Echo Oh’s – Hot Pockets (Vinyl)

Echo Ohsare an Auckland three piece, recognised as key players in the thriving garage psychscene centered around legendary krd dive bar / venue Whammy Bar.

Formed in 2011 by Yolanda Fagan (bass / vocals) and Guy Forks (guitar), their sound is a thrillingly cinematic clash of spaghetti western guitars, reverb-soaked voice and push / pull bass and drum grooves.

We started because we wrote a song. We saw a VHS cassette in our lounge with a good title (good movie too) It was Million Dollar Hotel – so we wrote a song and named it the same thing. It was about the house we were living in and renting. Living in a damp piece of shit but how because it’s your house/home with your life in it it’s worth a million bucks. It’s a bit cheesy but true -Yolanda.

The band have racked up prestigious supports for the likes ofThe King Brothers,Thurston Moore,Cate Le Bon,The MakeUpandChain and the Gang. They have also taken their salty sounds to festivals such as Goner Fest 14 (Memphis) and Flying Out’s The Others Way festival.
