Oh No Oh My

Oh No Oh My are a four-piece indie rock band from Austin, Texas.

Oh No Oh My consists of multi-instrumentalists Daniel Hoxmeier, Joel Calvin, Greg Barkley, and Tim Regan. The members of Oh No Oh My started playing music when they were fourteen years old, and all of them play at least three different instruments. Daniel (Guitars, Banjos, Accordions, Keys, Wurlitzers, Tambourines, Hand Claps, Percussion, Sampling, Programming) and Joel Calvin (Drums, Keys, Hand Claps, Sampler, Tambourines, Bells, Shakers) were best friends growing up; Greg Barkley (Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Banjos, Accordions, Rhodes, Wurlitzers, Keys, Hand Claps, Percussion) joined the boys after Daniel and Joel “stole Greg from his previous band." Originally calling themselves The Jolly Rogers, a decision to drive the band in a new direction resulted in a name change—the current Oh No Oh My moniker was inspired by a song by The Robot Ate Me.

The group moved to Nashville, Tennessee in January 2005 to continue with their music, where they played several local shows, experimented with their lineup, and released their debut, self-titled album. It was here the trio met up with most recent addition, Tim Regan (Keys, Locks, Bolts, Wurlitzers, Rhodes, Syths, Guitars, Vocals). In September 2006, the group left Nashville to play a series of shows across the United States, including opening for The Flaming Lips and Gnarls Barkley.

After permanently returning to Austin, with occasional jaunts across the country with bands such as Mew, The Deadly Syndrome, Let's Go Sailing, and Au Revoir Simone, Oh No Oh My re-released Between the Devil and the Sea in August 2007. The EP featured five songs originally recorded in their Jolly Rogers days.

In February 2008 the band embarked on a European tour, which was concluded at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas.

The band recently received press when one of their fans was denied entry to Six Flags San Antonio for wearing a t-shirt which appeared to illustrate two girls consuming small children.

In 2008, the band removed the exclamation marks from their band name, to simplify identification, and avoid confusion in general.

On January 18th 2011,their second full length album, "People Problems" was released.

Oh No Oh My – People Problems

_{Gepubliceerd op: 2011-02-08}

De opener van de cd ‘Walking Into Me’ is, hoewel vrolijk genoeg ingezet, niet direct een lust voor het oor. Dat heeft vooral te maken met de vocalen van zanger . Het hoge, ijle geluid zit er regelmatig naast, waardoor het voor de meer kritische luisteraar niet direct uitnodigt om verder te luisteren. Door de grote hoeveelheid galm is het ook vaak moeilijk te verstaan, dubbel mis. ‘You Were Right’ ... »
