Band Spotlight with Colourmusic

So most people in Stillwater, or possibly the entire state of Oklahoma are familiar with the pop-rock band Colourmusic. The band is made up of five blokes who go by the name of Roy G. Biv. 4 of the 5 Roys are from the great state of Oklahoma and one is from across the pond; the UK. Colourmusic has been around for a few years and has built up quite a large and loyal fan base. Their live shows are different every time the play. I can gush about how awesome their shows are and how inventive the band is, but in reality I feel like you, the reader, should make up your mind. They are the musical equivalent to a bag of Skittles; something you can survive without, but once you’ve tasted the sweet nectar you will want more.

This Friday, Feb. 22 Colourmusic will be playing at Eskimo Joe’s in Stillwater. The show is the End of the World Dance Party. It’s free to everyone with a valid id stating that they are over the age of 21. All black attire is recommended, encouraged, and damn near mandatory. Roy is on the record claiming that they have been told insider information that the world will end on the last drumbeat of the evening. Basically, this is the one party you should attend. Your life may depend on it.

In a parallel universe the 5 Roys will be joining the band British Sea Power on a west coast tour followed by SXSW and a few Midwest dates. When the tour is over they will be available to tell stories, help tend your garden, and deliver you your order from Wendy’s. So if you are in Stillwater Friday, hit up their show and buy their EPs because once they are gone you will have to wait until May to pickup the Orange album consisting of the Red and Yellow EPs.
