OOSoul soothes audience with sound

OOSoul's funky, punky retro meets modern
style of play filled the air space Tuesday at the University Student Union
South Plaza.
The sound, a plethora of '70s style funk
similar to the soundtrack to Shaft, kept about 35 people entertained in
a crowd of around 100.
OOSoul not only played funky stuff, but
mixed in a groove of near old-fashioned rock 'n roll.When the band shifted
from their funk or rock to a more R & B sound, the 35 moved on and
were fluidly replaced by another 35 or so people.
Their mix of tunes allowed for a continuous
rotation of people, pleasing someone all the time.
"It's loud, but itís good enough to be
loud," said Tiffany Spears an undeclared freshman.
It was apparent that the band was a tad
different from other bands. Each member had their own style.
While one member dressed in button down
casual, another member sported a T-shirt and shorts with a hat.
The sight of them was a hint of the type
of music they specialized in, which seemed to be any type -- with a thread
of funk thrown in.
OOSoul's style was a great mix, and in
that, they served something for everyone.
Their ability to interweave a retro-funk
style sound in a rock patterned piece was incredible. |
