Everybody Uh-Oh

A mixture of the quirky psych-pop sensibilities of the Elephant 6 bands (particularly the Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel and Of Montreal) and the more studied coolness of Yo La Tengo or the American Analog Set, Champaign-Urbana Illinois quartet Everybody Uh Oh plays a unique blend of psychedelia and slowcore that combines the best qualities of both while avoiding each style?s excesses. The group formed in the summer of 2000, with singer and guitarist Jeremy Keller, guitarist Chris Pogorzelski and drummer Anwin Neil Deguia coming from a short-lived group called the Great Communist BBQ, adding bassist Kavin Chan to finalize the lineup. After two years? worth of local and regional gigs, Everybody Uh Oh released their first album, Man Am I Brad, on the Chicago-based indie Arbor Vitae Records in September, 2002. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
