BIG MOUTH STRIKES AGAIN!

Below is a review of our set at Venn Festival. We came across it on the Bristol Choke Forum. We don't know who wrote it (it wasn't us), what we do know is that it's a little better than our only other live review written by Zapsta.

"OLO Worms – never has quite so much nervous anticipation been witnessed from a band about to take stage. In fact they are on stage, but such is the proximity of the eager culture vultures to the band, the OLOs were quite literally backing off before they got their coo-ing, rustling harmonies into shape."

"Crouched over banks of wires and knobs – each twitch and utterance unleashes another layer of sound. From such a shaky start, the OLO sound stirs and then sweeps you away. We are prey, carried off by carrion. A rare sighting of accidental genius, amongst the teeming hordes of genuine ‘artistes’ amassed by Venn."

AS SEEWEED ON TV

I have a small part in a documentary that is to be aired over the next week or so. The documentary is called 'Born Boggle Eyed'. The truth is far too boring so i'll leave it at that. Details of when and where you can see my animation are on the poster. Seaweed x

COOLER GIG POSTER

Above is the poster for this Friday's gig at The Cooler (Bristol).
Supporting us are McDowell. Doors are at 9.30pm, we are on at 11pm.
There will be visuals by Herts Eye Hospital.

We are 'Surf pop' ?? according to the Guardian guide..

NEW SIDE PROJECTS!

OLO Worms have split!..in two!..just for a little while. Before we start work on new OLO material we have decided to form two new bands..


So to make it clear,

Delifinger & Lionheart are called THE GORLKEEPERS

Seaweed & Boonbeans are called WOMEN RUNNING BACKWARDS

Each group will be making an EP which will go on sale through our website on the same day. No idea yet when that'll be. Keep an eye out. More info on the new groups to come soon.

As we mentioned in the previous post Lionheart is working on a new solo EP. There are rumours that Delifinger is also working on something solo too.

THE BUM

Begins his new life. Ha! just look at jobless, homeless Lion'Art!? He's given up shaving and is currently writing & recording a new solo EP. He said something about recording in the shower? Maybe try using soap.

ROZI & RACHAEL RAVE

Rozi Plain & Rachael Dadd ..hmm, delightful! Oh what a lovely evening..
until BB & DF (after the gig) left for the all night rave in the woods (after a 2 hour trek).

LLAMA NO SHOW

I'm sure no one noticed, but sorry if anyone who was at the Lynton & Lynmouth Festival (Llama 08) this past weekend was expecting the OLO Radio team to be DJing on the lawn inbetween the bands. We were'nt asked this year but then found out we'd been listed in the programme?? Then one of the organisers rang my mum to ask if we could do it!?? ha! She actually went to the festival and in theory could have done it, and probably would have done a better job than us. Some of us have been to the last 4 Llama festivals so we were kinda glad to give it a miss this year. At some point we'll edit together last years video clips.

The 3rd person to leave a comment in the comments box (to this blog) wins..

Warning!!
Click HERE to watch a little video about the *yawn* Bristol sound. We wouldn't know, we only like music from the 60s, music from the other side, music is boring!

MOVING ON

As of next week we are homeless. Last time up on the roof..

We've spent the last 6 happy months shacked up at our base Sherwood Hood, but now it's time to move on..mainly due to the fact Lionheart is cracking up and can't handle the pressure of running the pub. Where next hobo?
