On March 11, the troupe of OhBree will release its new EP Feed Me Poison. The album's first single, “Manfish,” embodies the group’s zany, humor-laden style. It’s a twisted brand of art-pop/rock that captures a youthful and at times, cartoonish joy that will make you crack a smile and add it into your rotation. OhBree will also be playing an EP release show on the evening of the the record's arrival at Lavender Town as part of the Bernie Sanders benefit Berning Man, which also includes Birthday Ponies, Dead, Fidel SUN, Howlish, and Mumblr.

Cigarette eating, red-painted (blood-smeared) faces, eggs cracked atop of heads, and smashed ukuleles, the new music video for “Salt” by OhBree matches the band’s eccentric yet contagious art-pop aesthetic. The group's playful, oddball, circus sound delightfully twists and echoes in one’s head. On August 27 at PhilaMOCA, OhBree will celebrate the vinyl release of their 2014 LP Death by Broomstick. The show will also feature Dead Tenors’ APES record release (as they go on an indefinite hiatus), as well as Upholstery and Ganou.

 Folk-rock quartet Dead Tenors has released a new song “Jailbird”.  Featured on the band’s forthcoming release APES, the song incorporates a one-sided confessional monologue with tension relieving instrumental backlash. Currently on the road, the band returns home for their record release show August 27 at PhilaMOCA with at Upholstery, Ohbree, and Ganou.

Tormenting yet playful like some delightfully twisted subconscious dream concoction, where slightly off-kilter becomes the status quo, OhBree will be performing tonight at The Fire. With songs that tap into a theatrical/dramatic with quirky, catchy lyrics and instrumentation that varies from bright, cheery keys and horn combinations to more heavily clouded, grey mood makers, you can't help hearing the influence of local favorites Man Man. Like their forefathers, OhBree warps listeners into their musical world, and it’s a compelling place. Joining OhBree on the bill will be Mike Bell's previous incarnation Mike Bell & The World’s Most Unremarkable Band, as well as local pop-punk outfit The Goodbye Party (featuring Michael Cantor of The Ambulars) with New York’s Gladshot completing the bill.
