Ryan Hendrix of Colourmusic came on the show recently & gave us some insight to the new record in the works & the new direction they're taking with their sound (or colour...). When one of my friends first introduced me to Ryan, he said, "He's kind of a philosopher," and I have to agree. I've never been bored talking with him (but how could you be uninterested in a man wearing a cat sweatshirt and bright blue pants, ?)

Listen below for Ryan's thoughts on the growth of Oklahoma talent over the past few years, the outrageous prices of vending machine food & more.

Colourmusic & The Uglysuit are playing together at The Opolis in Norman TONIGHT!
So what are you doing?
Run, children!
Join the magic...!

The Uglysuit -- September 24, 2009

My fourth guests of the semester were The Uglysuit. Here's what you should know about The Uglysuit:

1. They make beautifully happy music. It's like drinking a mango smoothie with your sunglasses on in a parking lot on a perfect day.

2. If you like resting on another level in your meantimes, take their music with you, and it will take you to a place where there is neither gravity nor evil.

3. You wanna know where the wild things are? Probably hiding in this band's hair.

Here's the rest of the interview, which includes the guys talking about playing CMJ last year, and being invited again this year. They'll play the festival in NYC next week in the midst of touring.

The next Uglysuit show in Oklahoma will be Halloween at the 51st Street Speakeasy in OKC.
