A.K.A.C.O.D. get to know ‘em here.
July 17th, 2007
Monique Ortiz and I have been going back and forth trying to get a time together to discuss so many things. Finally, it all started to jive and we got a phoner in live on the show (7/14). The newest project A.K.A.C.O.D, is true mysterious wisdom put on top of some low, experimental and otherworldly sounds laced with Dana Colley on Saxophone(S), Larry Dersch on percussion, and Monique plays the fretless bass, the 2-string slide bass and takes care of the vocals that if allowed, takes you to places you only thought about. In this conversation we discuss the path followed leading up to the beginnings of A.K.A.C.O.D. and its development through the past workings/teachings of Mr. Mark Sandman, and other projects Monique has been involved in including Bourbon Princess.
Please join me in enjoying this music & check out my conversation with Monique Ortiz here.

What a interesting talk. She is serious about her music that is for sure. Where do you run across these groups all the time? I hope to see them in a cave somewhere with barely enough light to see my own hand….some chartroose…
