THE OOHS are a powerpop alt-rock quartet with densely arranged vocal harmonies. The group started as a songwriting project in 1997, and slowly built into a full band. They have issued three full albums of their own as well as contributing tracks to several compilations & tributes. Their latest album "LLAMALAMP" was released in March 2006. The band performs predominantly in the central Illinois area, but has also participated in the International Pop Overthrow festival in Chicago for seven consecutive years, consistently wowing audiences. Their CDs have sold worldwide, with fans ranging from Europe, Asia & Australia as well as across the U.S. and Canada. Visit The Oohs' website for more info!

The first Oohs album "EAR CANDY" is available as digital download from vendors including iTunes, MusicNet, Napster, Rhapsody, MSN Music, Emusic, MusicMatch, and many more. Their latest album "LLAMALAMP" has begun to surface at many of these vendors as well (including iTunes), with more adding it every day. Look for "SATURDAY MORNING DREAM" to become available as digital download in the near future.

TO OUR POTENTIAL MySpace Friends:
We don't just accept anyone that sends a Request, so follow these simple suggestions:
1. If you've been to a gig, don't expect us to remember you just by sending a Friend Request. Send us a message too, and remind us who you are.
2. Any musical acts that get accepted are either someone we respect or like (and may even actually know). Don't take it personal if we don't accept you. Geez, it's just MySpace!
3. Don't bother trying to send HTML comments as we have blocked them - there are too many jerks phishing as well as those that think they need to advertise themselves on other people's profiles. Not here, thank you.
Thanks so much for your cooperation.
