A girl's gotta make sure her hat is on correctly!
Local singer/songwriter/pianist/soulsista Oona Garthwaite was featured on "So You Think You Can Dance" last week with her song "Tore My Heart." Kelsea Taylor used this tune for her Lyrical Contemporary audition and called a "beautifully disaterous weirdo" and "slightly crazy" by judges.
Oona says on her iLike blog:
dear new friends,
thanks to the SYTYCD appearance, we've received a veritable onslaught of friend requests and new fans on myspace and facebook, twitter, ourstage, ilike...
i would like to thank each and all of you for listening to our music! we love making it, and sharing it with you is a real honor.
so if a tree falls in a forest and no one's there to hear it, does it still get broadcast on a network reality show? you betcha :) one. lucky. tree.
Oona is no stranger to being a featured artists on "So You Think You Can Dance" as her tune "Haunting Me" was featured on the show last season. The dancer Twitch (sadly not available on youtube anymore) performed one of the coolest lock and pop routines I've ever seen.
Check out the footage from last weeks show! Kelsea has advanced to the next phase of the show in Las Vegas.
See Oona and her band perform in San Francisco in the next month:
June 20th, 2009 BMF3 = Bicycle Music Festival 3:00 PM
June 27th, 2009 Cafe du Nord 8:00 PM
