WEEK FIVE (3/16/09)
Name: Sergio Otaegui
Nickname: with a name like "sergio" a nickname never really came into play, but the guys in the band sometimes call me "brown bear" and my friends at home call me "sergito" haha.
Job: Full Time Musician - I sing and play guitar in the band Thieves and Villains
Hometown: Marlboro, NY
Top 5 current albums This is superrrr hard but just to name a few things I've been bumpin lately and for awhile:

Asher Roth- The Greenhouse Effect Vol 1
Wale- Mixtape About Nothing

First concert attended: Probably some small local show but the first big one would be Red Hot Chili Peppers/ Queens of the Stone Age/ Mars Volta in Albany NY at the Pepsi Arena

First album purchased: Sublime - 40oz to Freedom. I had two older cousins from Worchestor Massachusetts that put me onto a lot of mid 90s punk and ska when I was like 9 years old.

First song you learned all the words to: it was definetly a Frank Sinatra song, not sure which though. My dad always had a ton of Frank and The Beatles playing in the house growing up.

Childhood dream job: exactly what I'm doing right now. though when I was like 5 I wanted to be a comedian haha

Worst job you've had: Well besides music, I've had only 2 jobs ever, which were both 5 star restaurants as a busboy/waiter. I was working with these old Europen men and they were super serious like, I'd have to wear a tuxedo and make sure my hair was always short and that I was 100% clean shaven or they'd hand you a razor haha. I worked in one from when I was 13 - 17 and the other was from 17 til right around when I turned 20 and left to tour fulltime in Thieves. Those were both really intense and took up all my free time growing up outside of soccer, school, and music. In retrospect I think it's good that I worked so much starting at an early age, cause it kept me focused, out of trouble, and made sure I always had wayyy too much money in my pocket haha.
