About Me



Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net

OLOSPO is a rock and/or roll band from Dallas. We sometimes rock, we sometimes roll. People call us a variety of different things. We play and sound like a variety of different things. If you've heard us, then you know. If not, check it out, it's hard to describe. Call it what you will, it is what it is...we're just not exactly sure what that is. It's music. We've been together for about six years and we've made three albums, toured the country, broken up, got back together, played to both sold out theaters and empty dives...it's been a fun ride so far and we're still here.
