OhKeePa ~~ Mixed bands CD Idea...

Old Kee Pa Feedback
#1

Clete,
Has anyone ever thought of making a OKP CD? I mean like take 2-3 tracks from some of the ‘house’ bands we have here… They would need to DONATE their respective tune or two, but hell it would be for the OKP…You know you’re band could be track#1 and so on…

I would be more than happy to help with this. But as I see it we have so many talented peeps here, that a compilation type cd, for the OKP is needed…

I have many thoughts in my head, but no real avenue yet formed for which to travel… Thoughts?

Good or bad… :wink:

I hope this was not already thought of and I am onto something, not just on something…

Nice idea.

#3

Thank you… Any thoughts on the logistcs of this? Or do you think most bands would be up for the CD?.. I hope nobody takes this and gets mad, but we have so much talent FLOATING in this phamily, why not make an Official OhKeePa CD and have it for life…

I have been thinking of this, and I am not sure if this is in the right spot, but I am sure someone will direct it/me…

Thanks!!!

A long time ago when we were a baby board, Icculus suggested something of the sort, but nothing ever came of it. I really like the idea. In the liner notes, we could have booking and contact info for all the groups. For one, it’s great promotion for all involved. For two, it would be a great resource if any of the bands are trying to set up a tour. You know- like if my band was going to be passing through or near your city, we could try to set up a joint show. One of the hardest things about being a small band and trying to tour is that nobody outside a hundred mile radius of your home base usually knows what you’re all about. It’s hard as hell to get people to come out.

We’d need someone with access to all the appropriate gear/software… and the time/patience/willingness to put it all together.

Then we’d need a deadline for submission… preferably a few months out, because we’re going to be recording within the next month or so.

I have some ability, and would really be interested in helping. Rasta, I have your tunes downloaded BTW, ROCK solid… You could very easily get some peeps in the Twin Cities…

I am looking into the needs for making a cd on a smaller cheap end, and the liner notes is also a great IDEA!!

Keep 'em coming!!!

Peace!

Nice… currently, we can’t travel anywhere that won’t allow us to come home that night, because our guitarist has a baby boy at home. Family first, you know? We have one or two more shows in the next month and then we’re going to disappear into the practice room for a couple of months. Hopefully when we come out we’ll have a couple more hours of material.

Other ideas… hmm… maybe we could have some members who do visual art (neck?) do something for the cover?

Getting really crazy here… What if someone who does electronic music were to put together interludes between all the songs? Each one would be between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and would serve as segues between all the songs by all the different bands? That would have to be phase two of the project, because they’d have to have all the songs already, but wouldn’t it be badass if the music never stopped for the whole disc?

We have the makings of a GREAT IDEA here… Yelled at by wife to eat, I’ll keep thinking & get back here later…

Damn wives…lol

We made a CD a few years ago on a Beatles message board that I’m on. It was a big hit there, several people bought it.

I like the idea of doing this with the Oh Kee Pa crowd though, a lot of good music to be heard on one disc.

#9

Good, we (I) will help move forward best as we can to make this work. I am awaiting IANs’ approval and any logistics he might have.

Rasta had a bunch of great Ideas, and with the talent in this home…it would rock!!!

I will be looking into it all this week…

#10

Nice ICC… I am working on a synopsis of what we might need…

Thank you!!!

#11

I’d buy it. :slight_smile:

I’ll help out if needed as well.

#12

id be more than happy to do artwork for teh_project…

if this comes to fruition let “I” know…

#13

First off, let me say I’m so sorry for not replying here quicker. I haven’t had a chance to properly check the board for days and coming back to this is a great surprise! This sounds like a fantastic idea phishinsky, I’d be more than happy to put some Sixela on there and would love to hear a collection of all the OKP’s bands and artists. Like Glenn said, we’ll have some “proper” stuff later this year. Glenn, I will know next week which dates are good for us as Jon is coming back from Leeds for a few days. I will let you know as soon as I do… I must call that guy at the studio back soon too.

Also phishinsky, I saw you mention that you have some lake front property for an OKP fest. We’d love to do that. I say let’s make it happen!

:smiley:

#14

We have a spot of land in southern MN, on a lake. It was an idea and hell with some momentum, maybe we make it happen…Hell yeah…We could seriously try…

The CD thing is so on though… I will continue to work on the needs and a List…

Tahnks!

#15

Hmm, in the far south metro… Might have to look into that… I wonder…??? Never had this thought before you know…

#16

I am pumped for this! I’d love to play at our own fest!

#17

I would buy an oh kee pa cd anytime!

#18

Good we WILL work our way towards one…

#19

Awesome! I agree with Icc that August would be a good target date for submissions. OCJ will definately have some proper recordings by then. I’m excited for this!

#20

hells yes!! great idea, Fancy Bastard will contribute…

hopefully we have some studio recordings by august, if not i’ll be pissed. although we also have plenty of live recordings that have pretty damn good sound.

as far as the OKP festie goes, that would obviously take a little more work!! ryan, is this land of yours pretty secluded, or would we have noise-violation trouble do you think???
