We also featured 5 of Tulsa’s most notable bands: The Televised, Ghosts, Broncho, Fiawna Forte and La Panther Happens. I want to thank every one of these bands for participating; it was really great and the music was amazing! Instead of regaling you with tales of awesomeness, I’d rather show you. Our photographers from The Tulsa Project worked hard all night to capture the moment, and it would be a shame not to show these pictures to the world. Without further ado…

See you there!

Well, it’s been a little slow around here thanks to the Ice-pocalypse: 2010. It is a widely known fact that the Tulsan does not function well in ice and snow. However, more than 2 days cooped up in the house makes us hungry for action! This coming weekend will cure your cabin fever.

On Saturday February 6th, we at The Tulsa Project are launching this blog with a bang. La Panther Happens, Fiawna Forte, BRONCHO, Ghosts and The Televised will rock the house at The Eclipse. We will melt the snow with the heat from the amps!

Music will start promptly at 9pm, the cover is $5 and all proceeds go to the MDA. Also, local artists such as Chris Mantle, Stephanie Jones and Chandra Hall have donated work, so if you buy a piece, that money goes to MDA as well. Full bar, but only 21+!

We are ushering in a new era of music in Tulsa, where original music and ideas are celebrated. Come help us kick it off!

We are throwing a party to ofiicially launch this blog! Here is the info…

This show is going to be great! I will tell you a little about the bands:

Fiawna Forte–There are literally no words. Fiawna is a whirlwind femme-fatale who will steal your heart (and maybe your drink when you’re not looking). As Fiawna sings, the entire crowd formulates an “I want to date a musician, marry him/her and have babies and a white picket fence” fantasy. Well, see for yourself…

I’ve already done posts on Ghosts and La Panther Happens, so I want to tell you about The Televised. If I had to come up with a close comparison of genres, I have to say pop-punk. But ‘pop-punk’ sets off certain alarms in your head. Don’t be afraid. There are so many more sub-genres involved in what The Televised do. I’m talking singer-songwriter, ska, mariachi…how does it work, you ask? Seamlessly. I don’t know how a magician does his tricks, and frankly, I don’t want to know. I just want to be spellbound. That is what The Televised does, they spellbind you.

Coincidentally, you can catch them tonight at The Soundpony! 409 N. Main. I think they’re the only band on the schedule tonight, so you can savor it.

Thats all for me today, see you tonight and this weekend! Dont forget to check my show calendar for great shows you might not hear about anywhere else…
