Exohxo was started in the winter of 2008 by Danny Oleson and Jasen Samford. After writing and recording demos with parts for piano and violins, they decided to form a band and bring the songs to life. The live band now features Hiromi Daugherty and Ben Hunter on violins, Jason Jordan playing bass and provding back-up vocals, Kyle Porter on keys/vocals, and Johnny Ogle on drums.

From the blog "Music On Tap"
August 28, 2009-
While the amazing Speaker Speaker is on hold, a couple of the guys from the band (Danny Oleson and Jasen Samford) together with Hiromi Dougherty, Benjamin Hunter, Jason Jordan, Kyle Porter, and Johnny Ogle, have been putting in time on Exohxo, which is decidedly more mellow--but no less delightful. Even though the songs tend toward an orchestral/folk feeling, there are at least a few rocking moments (for example, the end of "Same As Always" and the chorus of "Night Watchman"). "Dirty Plates" (highly recommended) has just a touch of the Weakerthans; the violin and vocals combination on "Beacons" (also highly recommended) reminds me of the best of melancholy mid-60s pop; and "Pink Fades to Gray" and "Untitled Song About Cats" pull in a hint of country twang to emphasize the wistful feel. I know that I have a thing for sad songs, and Exohxo certainly does sad well.
