Oh My Word! split up some time ago. Oh My Word! were formed in December 2006 by frontman and keyboardist Sleeves. He then recruited OJ to do some other things, who in turn brought along the reclusive Irwin to control the beat automaton. In January 2007, the trio hastily recorded some songs and decided to play a live rock gig! This happened in March, but just before going onstage, Irwin quit! He was hastily replaced by "The Steel Laptop". The gig went well, but the "The Steel Laptop" later repossessed. It was replaced by "Captain Murphy" (aka the Iron IPod). A review of the first gig in Radio Coma Magazine was positive, but predicted the number of OMW! gigs would never reach double figures! OJ and Sleeves set out to disprove this crazy postulation and on 15 Aug 2007 played their tenth gig at the Goo Club, Bognor Regis with good friends the BBB's! The music of Oh my Word! is hard to describe, their beautifully constructed yet ramshackle melodies, broad ranging lyrical content, Sleeves' perfectly timed backing vocals and OJs erratic on stage performance and effortless singing are definite highlights. Like I said at the start, Oh My Word! split up some time ago. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
