I think I recognize three faces in the octet on this one, including Jason's. Is that Parker with the second solo? Was this after Kenny, Rick et al graduated?
Hey ya'll :) This is Jason Mabie from the 2003 Men's Octet (Shout), (Nirvana medley), (3rd solo in My Girl), etc. I just moved to L.A. and I'm working on building a presence in the scene here. It would REALLY help if you became a fan on my music website. Debut album to be released soon! Thanks for adding me as a fan and helping me in negotiating shows with venue managers :)
REVERBNATION daht com, search Jason Mabie, and become a fan. Thank you so much!
@MandaMsPanda LOL thank you so much!!!! I gotta say, however, that the use of the adjective "almost" in reference to my dorky personality while singing isn't quite sufficient... I believe "COMPLETELY" is the more appropriate term in this context! (And, well, admittedly pretty much any other context as well...) ;)
@gobears818 Lol. You're oh so very welcome. I love seeing people have fun like the UC group while they sing. It makes watching them perform so much more entertaining.
totally disrepectful to the original creators of this song, but very funny.....i enjoyed it, NO SOUL at all in none of these singers, but they still sounded great
@WatchNikExplode13 haha thanks :o) The 7 of us are spread out all over the country now, but actually we were recently reunited for a tour in Hawaii two months ago in August because we were hired to sing at a wedding in Maui! ;)
They're really good, but I think they all sing very low, they needed two or three guys who could sing high, to give the song more balance. But still great xD
the fall show is usually about a 5 song set, so it's a lot shorter than spring show. The Octet invites groups from all over the West to sing. It's more of a West Coast a cappella showcase, hosted by the Octet and the Overtones.
So I just saw this show on TV call Sing off, and while I love the concept of the show, none of the acts compare to you guys. Grats on Pwning the competition who never competed againt the likes of you.
Yep, the Octet members arrange their own music. They are also supposed to be the only UC all male a cappella group with 8 members. Around 2000, another all male group started, but they were allowed to sing under the UC umbrella unless they 1) didn't have 8 guys and 2) were only allowed to perform songs written by group members. This is so passersby on campus didn't confuse the two groups. This group was called Noteworthy. They still exist today, except they've broken BOTH rules. I say expulsion

Problems with rythm in this one, when they go "I guess you say..." they accelerate..., and the 3 different "my girl" are too slow. Not bad nonetheless. But their others are much better!
So brilliant! I just spent so long looking at them all!! I love them!! Do ye still sing? Can I ask if you did the arrangements all yourselves?? Excellent!
The guy 3rd from the left reminds me of Jack Black??? I LOVE these guys! i would gladly listen to them ALL day EVERYday! Im propa hooked! An i tell everyone i meet about them! i know sad, but guys I LOVE YEZ!!!!! Cal UK xxxx
dude, the guy that sings at 2:00 looks like jack black and will ferrell combined. it's crazy. im like in love with him. uhhh... awesomeness right there man.
No mis-count on your part, there are only 7 Octet guys. One *had* eight and one of them dropped out of the Octet. Rehearsal for this group is about 11 hours a week and that's on top of their regular studies.
I think I recognize three faces in the octet on this one, including Jason's. Is that Parker with the second solo? Was this after Kenny, Rick et al graduated?
