Under The Cover

A few weeks ago DC9 at Night had this song as a free download from Taylor Young and John Pedigo... better known 'round these parts as The O's.

An upbeat number about how great the people, more importantly the girls, of Bowling Green are. I think even the Everly Brothers would have to give them props for owning this one. Make sure to check out their video for the song and witness the death of their touring van Flaps.

Free Beer With The O's

The O's will perform at Good Records this Thursday at 6p to celebrate the release of their album We Are The O's.  I believe I will be down there amongst the kiddos watching the band...and drinking free beer.    

The O's We Are The O's

The local duo known as The O's have received quite a bit of fanfare since their formation in mid-2008.  More than a fly-by-night outfit, Taylor Young and John Pedigo are no strangers to the local music scene in The D, each playing in bands ranging from The Polyphonic Spree to BAcksliders.

It would be easy to pigeon-hole the duo's first album as roots music.  But, aside from the traditional string instruments they use, this isn't the case--more precisely roots-pop with twangy vocals.  They don't aren't as pop as say, and Alison Krauss record, but, songs like "You've Got Your Heart," "Fast As I Can" and "We've Had Everything" are full of pop melody.  

There are odd moments on We Are The O's like "I Love You So Much" where the singer breaks into a Vaden Todd Lewis wail that goes along with the heart break on the song.  The song has a humor to it like reminiscent of a teenager wailing his love at the top of his lungs to the girl he hearts.
