Portland: where DIY is still cool after you turn 21...
Oh Darling!
A post on the music blog Cable & Tweed about Oh Darling caught my attention, and I wanted to get this out before I head out to Doug Fir for the Minus 5, Heavenly States and The Dimes show tonight.
Oh Darling is J. Marie, Jasmine Ash and Daven. Their band name comes from The Beatles song by the same name. NW Noise is good friends with Jasmine Ash, so it’s nice to read what Cable & Tweed had to say about the band.
When your band shares its name with a memorable Beatles song, it’s best if you have some serious pop chops. Fortunately, Portland’s Oh Darling fits that description. They’re more than a typical indie pop act, however — Oh Darling also draw from indie rock and dance influences for an upbeat, sugar-sweet final product. The band’s vocal duties fall to singer Jasmine, who is backed by guitar/keys/bass/drums. I’d express surprise at another fine band from Portland, but I think we’re all over that by now.
Never heard Oh Darling’s music? You’re missing out, so we’ve picked their track Shoulda Never to play on NW Noise.
