"(Excerpts from) It's a Woo Hootenanny!"

Tulsa World - Spot Magazine (June 15, 2001)
LOCAL MUSIC COMPILATION GETS A BIG - AND CHEAP -
LAUNCH
Joe Cinocca has a deal for you. Understand this
: He's one of you - a music fan. He doesn't have
a lot of cash. So here's what he wants to do - sell
a $5 CD each year with about 20 tracks from bands
from everywhere. A sampler, if you will, for those
of you tired of paying $15 for a CD from one artist.
Woo Hoo, you yell? No, it's Woo Hoo Bank.
"I think it's the best bargain out right now,"
said Cinocca, the 31-year-old owner of Yawn Records.
"I'm really catering to college students. Those
tired of record labels jacking up prices."
For the first volume of his compilation, called
Woo Hoo Bank, Cinocca grabbed some locals and teamed
them up with some national acts. He's having a CD-release
party Friday, showcasing four of the bands on the
disc : Fanzine, Tony Romanello Band, Rewake and
Zen Hipster.
"I like to find those bands that never got
the push and local acts that are great - bands that
demand your attention," he said.
Cinocca's ears haven't even started ringing from
the first Woo Hoo release show and he's got a second
show - with Antenna Lodge, Eppreley and Tex Montana's
Fireball 4 - and a second CD in the works.

Woo Hoo Bank Disc Offers Savory Sampling / Tulsa

If you like cheap buffets, dig into Woo Hoo Bank
Vol. 1. The bands picked to fill out the record
work well with its premise - maximum satisfaction
for minimum price. You get "A Red Shade To
Somber" off
Tony Romanello's critically acclaimed album "The
MumbleOdd." Fanzine offers up "No. 7,"
which in the beginning sounds like a funky '70's
TV cop show theme," off of "Brilliant."
Antenna Lodge combines nightmares and pantyhose
in a song from its upcoming album "Wu Ming."
Most of the disc takes its cuts from full-length
albums, such as those from the Merrymakers, Jenny
Labow, Lazlo Bane, Remede', Hosty Trio, Vena Cava,
Tex Montana's Fireball 4, Zen Hipster and Sybil's
Machine. But seven songs come from a place music
fans love to dip their ears into - previously
unreleased material. These songs include offerings
from A.M.P., Dave Lon, Scott Peace, Epperley, Rewake,
Wick and Underside featuring Munkeyneck.
With 19 tracks, you're not guaranteed to like all
the songs, which range from pop to heavy rock, but
heck, if you like half of 'em, it's still a bargain.
And that's the point. It's a buffet with some choice
cuts of musical meat. Chow.
Woo Hoo Bank Vol. 1 is available at Mohawk Music,
Starship Records and Tapes, Blue Moon Discs (Claremore),
and CD Warehouse locations in Tulsa, Oklahoma City,
Ft. Smith and Fayetteville.
