***ONE WAY CHARLIE IS NOW ALABASTER BROWN, of ALABASTERBROWN.COM*** One Way Charlie is one of the premier Jam Bands from St Louis. The band consists of seasoned professional musicians, and the greatest gift to them, some truly great songs. Although the band is steeped in enigma, they have seen many glimpses of the world spotlight and continue to get nods from many big names in the business and OWC music has been finding its way onto the airwaves and hard-drives of the true fans of indie music, our biggest following.
Why this name?
One Way Charlie is the US naval term for a Kamikaze pilot in WWII. An early poster idea showed a Japanese Zero pilot headed straight down with a banner on it's tail that read "FURTHER".
Do you play live?
We play Occasionally as One Way Charlie or Microbus, although our stage show is rather involved, so we only can play certain arenas or major events. The next such event being June 19th in Lesterville MO.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has been very cool to us, as we wouldn't have found any ears without it. You have to be prepared to give away that which you spent 1000's or hours and $ on, in this day and age. The product has changed more from selling CD's to selling your performance. You can't bootleg a moving live performance, and we've ALWAYS felt that the music is for free, but we aren't.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I have and will again. We are a cheap date for the record company's since we produce and record our own CD's, and just require distribution, which doesn't cost them or us very much. It's a new world out there, take note!
Your influences?
Our influences are far flung and involve aspects of americana, blues, folk and classical themes as they apply to our music. The more you know, the more you create, and all art is plagary.
Favorite spot?
Lesterville MO... more hippies per capita than San Francisco 1967.
Anything else...?
Words are CHEAP, our songs do the talking and in this case THEY'RE CHEAPER THAN WORDS. Simply click and listen or download our songs for a limited time, and we don't ask for money, just to pass the word and vote, write or just keep us in mind.
Thanks for stopping by and keeping indie rock alive and just bubbline beneath the surface!
