October Babies Blog and the tag of “Show shcedule” was put up.
Yesterday, my friend, Eric Perry and I created this music video together!
All improvisations. Very thrilling video shooting!
He was saying about this as "Creative Celebration"! And I love the naming!
The song is "Cotton Candy" (obviously). One of my songs.
And here, another one!
This music is written by Rosendo E. Santos, JR. He is my father in law. Unfortunately I could not see him...
But he left many beautiful pieces in this world! So, I asked Erik to collaborate with him!
I hope you enjoy this like we did!

That was amazing event... I believe that they will have it again!
We also had a great performance! Thank you for all production people and guests!
However, I'm so sorry about the Top of The Park.
I've been really looking forward to playing there for a long time.
However, we rained out... even if many people came to see us...
Once again, I'm very sorry for all those people who came there or planed to be there...
I know that I can't stop raining... BUT I really wished to have the power at that moment...
I really HOPE that we will be able to get the chance to play there next year. So, please stay tuned!!!!!
OK, next show is "Detroit Concert of Colors"!!!!
Erik saw the concert five years ago, since then he really wanted to play there!!!!!! Finally!!!!
This coming Sunday, July 18th. Start from 3:15pm
Max M. Fisher Music Center
3711 Woodward Avenue
Detroit Michigan 48201

MetroTimes Blowout was such a great experience!! And I'm very happy to receive wonderful reviews!!!
From the article•••
• When I wandered into Whiskey in the Jar on Friday I had no idea what to expect from October Babies. I'm usually a toe-tapper and/or a head-bobber, but that night I couldn't help but dance.
The femme-fronted, Ypsilanti-based rock and soul band had a really cool groove, and it didn't seem to matter that I couldn't understand the lyrics sung in Japanese. It was the infectious enthusiasm of lead singer Toko Shiiki that turned my toe-tapping into dancing -- and I wasn't the only one. The entire place seemed to erupt into an all-out dance party. This kind of moment was what makes the Blowout so cool and unique.
(Rachel May)Thank you Rachel!!!!! Thank you, Blowout!!!!!!!! Great event!!!!!!!!
And the info about our show in March!!!
Spring is on its way! October Babies have already begun celebrating with a number of firsts:
Fri - Mar 12 - 10pm - October Babies at Keystone Underground
(in Ypsilanti, corner of Michigan and Washington)
Super cool and classy new little club!! Great ambience, sound and staff!
Sat - Mar 13 - 10pm - October Babies at The Savoy (w/ Tokyo Sexwhale and Dragon Wagon)
(formerly Club Divine, on Washington, 2 doors down from the Underground).
and local groups. This gig is the club's kick-off show. PLEASE come celebrate - show your colors!!!
Sat - Mar 27 - 12mid - October Babies at Goodnight Gracie's, w/ View and 16 More Miles
(we've been eyeing up this hip little club, and finally have a chance to play there!

Since Heidelberg closed its doors to live music, Gracies has been inviting more local bands
to perform. Ann Arbor has become such a corporate town, and the local music/art scene is one of the few remaining ways that one might feel the quirky personality of Ann Arbor. Come support the scene - let Gracies know that you care about the health of Ann Arbor's cultural roots!)
Please come out to these shows, not just to see us, but to show your love for the
creative community we are all privileged to be a part of. Support the venues that are
giving us all a place to play. If you contribute to the buzz, it will contribute to you too!!
best wishes!
Erik Santos

You can hear his free-style around the end of this podcast program! Erik and I said that his voice is really getting improve after he moved to NY. We hope he to come back here, MI, though...

Oh, not Medousa. This is Erik (^m^)
***Click hear to listen to the program (Japanese and English mix together! ah!)
Erik and I visited to NY last month. We recorded during the trip a lot.
At the Central Park (3 piece Jazz session), at the subways in NYC, at Satchel's...
Hmm.... music is so important. Yes, someone says "No Music, No life" That's the truth.
I hope you enjoy it!
