O MY! NY!

hellO ya'll.

i'm back. although i tend to stumble into smaller or bigger holes after concerts (can't keep that up once we will play more often and regularly..!) my little and quick trip to NYC kept me out of the after STADTSAAL hole.
sO: what a sweet sweet night. i am happy happy O. quite and yes so. we keep working on our live setup, martin took over the technical computer stuff this time so i could really concentrate on everything else (also inbetween songs) and i didn't have to fummel around with the computer. sweet. also we spontaneously involved Flo Klinger and his happy pauken again, and i have to admit that i'm getting used to it. still and again: pauken and slide-guitar sound pretty hot HOT together. sO. then we had first time ever merchandising (THANK YOU: Milica Balubdzic, Tobias Pils and Bernhard Rappold) O-Shirts and O-Totes (a few of them are still for sale, if you want one contact me). we're working on it. we're getting there. EXCITING!
so then: New York.
a sweet little hang over on an early morning airport. with breakfast:

and a beautiful sunrise ( i like sunrises. and sundowners. and sun.):

then it was all about meetings (O mettings, private meetings, meeting friends), making my way through the city (self-test: no taxis, only subway. it kind of worked) riding the bus to the MEXICAN SUMMER Label Night. saw Ariel Pink, Tamaryn (!), The Fresh&Onlys and others there. oh, and Michelle Williams. wohoo.
the next day was China National Day. since i was staying in Chinatown, it was quite exciting, although i am not Chinese and i am not very excited about Austrian National Day either.
i also had a quite spontaneous photoshoot with Tina Schula.
then i walked the (high) line for the first time. pretty neat. and crowded (it was sunday. and sunny). then it was about time to go home because: i missed my family. this is how it works when you have kids or at least one kid: you miss them pretty quickly. and this is what happened to me, too. so i couldn't wait to go home. insane. but: sweet sweet sweet hellO at the airport. so: i'm back. and quite settled for what's about to come.

sincerestly and honestly yours. T.

mOre of this!

well, hello..!

I'm quite enjoying this hot hot hot summer, drinking spritzer, try to still enjoy the alte donau (i only use the dusche), and also try to (mentally) work on the last concerts to prepare for the next ones. yep, that's what i do. well well.
i wonder why i'm embarrassed when people applaude and also i am quite often reminded that i can be a quite and very shy person sometimes. but that's alright.
sO.
we will be playing at the Stadtsaal in Wien in October (07/10/13) with the wonderful and beautiful Dorit Chrysler. you might not want to miss that, i guess!!!
also: thank you for so many many many new facebook friends. i still didn't figure out how this machine works, but 10 days ago there were far less then now. so hello, all you new friends. i'm glad you made it, and yet: can't wait for those who still are about to come!

it was hot as hell, there were loads of sweat, heavy heartbeats and E_U_P_H_O_R_I_A. we survived POPFEST 2013. we played in the most incredible Karlskirche. how sweet is that?!
yes. i was really nervous. yes, i didn't know what to expect.yes, i could have done some things better. and yes, a couple of days ago i hoped that enough people would show up- and then this! - so many of you waited to get tickets, so many of you were there. thank you thank you thank you. thank you tonverwandtschaften, thank you gerald votava, thank you florian klinger.  what a night.

thanks for having me!

ENJOY.

GOOD NIGHT.


facebook.com/thisissoO

oh my. oh my.

well, there is quite a lot to do around here. really. band-photos are being edited, the live video is done but will be edited again. we can't make up our minds on the first video. but i might have an idea. we'll see. also we're about to start the preparations for our upcoming live-shows. well and hell yeah! one of these will be

O LIVE@RKH as guests of the incredible MAUSE.
thank's for inviting us!

19.6.2013.

tickets are on sale already. come come come and bring your friends.

also like i've told you before: there will be another me on the telly as part of the ORF III Künstlergespräche- to be aired on tuesday, may 7th, 19:45. ORF III.

see you soon! lOve

O! TV! again!

so, i thought i might as well share some sneak-band-pictures-preview- pics on here. voila! scroll down. also be prepared for another me in the telly. i did a Kulturgespräch with ORF III to be aired pretty soon. i'll kepp you updated. also there is a date to save for all of you living in vienna. or those who always wanted to see Os live. or for those who always wanted to visit vienna and see a band. just a little more to wait. i like that!

O_my. PARIS!

so i was in Paris over the weekend. mainly to get away from vienna. also to celebrate my birthday (i'm quite old now. but that's alright.). to buy shoes. to go out. to spend a weekend without mini me. quite hard in the beginning, nice in the end and sweet sweet when coming home. highly recommended. we were at a secret hidden bar. i mainly ate croque madame or croque monsieur. we saw picassos studio. and met a priest on the way home. this week we'll do our first bandpictures with the infamous Patrick Pulsinger behind the camera. can't wait. also: the live-video from salzburg should be done. right, B.? there will be a concert in vienna in june. did i say that before? can't wait, pretty exciting. i think i've said that before. somehow it sounds familiar. well. hello Vienna. hello spring. i missed you.

