I was getting my daily updates from Perez and he recommended this college A’cappella band from UCLA called Awaken A Cappella. What got me interested was that they are doing the Acappella version of the song Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap, which is one of the songs that must be in all OC Fans’ playlists.

They are the new kind of Acappella group, singing the current top hits in their own versions.

Then I started browsing their MySpace profile, only to find out that California has some really kick ass Acappella bands! Check these MySpaces out for cool vocal tunes.

• Awaken A Cappella – UCLA – Their version of Hide and Seek would have made Marissa’s Death a little more interesting.
• Scatter Tones – UCLA – This group is super awesome! They recreate my fave Mr. Brightside, complete with guitar riffs and drum bangings – all human!
• Random Voices – UCLA – Girl Powered Acappella group – the harmonious If I Ain’t Got You will just melt you.
• Reverse Osmosis – USC – Their version of Coldplay’s Fix You is a lot better than the original.

I love Acappellas – they give me goosebumps.

Thailand also has its very own Acappella group, called, unsurprisingly, Acappella 7, because well the band composes of 7 Acappella singing guys..

I couldn’t find their website but found this from one of those online music players. Click here so you all can see (hear) how good they are. This song is called “Teen Ka” or Crow’s feet, a.k.a., wrinkles. Their lyrics are all jokes and laughable fun but their talent is dead serious.

Are they still around? Thai artists who can actually sing never have the looks so they tend to die before their time. What a shame.
