About Me

This trio (named after the famous oldsmobile and popcornmachine) rocks right from the heart of the Ospeldiekse Peel. That's somewhere between Amsterdam, Weert and Eindhoven. Their sound highly depends on their dutch vintage instruments (let's hear it for Egmond!) and the fungus that grows on their amps while rehearsing. Some people call it "Russ Meyer Rock", some call it "Heavy Psychedelica" , some say it boosts their carspeed, and even some say "Pop!"

Anyway.... after the release of the red hot "Meteoor" ep in 2004, lots of gigs, reviews and festivals followed. And after some intensive recording sessions in a studio, livingroom and garagebox and a lot of mixing, editing, and mastering by Pieter Kloos at the Void, a new ep was released: "Sunburned & Brandnew" (april 2006).
