Chris Hargrow: He's the one that plays the guitar really good and makes weird noises and he sings on a few songs.
Paul Spivey: He does this thing where he beats drums with sticks. It's pretty cool.
Greg Wagner: He plays the guitar that only has four strings and he also sings a lot of the songs. Sometimes at the same time.
Influences
Numerous influences from three different people may be too many to mention and might not make much sense when you hear our music. It is our hope that no particular influences come through too strongly but all combine to create a unique sound.
Chris played in Everythings Gone Green, Something, Black Cherry & Garage Sale. Paul Played in Everythings Gone Green, The Spectacles & Something. Greg played in Black Cherry & Garage Sale.
Finally, the three decided to come together as one unit and played their first show in November 2001. And it's been love ever since.
Here's the complete discography, collect them all!:
The Truth About Ocelots (2002)
The Truth About Christmas (2004)-limited edition ep; out of print
If Lightning Strikes Us Both (2005)
The Cellar and the Ghost Have Let Us Down (tba 2007)
Well the new song posts are easily the best thing to happen to me on this Fourth of July, lol. I see I've been removed from the top friends, though, which makes it a bit bittersweet. Come on guys, was my singing... THAT bad? lol.
I already knew "Fight a Tiger" well, obviously, but no joke guys, "This Elephant's Not Thirsty" and "The Truth About Sailing" are absolutely fantastic. Every time I hear new Ocelots material, I don't know what to say other than "thank you." So guys, thank you.
Hey Motherfuckers, Go see our friends at JJ's on Friday. All the way from Nashville - Ocelots +Tigers Con Queso + Other Bands Go out, get waisted, piss on someone, and sweat! (in that order)
Perhaps climbing trees? Hunting for food? Putting red flags on the sharp rocks so that everyone who decides they should follow will see everything you did not see? Huh? Yeah.
Damnit, I'm still upset. I don't feel any better, lol. In fact, now that I know I could've had a CD of the new stuff, I'm even more upset. Now I'm going to cry myself to sleep yet again. No fair! By the way, when is the actual CD supposed to come out?
You know what happened? Do you Ocelots KNOW what happened? I MISSED the show in Bowling Green. I MISSED IT. Because I thought it was NEXT week. And I could very, very easily cry myself to sleep. In fact, I think I will. I'm already awake for the day, but I'm going to go take a nap, and cry myself to sleep.
I am really upset. I wish someone had given me a call to remind me. I missed both that AND the Redfoot CD release.
I'll never forgive myself....
But seriously. I'm about to just pay you guys money to come here and play. Drop some cash on ya. Ocelots like big soft piles of money, right?
So I just thought I would notify you feline fellows that I filled out some thing where you play songs randomly from your iPod and put them in this list as it plays them for a soundtrack to your life, and on the "Birth of a Child" line of mine, fate (Apple) selected "Everybody Wants MOR" How appropriate is that? Not very. But still, it's funny.
Oh you can count on that my friend. I have missed you gentlemen as well, and missed rocking out at your shows. Actually I believe I have that Friday off from work, which would be my first in months. It must be meant to be, lol. But yeah, I wanted to say I was just listening to you guys' profile version of "Birth of GC," and man, you guys just keep doing it, hitting it right on, time after time. I WANT THE NEW ALBUM! lol. Take care, guys.
There's this band, Artic Monkeys, who have this song, "A Certain Romance", that reminds me of a lot of your newest stuff - most especially Chris' guitar.
Hey what's going on you guys? It's been a while since I've seen or heard from any of ya, so I thought I'd say hey. I wanted to let you guys know that when I recently got my first MP3 player, you guys were one of the very first I had to have on it. Also, I just wanted to say yet again that you guys' music still continues to blow me away, and I still want that new album I've been hearing about for so long. So hurry up, and get another show in Bowling Green! Take it easy.
