Oh No! and the Local Band!!!



Today's band has quite possibly one of the best names I have seen in a long time. Oh No! and the Tiger Pit will be playing Thursday, Sept. 28, at The Shamrock. The show is at 10 p.m. and admission is $5.

They have a "rough-around-the-edges" high-energy indie rock feel to them. Guitars thick with distortion and shouted vocals bring an almost old-school punk feel to their sound. They made a name for themselves locally by covering obscure songs from various different genres that one would not expect them, or any other band for that matter, to cover. Oh no! And The Tiger Pit are on a Gainesville independent label, Orange Records.



What I believe will make them a staple of local acts in Gainesville, however, is their original material. They recorded a six-track EP at the Morningbell studios with Orange Records in late July. It's expected release is sometime this fall, but you can take a listen to some of their tracks on their myspace page.
