 Old News: We are still working on our 3rd CD. It's almost done. (We've been saying that for months, but it's true.)

 

Here is a picture of Tom's horse.

 

 

And here is a photo of one of our dedicated fans who thinks Geoff is really a stud muffin.

 

Some of the latest tunes can be found on our Myspace page. Also there is more current information there usually, as it is easier to update than this page.

And there are more songs here>>Audio Candy

 

And there are songs here on Folk Alley.

We have two CDs available for purchase. Email us for details. Examine the merchandise here.

 

More about the OSB:

Evidence suggests that most people do not care about music at all (especially in socially retarded areas like

Spokane). Some even find it annoying. If you enjoy these remarks then click here for more good reading.

 

A typical musician in Spokane Washington (the city

of lukewarm applause except at sports events)

 

We take a holistic approach to music, accounting for the potential for interconnectedness of all

things, real and imagined. Motto: We are damned good, but we don't let it go to our heads.

 

Influences include artists we like, styles of music we cannot play, books we have read,

movies we've seen, people we've known, weather, events, physics, politics, sociology,

theology, astrological forecasts, and many other subjects on which we are incredibly

ignorant yet maintain strong opinions.

 

Our mission is to bring happiness to every pair of ears. We even did it with 7 band members

for awhile, but the $100 performance fees were difficult to divide among the members. (The

math was too difficult.)

 

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF HISTORICAL PHOTOS


OSB circa 2000: L to R: Steve, Phil, Geoff, Keith

We have performed for such venues as clubs, coffeehouses, festivals, weddings (including Mormon weddings), and nudist conventions. Some of the nude photos can be found here. These images are guaranteed NOT to cause eternal torment in the hereafter by a guy with a red suit and a pointy goatee!!!
