Sunday, 20 January 2008 |
London based band ‘The OTT Band’ was put together in 2004 by tony mcgarrett as a vehicle for his songs. He has worked over the past 3 years with producer Pete Ardron to create a sound that blends reggae, dub, ska, northern soul and Latin elements with a touch of 80’s pop – songs that have energy and atmosphere, with big instrumental and vocal arrangements. These are mostly feel-good songs which generally try not to take themselves too seriously.
The band has played as anything from an 8-piece to a 15-piece – a regular core joined by guests and session musicians to augment the line-up. The biggest gig to date was in front of 25,000 people at London’s Carnaval del Pueblo, August ‘05 – the video of which was seen in 22 countries.
The OTT Band has as yet released nothing for public sale but has been getting substantial airplay around the UK on college radio, and their song "Don't Know" was downloaded over 12,500 times last Christmas with no PR or publicity what so ever, and reached number 2 rock and pop charts on mp3.com , and was only held off the number 1 spot by a A list established band with full pr back up.
ps there is a video of ottband on utube site simply search ottband on the site thank you tony mcgarrett |

Release:
"Visionary"
fast and upbeat with electronic overtones, blends with a fusion/pop/punk sound to bring out an entirely new classification of music!
New is better, and originality counts in times when everything sounds like something else. Why sound like somebody else? It's been done! This band has originality and flair, the vocals have presence and power, and the arrangement is laid out like a seven course dinner source london news
................................................................................
this has a really cool groove that sounds like something I'd hear in a Tarantino movie, and that's way cool! Love the overall feel it produces. Excellent work! source mixposure.com
................................................................................
