Angela O’Neill and her band the Outrageous8 are an 8 piece little big band, with big band attitude.
Most members of the octet are also founding members of the band, which started officially in 2017. The musicians are all talented Los Angeles musicians in their own right and have had extensive careers playing with A-list talent and touring.
All of them share a common love for big bands, which gave birth to Angela O’Neill and the Outrageous8. Since the band’s inception, they have played and entertained their audiences at live music venues in the Los Angeles area – Catalina Jazz Club, Feinstein’s at Vitello’s, The Mixx Pasadena to name a few. The Outrageous8 heralds the tunes of the old big band days, from Count Bassie, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie.
Angela O’Neill’s sultry vocals entertain and delight the crowds, along with her guest vocalists , Jackie Gibson.
The band has built a solid following and has been known to have sold out shows. They are active on social media and have their own mailing list to promote their shows. They also have band swag to purchase with baseball caps, t-shirts and CD’s. You can visit their online store to purchase their official band swag at https://www.angelamaeoneill.com/new-products
The events of 2020 create huge challenges for the live music scene worldwide. The Outrageous8 were quick to respond and had weekly zooms until they could meet in-person again to rehearse outside.
Angela produced 2 new albums during 2020, Quarantunes and their Holiday Jazz album to add to their other self-produced albums (Live at the VFW, For Your Listening Pleasure, Live at The Mixx), which are all available on their online store mentioned above. In addition, Angela started a record label, Outrageous8 Records to promote the music of her band, working on new album projects for Take2, Paul Litteral Music and Kathryn Hopkins Music, all with new releases in 2021.
