   About Nick Ogawa
New York based trio consisting of cello, keys, drums, and vocals. The music ventures into a bold new genre of modern pop, played on traditionally classical instrumentation in a very untraditional way. Although closely resembling rock and indie, we capture a futuristic retro sound, as if the synths of the 80’s were combined with the blues of the 20’s, in a beautiful baroque hallucination of the early 21st century.

Hi Nick! I haven't seen you since the '06 Songwriting Contest! I would love to see you play again so...

I wanted to let you know, I'm hosting 15 MINUTES OF FAME - a FULL BAND (or solo!) Open Mic - and I would love it if you came to play! It starts on Wednesday Feb 27th, runs from 8 to Midnight (sign-up at 7:30) & is at Kenny's Castaways (157 Bleecker).

Please come out if you're around!

xoxo

Hi:)

Yeah, I am:)I love his unique and grotesque way of drawing, his imagination, his passion for Poe and Mister Vincent Price. And last but not least I like his thoughts about children.
He's an amazing person and I can't wait any longer for his remake of Frankenweenie (a short film of Burton that he made in 1984)and....Alice in Wonderland!!*excited*:)

Beautiful music, Nick.

Hello, it is not an upside-down mushroom (look closely). Korea is excellent. I love your voice. I found you through Lisa's page. I especially love your rendition of "shady grove" - beautiful.

Yes, I heard Takenobu on NPR (WAMC).
Luckily, I was taking a nice, snow-filled drive in the country.
I *really* like the cello arrangement,and Nick's voice.
The performance was raw in a critical way.
Rock on, guys.

Hey Nick!
How are you doing?
I just wanted to say hi!
Hey, I've never asked you, I know you will probably not like it, but, d'you know Apocalyptica? I just added a very cool song by them on my profile...They're definetely one of my fav. bands and the ones that actually made me get interested in cello in the first place...
Anyway, how's it been over there? how's life? Have you written/recorded any new stuff?
Greetings!
Miguel
