Maura (Ogikubo Station)

SPB: How did Ogikubo Station come to be? 

Maura: I was visiting my sister in Oakland and hanging out with my friend Danielle Bailey from the band Jabber in San Jose.  Danny had posted some photos of us hanging out and Mike called Danny to ask if I'd sing some vocals on a song he was working on.  After the listening back to the song, we both kind of went, "Our voices sound really good together."  It was just a one-time thing, but then 3 years later, Mike asked if I'd be interested in doing a full record together and so Ogikubo Station was born.
