OSO

About Me

Officially, OSO is a band formed in Miami by Mike Montero, and Felipe Troncoso was its first member as bassist back in the spring of 2005. The affable Alfredo Manzur joined on guitar and keys in early '06 and Lorena Perez closed the circuit by bringing the beat correct in the fall of '06.
If you're still reading, OSO makes music that's reminiscent of 60's psychedelic rock, 90's alternative, and 70's prog-rock according to some. It's all right even if it's not. The point is they're making music because they love to, because they live to, because it's written in their DNA, because they want to connect and sometimes disconnect, because they're band geeks, because you love it, because music heals and music hurts and it's the earthly thing to do. They hope that if you're here you're enjoying it.
"We love and respect all our friends and hope to see you at a show or share a stage with you someday!" - OSO
