We
are Oliver North Boy Choir, formerly known as Pierre. A name even the
artful dodgers at Crunchy Frog found too provocative! So, we changed
identity. Who wouldn't?
So, why are we called ONBC? Because we thought that the
face of one of the ugliest, dirtiest and filthiest affairs in American
foreign policy through the years (Oliver North) ought to have a choir
to his appraisal, a.k.a. us.
The Iran-Contra scandal involved the US supporting the Iranians
(while also supporting the Iraqis) in their mutual war, supporting the
Contras in Nicaragua to overthrow the democratically elected government
AND financing the whole charade with a deadly mix of guns and drugs.
Much like us. We just make an equally deadly cocktail of pop and indie
and support both Kylie and Dat Politics.
We're all three from a petty little town in the South, not worth mentioning.
At all.
Ivan and Mikkel knew each other through what in the music business is known as "da groovy and excellent yodel punk".
Not
reeeeeally worth mentioning either. Their top-hit Mr. Rustifil never
even made it to the local radio, Radio Mojn. Thank god for that.
Anyway, this rock solid companionship evolved like
mammals into stars from the Pierre band including Camilla (the sexy
biiiaatch and Mikkel's wife, so stay away goddammmit!) a bunch of sad
songs made on a lousy computer with a dreadful microphone and into this
shining example of "how to be" and "youknowwho". The songs we make now
are also made on a lousy computer and a microphone slightly resembling
the first one. We're just so much cooler now; like robots are cooler
than mankind and motor oil is cooler than olive oil.
Ok, here's a neat detail: ONBC has seen the future.
Instead of loosing a mega bunch of dollars and cents by releasing our
songs in one go on a disc that needs to be shipped and handled and so
on, we'll be releasing songs through iTunes and the likes gradually,
like the sugar dew from the aphis ass, like occasional rain in the
Mojave, like – you know – once in a while.
A single with a b-side is the deal. You'll never stop yearning for those Oliver North Boy Choir products!
Also,
because we have no stinkin' time because of them bloody kids we shan't
be coming to a theatre near you. Sorry. Your ears and imagination will
have to suffice. Maybe one day. But not now.
Facts:
Members are in perfect order: Ivan, Camilla and Mikkel.

In case you are wondering: Yes, it is
Mikkel and Camilla from epo-555 that make up 2/3 of the ONBC. As
Camilla left epo-555 as singer and keyboard-player becasue of her (in
order of appearance) pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, she and
her two choirboys will now focus on recording their singles and
releasing them for downloads only. No albums. No cd's. No touring. No
live gigs. No nothing - apart from sweet sweet music available world
wide shortly after it's conceived and performed.
Their first single "Adrenaline" will be released on
sunday March 4th. Meanwhile you can pre-listen and even download an
exclusive track "Cobra" from their myspace-page.
