The Originalites

The Originalites were created near the end of the school year in 2008. Peter Fontes and Danniel Tello had some guitar and drums songs that they had worked on before and only needed a bassist. So, it was after a lame day of saturday school, peter and Tim Frankney were talking about music and all that. both knowing that they had talent, tim being a bassist, peter drums, they got together and played some covers while waiting for daniel. Then Daniel showed up(after surfing) and they played long into the evening. Read more on Last.fm …read full bio

The Originalites were created near the end of the school year in 2008. Peter Fontes and Danniel Tello had some guitar and drums songs that they had worked on before and only needed a bassist. So, it was after a lame day of saturday school, peter and Tim Frankney were talking about music and all that. both knowing that they had talent, tim being a bassist, peter drums, they got together and played some covers while waiting for daniel. Then Daniel showed up(after surfing) and they played long into the evening. Playing Sublime, Jimi Hendrix and also playing two originals; Porque, and The Funk Song(yet to be released). They got themselves ready and played a few shows during winter(DiPiazza's, Evocal, FVHS etc.) and then got a gig at African Corner in Fountain Valley, in support of The Moses Fund Charity. It was there that they met Mike(Michael Shmelk as we called him) Belk, a young(but older), talented saxophonist. Without ever meeting, EVER, the song MUSICAL FUSION was played and it was instantaneously musical fusion. That first meeting was recorded (live) and is still on our myspace today, as a sort of ode to that evening. Later, once again through our dear friend Kiro, the founder of African Corner, we met a keyboardist named Evan Postel. After one super jam it was a unanimous decision that he was fit to join. his musical ability was a perfect fit and his vibe even better. So now what was once 3 has become 5 with the help of or friend Kiro, (The Originalite). Thank you to him and his enterprise. Since then, The Originalites have played countless shows(3- a week), including Hogue Barmichael's, The Office, Chain Reaction, The Key Club, Trashpretty and more. We will keep upcoming shows posted!!! Thnks & Love! So, Come Out And Join The OG Nation!!! It's the life, it starts from the roots!!!
