Ollie (vocals, lyrics, rhythm guitar); Jono (backing vocals, lead guitar); Matt (drums); and Vangel (bass) share a love for music by Jack Johnson, John Mayer, the Kooks and Alt-J. Their music is a blending of the chilled vibes of the Beautiful Girls and the toe-tapping beats of Jet.
Their EP, Kill it or Face it, is all about the choices they had to make to get to where they are. The road to recognition isn't easy. The boys had to decide whether to kill the dream, or dig their heels in and face the beast. They did just that. From Old Manly Boatshed, to Surry Hills, they've stuck it out, and they're only sounding better.
Along with upcoming shows across Sydney, you can find the boys online. OGB's YouTube channel, Slice is set to showcase recording sessions with other emerging local artists, such as Cuzn and the Northern Beaches's Rufflefeather. Encountering, again and again, the limited opportunities for exposure, Ollie reached out to industry friends and professionals and curated the Slice Sessions. Their first session was filmed at Sydney's The Gut, which they'll be launching soon, along with their first Music Video on March 23rd.
Never seen OGB live before? Neither has Ollie - he's often singing with his eyes shut and his heart hangin' off the end of his sleeve
Part-time astronaut, part-time improvisationalist. But Jono is also a full-time player - just call him Mr. Tasty Guitar
Slicing up the Ice Hockey rink in his spare time, Matty brings the funk in spades on the OGB stage - groove central
You can find Vange hangin' out amongst the records at the music store, when he's not playin' some sweet bass himself, of course
