Oh No! Oh My! informal-

By Jordan

For those of you yet to really get the Oh No! Oh My! wave; this means pretty much all of you; might want to get some before it’s all gone.  They are a happy poppy band from Austin/Nashville.  Oh No! Oh My!’s self titled debut album is pretty much spectacular.  It mixes the best of the acoustic post folk pop goodness with indie techno pop.  The lyrics are witty but not too much to turn off anyone; more so an even balance of intllegence.

history and crap from the myspace From the minds of songwriters Greg Barkley and Daniel Hoxmeier comes a catchy post-pop band that loves themselves a tasty melody. Both Greg and Daniel were home schooled through high school and, for lack of anything better to do, learned to play the guitar and any other useful instruments they could get their collective hands on.

Teaming up with Joel Calvin (drums), they formed the band (poor) yorik, an experimental rock band, which after 8 months they decided was a much too depressing style of music. The trio spent a month in deep meditation and self reflection (during which Joel found inner peace), and it was decided that they would from then on be called The Jolly Rogers. However, upon discovery of several pop-punk bands from Nebraska and Florida, and a group that frequents renaissance festivals dressed in pirate garb, the band decided it was time for another name change. They chose Oh No! Oh My!, named for a song by The Robot Ate Me.

In July of 2005, the band began work on a brand new collection of songs after a demo from the year prior was met with a strong response over the internet. Greg and Daniel moved in January 2006 from their Hometown in Austin, TX, to their temporary home in Nashville, TN, to go to an Audio Engineering school for 9 months. Joel soon followed in April, and now the band are set to to release their first full length album on May 2nd.
