| Otherwise Normal is a Los Angeles-based four-piece cover band formed in 1998. The group's primary focus is on Beatles and other 60s British Invasion bands, but we also play the likes of the Bowie, The Police and the Talking Heads. The members of the band include a computer programmer, a high-end audio rack designer, an internal medicine physician and a classical radio DJ. |

Check out this YouTube video to see a rooftop performance at the Santa Monica Family YMCA in July of 2009. We play the second half of the Abbey Road medley, right up to The End. Sure that's ambitious for a four-piece band — live, no less — but that's just how we roll.
If you've got 2 minutes, here are 22 songs. See if you can you name them all. (Couldn't catch every one? Move the mouse here for a cheat sheet.) Or click here. |
Otherwise Normal Rocks Marina Del Rey We've played a number of times at Fisherman's Village in Marina Del Rey. We serve up our usual covers of Beatles, etc. and give out a slew of classical CDs to lucky attendees during random trivia quizes.
