LYLE: That's LYLE

OOLYAKOO had a great set at Rusty's Surf Ranch on 2/18 and I've uploaded the entire performance to my YouTube channel:  www.youtube.com/merkusalkus

We made it through the first round of the 9th Annual "Battle of the Bands" and will be returning on April 1 @ 8 PM.  If you live in the area, please come out and have a little fun with us.

I'm also waiting for confirmation, but it is very likely we will be playing at Club Good Hurt on 3/12.  I will post the info when it's written in pen.

I’m simply amazed that the first month of this year is already behind us.  There is so much I want to accomplish and even more that I have to do… & if it’s going to continue at this pace, or more quickly for that matter, I don’t know where I’m going to find the time.  OOLYAKOO has been in and out of the studio putting together our upcoming release “GRATES’HITS” and I’m chomping at the bit for a finished product by Spring.  I may be in denial, but it has gotten me this far.  Worse to worse, I’ll put out a teaser track in a couple of months.

We will be returning to RUSTY’S SURF RANCH on February 18^th to participate in their 9^th Annual Battle of the Bands.  Although I don’t consider us to be “competitive” musicians, we would never turn down a 30-minute set… especially at a place we like to play.  It’s a Thursday night at 9:30, so skip work Friday and hang out on Santa Monica Pier for a bit.  There’s no cover, so you only have to pay for parking and food… and beer.

I’ve been editing and uploading performances by various incarnations of SHAFT & MUZZLELOADER… the CLUB GOOD HURT show by OOLYAKOO… and will be adding more OOLYAKOO… acoustic MUZZLELOADER… some BLAUDO…

I am proud of the music and antics in every take.  This is my music career.

I have performed a lot of shows in my life. Several of those shows exist on video. Though often there were not many people in attendance, I'm happy to be able to share these shows with anybody on the internet that cares to watch them. Welcome to my LIVE shows, from past to present, with the bands SHAFT, MUZZLELOADER, BLAUDO, OOLYAKOO... possibly even some CAST OF SHADOWS (the early '90's OK version)...
