Oh, Lenore! makes music with no boundaries. Seriously: their stylistic influences range from garage and prog rock, jazz, baroque, video game soundtracks and lighthearted pop to name a few. What comes out after they throw it all together is catchy indie pop that packs a punch. They’re 4 friends that have known each other for years and have been making music since late 2008.
Oh, Lenore! came into existence after Alec, Alvin and Dylan wrote the most beautiful song and asked Joe to add his percussive expertise. They knew how to play a total of one song together. They exaggerated a bit and said they had a full set of songs about cars so they could play at a Show and Shine, and the rest is history. Afterwards, they forgot how to play their first song and started writing some new ones (none are about cars). The 4 heroes released a demo in early 2009 and a debut EP in January, playing shows around Alberta including the Chinatown Street Festival, the Marquee Room, Vulcan Fest and a sold-out show at the New Black Centre to name a few. They also have an internet following thanks to various band-related comedy sketches on YouTube and Facebook.
The band is currently writing new songs for a forthcoming CD and planning world domination. They plan to play around Alberta while finishing the new tracks and then venture to other parts of North America.
