Oh Pep!

Olivia Hally and Pepita Emmerichs met in music secondary school in Melbourne, Australia, draw together by a shared love of songs with no boundaries or expectations. The duo, now both 25, have since unveiled three EPs, but it's their debut album, Stadium cake, released in July 2016, that truly showcases Hally and Emmerichs' uniquely compelling colaboration to date. Oh Pep! have been bringing their recordings to the stage for the last few years, first trekking around Australia and then touring internationally since early 2015. They've performed at key festivals including CMJ, SXSW, Primavera, Glastonbury and Nashville's Americana Music Festival, and on the airwaves for Seattle's KEXP and NPR's Tiny Desk. KCRW named Oh Pep! an artist who 'won' CMJ and NPR's Bob Boilen proclaimed that "the Melbourn band's music is infectious. Their harmonies are sweet, with lyrics that are thoughtful, deep, funny and poetic." Stadium Cake has earned the duo critical acclaim from likes of Rolling Storne, NPR, The Village Voice and Stereogum. In Australia it won 'The Age Music Victoria Award' for Roots Album of the Year. Oh Pep! toured Europe for the first time supporting Lake Street Dive and Basia Bulat, and in North America with Natheniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Lord Huron, Mountain Goats and Valerie June. Oh Pep!'s Sophomore album will be released in the fall of 2018. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
