OROONI TO PLAY WAKARUSA
Category: Music

WAKA
We are thrilled to be announcing that yesterday Orooni was officially
invited to PERFORM AT WAKARUSA during the weekend festival in June.
This is the second summer festival invitation for Orooni (the other is
Dogstock on July 26-29). Wakarusa is one of the top annual music
festival in the country and it's artist ineup includes Widespread
Panic, MMW, Galactic, Ben Harper, and almost 80 more acts
(http://www.wakarusa.com) . We'll be back with more info but check
the festival and our websites for the latest! This is a huge honor
and the whole band is proud and excited.

HOMETOWN HEROES
Friday, March 9th, Orooni is headlining at THE AGGIE THEATRE in Fort
Collins for the first time since this summer. This is a FREE SHOW and
they will be sharing the stage with PRISM and their electronica/dance
grooves. Seeing as Allan (bass) is splitting time between both
projects, expect some serious collaborations to make for a great night
of music.

ALL UPCOMING SHOWS
Fri, March 9th AGGIE THEATRE Fort Collins, CO 9pm FREE
Fri, March 23rd LAZY DOG CAFE Boulder, CO 10pm
June 7-10 WAKARUSA MUSIC FESTIVAL Lawrence, KS
July 26-29 DOGSTOCK MUSIC FESTIVAL Melvern, KS

That is all from Orooni camp for now, but much more to come in the
near future about other regional shows and possibly more summer
action. Peace and chicken grease.

OROONI ANNOUNCEMENT

LET'S SET IT STRAIGHT...THROW IT DOWN
It has been a whirlwind past 6 months for everyone in Orooni, our fans, and our extended family across the country as the band dealt with major personal and professional issues.  However, all of the negative junk has been left behind and the band is excited to be pushing forward with a triumphant return to the stage this March and beyond!

That's right...Orooni has already confirmed one Colorado March date, one summer festival in July, and has several more shows being worked on right now for the immediate future.  More details will be following soon.

HI MY NAME IS BRAD
Orooni fans will notice something has changed about the lineup of the band as Brad Loucks has been selected to replace Gwen Grimes on keys.  Brad began jamming with Stu in their jazz side project, the Hugh Jazz Combo, and there was an instant musical bond, eventually leading to an impromptu jam session with the rest of Orooni and friends.  The band loved the flavor Brad added to the group and was asked on the spot about joining.

Brad has a diverse musical background/education that he brings to the group, really funking things up more than ever and layering more color on Orooni's progressive rock, funk, and trans-genre tunes.  Brad also brings a new positive energy to the group, as well as fresh ideas and collaborations that have already altered the bands sound in brilliant ways.  Orooni fans can look forward to a lot of new material that Brad has introduced.

SIDE PROJECTS
With time off from Orooni, Phil, Allan, and Stu have all joined side projects playing in the Front Range and more:

Stu Crair (drums) has formed 'The Hugh Jazz Combo' with Brad Loucks (as stated above), and earned a weekly residency at The Crown Pub in Ft Collins.  'The Hugh Jazz' plays EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT from 7-11pm for FREE in the basement of the Crown.  Other players include Kalin Capra (Victor Barnes) and Evan Wiegel (Funkiphino) as well as numerous special guests sitting in such as Phil (Orooni) and Charlie Humhpreys (Holy Moses and the High Rollers).  Come join some of the Fort's best musicians playing standards and jazz-fusion greats playing every Wednesday night.

Allan Borukhovich has filled the vacant bass position for Prism, another one of Fort Collins' young, talented bands.  Prism recently won the Battle of the Bands for a slot to play at Wakarusa Music Festival this summer.  All Prism shows and details can be found at www.prismfunk.com.

Finally, Phil Salvaggio (guitar) has formed a rockin side project with some old friends called 'The Foot Clan'.  TFC has several scheduled shows upcoming across the front range and be sure to come check em out.  Music and info can be found at http://www.myspace.com/footclanband.  

So, after Allan's broken wrist, a lineup change, a MySpace sabotage (story for another day), and a lot of uncertainty, Orooni can't wait to jump back on stage in the Fort this March and beyond.

We hope to see you all boogyin' down at an upcoming Orooni show very soon.

Peace and music,

Orooni

Someone sabotaged our myspace! Rejoin us!
Current mood: calm
Category: MySpace

Hi all-
Someone has deleted our MySpace info somehow and we are attempting to rebuild it.  We can pretty much narrow down who it probably was, but, taking the high road here, we are just gonna continue to build it.  So, please add us to friends again, post some comments again, whatever you see fit.

In band news, Allan is recovering from a broken wrist still and some other announcements are on their way.  In the meantime, enjoy the music on the myspace page and we'll write you soon!

1st Tour Success
Current mood: high
Category: Music

Orooni's 1st tour was a major success.  We made friends in every city we went to (well, except Indy) and had a blast spreading good music.  Special thanks to Scott at Rubys in C-Bus, Ryan and Martin in Bloomington (Roots restaurant is the shit!), the folks we met in Madison, and all the crazies who danced the night away in Chi.  We will have audio and pics up very soon...see you all at Conors on the 14th and the Aggie on the 23rd!