OoooOOOO!

i shouldn't do that- don't write on here for so long. i have a schlechtes gewissen for days and days until i manage to get over it and write. so: hellO. i'm back. i enjoyed winter again, went skiing, snowboarding and stuff like that (yes, i grew up in the mountains). so now i'm back in the cold and grey city, trying to get an at least faintly structured view on stuff coming up and how to work through it. and how to make the right decisions at the right time. and random stuff like that. so to make a beginning we decided on our first SINGLE. yes. that's relieving and exciting. so we finally can make serious plans on our first music video. also very exciting. also the live-footage of our concert in salzburg is being edited right now. already listened to the audio-file and i am quite and really proud. yes.yes. we will be playing a very special concert in vienna in june. more to come soon. excited and exciting. so as you can tell from this post- i am a quite excited person. i hope to excite you with that. or at least you are not bored. bye. lOve.

strIke!

well. oh well. IT WORKED! heavy rehearsing, sleepless nights, doubts if it all made and makes sense- and it completely does! wohoo. i was scared of making mistakes- forgetting lyrics, not being able to work the music-program i just started to use 2 weeks ago, and many more. but it worked. and we had fun. and the music works on stage. also something i was scared of. background singers did a wonderful job singing and doing their stripped down percussions. martin is amazing. everybody is highly motivated- me included. hope i have some visual souvenirs from salzburg soon so i can share them with you. also a feeling that's quite new to me but yes- i want to share stuff on the internet! and we all can't wait to play our next concert. soon!!! i'll keep you updated.
also: 29 soon. time to get serious. O! yes!

O winter!

so, although winter is almost over (clap your hands everybody!) i had an extremely positive winter-experience this last weekend. it involved mountains, snow, a lot of sun, a new sled for my son which was highly appreciated. excellent food. hot water springs. so i'm full of energy for this last week of heavy heavy rehearsing, since friday is the day- we'll be playing our first concert with the new live setup and i am, oh well, let's say: excited. quite heavily. also involving some cold sweat and sleeplessness. but that's how it goes. so. so. so. if you are in salzburg or always wanted to go there or if you are such a heavy fan of Os already: come come come. i'll give you a hug and you can applaud.

anOther one

here's another old picture i found- maybe im getting a little melancholic after a long and grey (as i've said before) winter. i think this is one of the most beautiful pictures of my mom- somehow so 1970ies although you can only see her face..

beards and flutes

when i was little i played the flute for Mr. Nikolaus, while my boyfriend picked his nose. Oh!

O! gschnasing

it's not an easy life, sometimes. i was gschnasing yesterday. nur echt mit dem schminkzwerg. see below. and regret it if you weren't there! FUN!

urban flOwers pt 2

hair stuff

my son finally has enough hair to do stuff with it. like brush it from one side to another and the other way around. this is his first side parting. very gentlemanish.

time after time..

..i keep forgetting to share stuff with you. this does not mean that there is nothing happening or i don't think of writing on here. it's just a time-issue. half of my family sick, baby-birthday parties to attend, harp-players to commnuicate with and an 18 month old who thinks he's at least 3. BUT: i'll be in the studio all of next week, that's quite exciting, there is a new documentary for the austrian national television in preparation (to be aired on the 6th of march). and the first rehearsal with our new backgroundsingers is today- i am quite excited. also: thank you really and a lot and very much for replying to our job-posting to those who did- the jobs are taken- the kings are crowned!
more to come soon.

and: my grandmom still tries to convince me to become a Genossin- very subtle, but thanks.

hey jAw

                            

grey gardens

there's one thing i have to say: it's pretty grey, man! winters in vienna are not really charming. it's grey. really grey. most of the time. so - eat some cake, drink alcohol in a decent manner (sometimes not) and eat cake. work. listen to good music. and dream about summer. at least that's what i do.
and also i'm preparing for the first live-shows: rehearsing, recording stuff, deciding on wind-sections or not.sounds great? it is great!
lOve

vacancy

O! we are looking for background singers. 2. male. should be able to sing and hit the keys. if you can handle logic and/or percussion instruments- great! contact us, gents, contact us, boys! and don't be shy. o@thisiso.net. tell your friends! thank you.

i was gOne

and now i'm back! christmas is over. i like that. it's getting serious in the studio and in quite a lot of other places as well. video. press-stuff. live-setup. etc. etc. but i guess that's what this year will be all about. hooray!

happy happy 13 to all of you and us and everybody else. gratefullest yours-O.
