We're from Bloomington/Normal, but we are trying to start getting regular shows in Peoria. If you could help us do that, we'd be very grateful. Bar show, house party, bar mitzvah, we'll do it.
The scatterbrained, deconstructionist folk-rock created by Ohtis is a study in contrasts. Crisp, serene strings and soothing vocal melodies flank intense layers of instrumentation and harmony, like a more deliberate and less overdriven Neutral Milk Hotel, or Frank Zappa with a little bit longer attention span.

redneck hecklers are weak
At the sound check for The Skabs and Str8 Sounds a few minutes ago, Bathroom Johnny ended the check by saying, "Okay, we're done now. You can listen to your jukebox. We just wanted to see if we sounded okay."
Some hick biker pussy heckled, "You sound like shit!"
To which I replied, over the mic, loud, so the whole bar could hear: "It sounds like shit, because it IS shit, and now YOU are gonna EAT IT!"
Hick biker pussy: "Sounds like someone's got a smart mouth."
These hillbilly inbreds start trouble, then act like you're the bad guy when you give it right back to them.
Humiliating the redneck nation, one hick at a time.
You guys have any redneck retards at your shows?
redneck story
We haven't gotten many redneck hecklers at our shows, but if you've ever heard of ArsoNick Scum, I once saw a redneck spit on him. He was saying something blasphemous during one of his sets or maybe some anti-Bush, and got spit on. Then, he kept asking for more spit.
Nope, the audiences are usually tame around here, but that's because good bands don't usually play at bars lately. There's actually been a pretty good audience to come out to house parties. Something about a keg AND live music attracts more people than just live music.
give 'em hell vaspers
i'll be joining you real soon
I'll be in my Male Burkha
With your support and jeering, I bet I'll convert at least 15 rednecks to wearing Subservient Male Attire, see if I don't!
