This band is a nice bunch of characters that quietly strum ukuleles and lightly hit a glockenspiel. They're called Argyle Smile. The five-some is Jared "Jare-Bear" Parsons (vocals, ukulele and guitar), Dana "Bo Bana" Chambers (vocals, autoharp, glockenspiel, shakers and tambourine), Nicholas "Captain" Gehris (keys), Jon "Onion Steak" Stoleto (bass) and Jeff "J-Ram" Ramirez (drums). A song that is definitely one of the best released by a local artist last year goes to Argyle Smile's "Every Song." It's pretty much just Dana and Jared in the recorded version, and the song reminisces about a potential love interest. Just watch the amazingly genius music video that Alex Lamb filmed and directed for the song. Fuse TV acknowledged how unique the video is and made it available on Fuse On Demand. Now you can watch it on your TV but only through early January. The band started showing up in the OC music scene mid-year, so though they are fairly new, the band is working the Orange County circuit fast and well. They have a great journey ahead. Catch Argyle Smile at the OC Music Awards showcase at The Continental Room on Jan. 19. Web site: www.myspace.com/smileargyle Back to Top Return to front page »
