Houston’s “Tontons” provide music for Noel Furniture TV spots
While reviewing the ZEN Film YouTube site a few weeks ago, I came across an incredible voice talent who just happens to live right here in Houston. Her name is Asli Omar and she is the lead singer for the Tontons, a Houston-based band.
Upon playing the video for client Tod Noel, of Noel Furniture, Tod immediately commented on the song and have perfect it would work in our TV commercials. I agreed so I got on the phone to Ross Wells at ZEN for permission to use the song in Noel commercials.
Ross contacted the Tontons agent and publishing house and they immediately agreed to the usage of the music. We produced the spots and here they are.
I am excited as I love the idea of promoting Houston bands and creative talent and also keeping the work within Houston. After all, that is what OnlyinHouston.com is all about.
I’m glad Tod Noel feels the same!
Below is a small excerpt from the Tontons website:
The Tontons are mesmerizing both from an auditory and visual perspective. This incredible psychedelic rock band mixes an unlikely bag of influences into an amazing texture all its own.
In this video from their self-titled CD, The Tontons treat us to a night on the town and a stunning performance at The House of Blues in Houston.
Thanks to The Greater Houston Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and The House of Blues Houston for their assistance in the production of this video.
The TonTons are:
Asli Omar: Vocals
Adam Martinez: Guitar
