The quiet kill off the country road, the time before the time when everything went wrong and the last 16 hours of that great love affair are the seminal beginnings of OXBOW.
Designed to be the last aural will and testament of failed humanity, OXBOW actually garnered listeners from among the ranks of the fucked, with their 1990 release FUCKFEST (cfy/pathological). Followed by KING OF THE JEWS (cfy), THE BALLS IN THE GREAT MEAT GRINDER COLLECTION (pathological), LET ME BE A WOMAN (brinkman/crippled dick hot wax) recorded by the estimable STEVE ALBINI, SERENADE IN RED (SST/CDHW) also recorded by ALBINI and GIBBS CHAPMAN (FAITH NO MORE, RED HOUSE PAINTERS), AN EVIL HEAT (neurot) by GIBBS CHAPMAN, LOVE THAT'S LAST (Hydrahead) by OXBOW and the soon-to-be released THE NARCOTIC STORY (Hydrahead) by JOE CHICCARELLI (AGENT ORANGE, BECK, AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB), as well as various singles and dance remixes, OXBOW has met with increasing critical acclaim and popular support.
The OXBOW core membership -- DAN ADAMS/bass, GREG DAVIS/drums, EUGENE ROBINSON/voice, and NIKO WENNER/guitars -- has been supplemented by the subtle stylings of LYDIA LUNCH, KLAUS FLOURIDE, MARIANNE FAITHFULL, RICHARD KERN (SONIC YOUTH et al), JON RASKIN from the ROVA SAX QUARTET, and a string section that would make Barry White wince.
Though claiming San Francisco as their hometown, OXBOW played in England in 1990 and toured Europe and the U.S. in 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2002, and 2003. OXBOW has also performed in Japan, London, Berlin, New York, Vienna, Prague, Portland, Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Gent, and almost every other place people will pay them to hear them play.
your voice is like snakes in the head, that run, in circle run, and that crush in circle crush. your voice is like the dark side of my head, and burns in circle burns, and burns. it burns my favourite band. at all.
You're the most intensive band i have never seen in my live... Now, i've got this strange sensation that i could die quietly tomorrow, because : I SAW OXBOW!
THANKS A LOT GUYS, FOR YOUR GREAT GREAT (but short) SHOW IN PARIS! take care...
Hi guys!!! I just saw you were playing in Brussels this friday!!! Got to see you!! Got to get a ticket!!!! Definitely!!! Will be nice see you here!! Cause i can't make it for Paris...so only option : Brussels!!
I want you to know no one pounds the stage in their underwear muttering oaths and screaming bloody murder better than you guys.
The Narcotic Story is one of my favorite albums of all time. If you'll forgive the term "Rock Opera," it's well...a fantastic Rock Opera! Your songs build incredibly. You've got more intensity than someone about to be executed for a religious crime. Keep making them epic and low and mean and stricken and filthy.

I had a dream with an imagination of your family, Eugene. Everyone was very nice, made delicious food. You were well mannered around your mother, but proceed to curb stomp me after we exited. I woke up in a cold sweat
My head was hot, so i drank some cold water. But then I realized that it was my hair that was making my head hot. So I went to my kitchen and shaved it all off. I didn't want anyone to see.
your music is so pure it's like beyond life. no song to ignore. phantom turmoil gargling from the open guts of forsaken children in erotic palaces...true art thank you all & hope to see you soon john
I fight and I fuck and I don't get along with anyone or anything in the whole wide world...you guys ever playin in LA or San Diego? I never seen you live only on DVD, on the Neurot collection.
