O.N.K. is a 9 piece ska band from Los Angeles who formed 2002. This band's original intent was to be a four piece skunk band with the founding members being, of course, Oscar, Gilbert, Victor, and Bobby. That intent would later change after the addition of a horn section. The band, including the horn section, was formed around the time the ska scene seemed to be fading and the punk scene was pogressing. It was as though the backyard ska scene was coming to an end, but the we continued to practice and play regardless of the scenes situation and the lack of organization backyard shows had at the time. The first of the horn section to join was Adrian, who had little experience or confidence upon his arrival. The second to join was Josh, who graciously joined even though ska wasn't his preferred style. Noe came next, but soon quit to join Left Alone, although we were shocked, we held no grudges for said band. The last of the horns to join, and stay, was Billy who, luckily, has had experience with other ska bands. Other's would join, but were let go, if not fired, due to lack of dedication.
In 2006 O.N.K. finally released our first album which was soon followed by the resignation of Gilbert, our lead singer. Charlie M. becomes lead guitarist. ONK left our home of the South Central Scene and found a new home in the San Fernando Valley, and Pacoima.
In 2007 We lost Victor to the INS. Billy became a US Marine and Alex leaves the band. and forced us to take a break for a year while the bands re-group the remaining members work went to school played with side projects etc. but still kept in touch w/ each other in search to re-group we found a new drummer Danny who at the time had left (violencia Domestica) and a new guitarrist Danny (The Offtones) Practicing and playing a couple of shows Gilbert had a new project (Cafe Con Tequila) but decided to comeback to O.N.K. and our reunion show on Jan. 18 2008. Charlie leaves the band and jams on the bass for (La Infinita Protesta)
2008-09 ONk adds a new horn Section with Emilio (Anesthesia) followed by Anthony (Anesthesia) a few months later. Adrian leaves the band to pursue a new career on guitar.ONK records a new demo for upcoming album "TODO POR CONTROL" which it is still being developed explaining the long struggle a band has to endure and experience in becoming a band. Josh was let go and we hope him the best with all his projects. ONK goes to Riverside and records "NENA JUAREZ" & "OTOUSAN" Adrian and Charlie rejoin the band and that is the story so far...........
