Oberhofer
Hometown: TACOMA/BRKLYN
Tags: indie, electronica, electronic, indie pop
Oberhofer will be hitting the road with fellow Brooklynites, Matt & Kim, in what is guaranteed to be one of the most energetic tours of the Fall. The band will be heading out on their second national tour of 2012 in support of their acclaimed Glassnote debut LP, Time Capsules II.
Matt from the indie-pop duo says, “We are so stoked to have Oberhofer come on this Fall tour with us! We want every night to be really fun, bad-ass and awesome, for our audience and for us. Oberhofer seems just right to fit the bill.”
Earlier this summer at Lollapalooza, Relix deemed their performance “the breakout star-making set of the festival” with “possibly the best drummer at the entire event.” Time Out praised the set, asking, “is it any surprise these pros-in-training share a label with Phoenix?” The Chicago Tribune thoroughly enjoyed the performance as well, calling it “tight and rowdy, precise but spontaneous,” noting the band “brought showmanship, quality songs and reason to believe in the group’s breakout potential.”

Guardian UK's New Band Of The Day on Oberhofer
6 months agoThis gradiloquent 20-year-old performs what is basically one long emotional outburst about the calamitous effects of love Hometown: Tacoma, Washington. The lineup: Brad Oberhofer (vocals, instruments), with a little help from Pete Sustaric, Matt Scheiner and Ben Roth. The background: Oberhofer is a band, four musicians, three of whom are really just there to help the main man express, as epically and dramatically as possible, his ideas about the crushing, calamitous effects of love. You can probably tell which one's in charge: Oberhofer is, not coincidentally, the surname of the singer, writer and multi-instrumentalist. Only 20 years old, Brad Oberhofer had his heart broken just before he left for NYU, where he is currently studying music theory, and now the kid from Tacoma who they're saying, with his floppy hair and neon clothes, resembles a Day-Glo Marty McFly wants to tell the world all about it....more at guardian.co.uk
