Today's ONOFFON SSP of the Day is an email I received just this morning from a person in the management of one of the sites in my last post - this is what they said -To: Von <von@onoffon.com>"Hi VonOffVon, Just wanted to let you know that we had some friends over last night and played your tunes several times. You guys were a big hit. That’s some serious musicianship going on and it is unfortunately almost a lost art. I think its unfair to compare yourself to DMB because you have a much rawer and more aggressive sound. We checked your site for CD sales and found the link on the bottom. A friend of mine will be ordering one this week and let us know if you are ever playing in the WA state area, we will come root you on.Take care,Management" This is exactly the kind of email that really kicks off your day with a promise of hope that there might actually be a God... Thanks to the management of this website...

The ONOFFON SSP of the Day is a little review we received this morning on our song, "Shadowglass", written by one of the moderators over at the R Cat Communications BBs - here's his take -R Cat Communications - Reviewshttp://rcatcommunications.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=11ONOFFON - "Shadowglass""This is a watertight band, to say the least. This particular number has the elemental building blocks for the construction of a musically masterful piece of sonic architecture. With a focus on fusion, this progressive piece employs lead sounds which are shared between flute and guitar. The melodies are pleasant, and meticulously played. The guitar solo near the end of the song is not to be missed! Just tremendous! These are accomplished musicians, and the work you hear from them makes this fact very apparent. Much credit to these guys are well deserved." http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/onoffon.htm http://www.onoffon.com/Thanks to Wally for such a complimentary review...

Reviewed by: rotcod - 1/29/2005 "Lookin' back... This is the way I reviewed this album back around 1998: "some SMOKIN' blues-based funk that'll have yer' fingerz' poppin', & get yer' feet MOVIN'!..." "S-T-R-O-N-G sax on track 4, "Weekend In Montreal") mixed in are a main attraction for me, but they've got a strong rock presence (shades of "Cream", ver zure) crawlin' down under, too! HIGH ENERGY music for folks who won't tolerate syrupy smooth in their listening sessions. This is one of the best (all around) groups I've heard..." Folks here at MIXPOSURE are PRIVILEGED to have players like this here, I can tell you! This gets ANOTHER "MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED", Von! GREAT tune!" Reviewed by: solipsism - 1/29/2005 "ok, i give up ! - this sounds great straight off the bat....the quality is just oozing from it. The sound from the bass is so full and the harmonica just sounds amazing. It moves along with such ease and all the pieces just gel together...sounds really organic, pretty intense playing also. I like the vocals in this, really out of the ordinary with interesting lyrics to accompany them. Musically it's fantastic, really fantastic...with an obscenely professional production"Reviewed by: Nev - 1/28/2005 "Groove Machine - ONOFFON just know how to groove! ... what else can I say, I'd love to see this band play live. NIce..." Reviewed by: SYSTEM-X - 1/28/2005 "~Rock Funk Jazz Fusion~ Rock Funk Jazz fusion, quite a busy piece this one, loads of stuff going on here, sound elements galore, Killer Bass line, and tight Percussion, just love the Harmonica and Guitar routine, complements the vocals very nicely,........................Well worth a listen......................"
