| 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. |

Canoga Park Bowl — Re-Re-Re-Redux March 7 The band was back at the intimate Royal Room at the Canoga Bowl for a fifth time in March. Wednesday nights at the "Bowl" are given over to musicians from the San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra, who perform anything from Chamber Music to, well, Otherwise Normal. We first played there in March of last year and it was a blast. We were there again in June, August and November. Great crowds, fine nights. Looks like we'll be returning in a couple of months. |

In December the band appeared at Clyde Porter's West Valley Playhouse in Woodland Hills/Canoga Park for a fund raiser on behalf of the Rotary Club. The evening included a buffet dinner followed by tunes provided by Otherwise Normal in the 150-seat theater.

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.
