Press Quotes
“[The Outer Vibe] was the winner of the FOX’s Rock Search contest last December [2005] and is considered to be one of the Midwest’s finest bands.” – 101.3 The Fox
“I have many good bands on my page, but [The Outer Vibe] are the freshest sound that I have heard in many years! T.O.V. is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise bland music scene. This band brings back the fun of a time gone by and something new at the same time. I just want to step out and dance. Clean vocals and tight sound tell me that this band is in 'it' for fun. Your music moves me.” – Itsabou’s Entertainment Gallery
“[Games We Play] could vie for local album of the year.” – The Grand Rapids Press
“…with this CD, Grand Rapids band The Outer Vibe shows why the group was chosen as the latest Hometown Rock Search winner. ‘Games We Play’ gets your attention from the first sound on ‘Anybody Home’ to the last on ‘I Do’… ’Games We Play’ may be one of the best CDs you’ll hear right now. Buy it; you’ll like it.” – Revue Magazine, Grand Rapids

The Outer Vibe is the revival of rock and roll's classic power and free thinking soul.
The high energy six piece group uses trumpet, saxophone and keys to color their Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Chicago inspired music.
The Outer Vibe's sound is an innovative take on rock music's most timeless elements, which pays tribute to the voice that screamed out in the 1960's and 70's for change and freedom.
The Outer Vibe has independently recorded and produced 3 full-length albums, and has sold approximately 1500 Cds in the past year. They are currently gathering material for a 4th full length album.
The group is known to fill up to a 900-person capacity concert venue (i.e. Grand Rapids rock club staple, The Intersection). In the most recent year The Outer Vibe has played over 50 shows within a 200-mile radius.
The Outer Vibe's music has aired on a Clear Channel Communications radio station, 101.3 The Fox, as well as numerous independent and college radio stations. The band has organized, hosted and performed at their own large scale local music showcase, titled The Big Gig, featuring a number of West Michigan artists.
The Outer Vibe performed at Fox Fest 2006, opening for REO Speedwagon and the Tubes, a result of winning the 13th annual Aris Hampers Hometown Rock Search. They have also taken first place in the 91.5 WHMW's 2005 Battle of the Bands, the 2004 97.9 WGRD Big Break Contest, and the 2001 West Michigan High School Battle of the Bands.
At the annual Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts (the biggest volunteer-run event in the nation), The Outer Vibe consistently has the highest CD sales of any musical act.
Other national acts the band has opened for include: Kenny Wayne Shepherd, The Dirty Americans, Sponge, Days of the New, Primer 55, and Bliss 66.

The Bathtub Test
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No" said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"
ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE ?
