What's new with us
O-Tones' song on National TV!Our song "Spring Cleaning" (from our CD "Ain't That a Kick") was on the Today Show on March 14, 2008! A special on spring cleaning starts off with The O-Tones song to kick off the tips for getting ready for the new season (including ketchup, coffee beans, and vanilla!).
The O-Tones now have a MySpace area at www.myspace.com/theotones. Please check out our song files and video plus info and links to other cool musicians! Also, check us out at GigMasters! And here's a video of the O-Tones playin for dancing—what a variety of styles on the floor!
The O-Tones hit British TV! The TV programme It's Me Or The Dog will use our song "Spring Cleaning" (from our first CD, Ain't That a Kick). With 10 years dog training experience, Victoria Stilwell takes on some of the toughest, most disobedient dogs in the UK using her training techniques to create the perfect pooch. The series is made up of 12 episodes each focusing on a different dog. In this particular episode and scene, the owners are clearing up the mess that their two dogs have made. The show will be on British TV plus Animal Planet in the USA.
The O-Tones named "best swing band" in the valley (Pioneer Valley of MA) numerous times! Voted by listeners in the Valley Advocatešs Grand Band Slam.
Two O-Tones' songs included on Oasis Jazz Samplers! Oasis Manufacturing pressed both CD's by The O-Tones. Every year they assemble and distribute compilation CD's in various genres. The O-Tones were included twice thus far on the jazz compilations: 2000 "Just Squeeze Me" from "Ain't That a Kick" and 2006 "Come Dance With Me" From "Dance With Me" by Mary Witt, including all members of The O-Tones.
