"(7th Sept 2008) ...And finally Ooh La La took to the stage for a low key Sunday night gig. Except the boys don’t do low-key gigs. Like career websites that tell you to dress for the job you want, not the job you have, Ooh La La played for the audience and recognition they wanted, nay deserved. With an impressive light show that highlighted their verve and professionalism, the boys all perform like they were born on stage and wowed the socks off the punters. They sounded, looked, smelt, danced and felt like they were playing to arenas full of screaming diehard fans, And it shouldn’t be long until they are doing just that..."
Alex Kelsey :: Michael Coppel Presents
"...3 excellent shows supporting Paul Weller in Sydney last week. You guys have got it - songs, sounds & stage presence! A big thanks for your professionalism. I look forward to working with you all again...."
FREE AT LAST (EP) Review ::
Bill Danyluk : MailPack : AUS
"...The lads have excelled themselves this time and raised the bar even higher. I'm sure that most of these songs will appear on future "best of" OohLaLa compilations, but meanwhile get the ep.........Possible contender for best independent release of the year! ....."
Stuart A Hamilton :: Blues Matters Magazine uk
"...they have it all - great songs and musicians, all topped off with the stratospheric vocals of Simon Meli...."
Denley Healy :: Shock Records
"Their individual musicianship is flawless, but combined, it creates the ultimate good time with infectious grooves and unmistakable licks..... These guys are bound for the Big Stage. Oh and Simon Meli...That boy CAN sing!"
The Drum Media
"...Their songs, musicianship and stage presence could equal any international band that has graced Australian stages. The initial focal point of Ooh La La is singer Simon Meli, the most charismatic singer I've witnessed in a long time....."
The Brag - Review
"Frontman Simon Meli has more soul than the devil could ever collect. Every note and every lyric is delivered with more passion than the most tragic of Shakespeare novels. Flanked by a talented bunch of accomplished musicians, there is not one moment whilst watching their show that I ever felt the need to wander off......this band is the blackest white band in Sydney."
Sorry if I have a TWISTED sense of humor. This is an obnoxious attempt to get more blog subscribers. Basically just taking a break from writing my novel. Hope it interests you.
We've got this, like, awesome shows coming up with all these other, like, awesome bands and it would be, like, totally rad and, like, awesome if you could come along.
