Eu Sozinho, leaving behind the hardcore sound that highlighted their debut to a mix of rock, samba, and other Brazilian rhythms. Bloco do Eu Sozinho did not make much of an impact in the mainstream media (it had only two hits, "Todo Carnaval Tem Seu Fim" and "Sentimental"), but it is still regarded as one of the best Brazilian rock albums of all time.

The follow-up to Bloco do Eu SozinhoVentura, was released in 2003, and the band's sound was even more influenced by samba,choro and bossa nova. Although these albums weren't as commercially successful as Los Hermanos, they were acclaimed by critics and generated a strong cult following which propelled the band to be regarded as one of the defining alternative rock acts in Brazil, mainly because of their elaborate lyrics and their mixture of Brazilian rhythms with rock. In 2008, both Bloco do Eu Sozinho andVentura figured in Rolling Stone magazine's list The Top 100 Brazilian Albums of All Time, placing 42nd and 68th, respectively.

Their most recent record, simply titled 4, was released in August 2005, to mixed reviews. The record led the band into MPB rhythms with more melancholic lyrics and melody.

In 2006 the band toured Portugal for the second time and Spain with Portuguese band Toranja.

On April 23, 2007, after ten years of uninterrupted career work, the band announced a recess for undetermined time span (hiatus). The note on the official website affirms there were no quarrels whatsoever among the band members, the reason for the recess simply being each one's need of time to dedicate to other personal activities. On the same note the band also announced its three final performances on June 7, 8 and 9th in Rio de Janeiro.

In 2009, Los Hermanos played at "Just a Fest" festival at São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, along with Kraftwerk and Radiohead. But, according to Bruno Medina these two concerts don't mean the band will record an album soon.

In 2010 they played in the SWU Music & Arts Festival and four additional gigs but no one clue to a future reunion or a new album.

    The Dave CLark Five, PT1...t

                                                                 The Dave Clark Five, PT1

    The Dave Clark Five (also known as "The DC5") were an English pop rock group. Their single "Glad All Over" knocked the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" off the top of theUK singles charts in January 1964: it peaked at number 6 in the United States in April 1964.

    They were the second group of the British Invasion on The Ed Sullivan Show, appearing in March for two weeks after the Beatles appeared three straight weeks in February 1964. For some time the Dave Clark Five were more popular in the US than in their native UK, but had a renaissance in the UK between 1967 and 1970. The group disbanded in late 1970. On 10 March 2008, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
