Biography
Brooklyn NY, United States (1997 – present)
The most striking and consistent aspect of Oneida’s music is their use of and fascination with repetition. Their 2002 LP, Each One Teach One, for instance, begins with two especially long tracks,
Sheets of Easter and Antibiotics, the former over fourteen minutes long, the latter more than sixteen.
Both of these songs are composed of one repeated riff (with a few short interludes on Antibiotics). In addition to the use of repetition Oneida’s music can be distinguished by the bandmember’s extensive use of and enthusiasm for antique keyboards and analog electric pianos. Originally recording on Turnbuckle Records (their first two albums in 1997 and 1999), the band now runs Brah Records, an imprint of Jagjaguwar (Jagjaguwar group at Last.fm). In September 2007 the group celebrated 10 years of existence with a concert at the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in NYC.
The current lineup is:
* Kid Millions - drums, vocals participated as drummer 53 in the Boredoms 77 Boadrum performance which occurred on July 7th, 2007 at the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park in Brooklyn, New York
* Bobby Matador - organ, guitar, vocals
* Hanoi Jane - guitar, bass
* Double Rainbow (aka Phil Manley of Trans Am and The Fucking Champs) - guitar
* Shahin Motia (of Ex Models) - guitar

Cracking show in London last week. Opened with Sheets of Easter (that's me contented for the rest of my life then), went off into an odd greatest hits including the mildly obscure Summerland and (I forget the name) one of the tracks from disc 2 of Rated O. Closed with a stripped-back but amazingly groovy Up With People. Satisfied me to no end.

I wouldn't really consider 57,000 listeners as "So few". Far from it, if you ask me.
