IndianGiver — Plafond EP

If you were to peruse the “About” section of IndianGiver’s Facebook page, you’ll notice how the instruments attributed to each of the Oklahoma City band’s five members are described with downright flippancy: Dylan Jordan plays “sticks & animal skins,” while Jazzton Rodriguez earns his keep with “shanties & loud noises,” and so on.

Fans of the comedy classic Friday may recognize the name Big Worm, but the Big Worm behind Bench All-Stars is rooted not in South Central L.A., but on the streets of Oklahoma City.

Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

Grupo Montéz de Durango's Mexico-by-way-of-Chicago music comes to OKC

Gazette staff May 24th, 2011  

Although Grupo Montéz de Durango forges a heavy-percussion sound influenced by traditional Mexican music, the multi-member act is based in Chicago.

On Sunday, it brings its unique music from the Windy City to our often windier one, for a 6 p.m. concert at Frontier City, 11501 Northeast Expressway.

Together since 1997, the band has twice as many albums and three times as many singles than it does members. Its most recent LP debuted at the top of the Mexican music charts.

As with Frontier City’s other forthcoming summer concerts, the show is free with park admission.
