TONIGHT: Oh Darling CD Release Party with Tea For Julie at the Doug Fir

On tonight’s menu are Fir Burgers smothered in Oh Darling’s indie pop rock, and a side of Tea For Julie for good measure. You are gonna kick yourself if you miss the CD Release Party of Nice Nice, Oh Darling’s debut album— show starts at 9pm! Opening for Oh Darling is NW Noise friend Tea For Julie, who will be playing tracks off their sophomore album, The Sense in Tying Knots.

Here’s an excerpt from the Nice Nice album review by my good buddy Justin for NW Noise:

“Oh Darling is no mere backing band for [lead vocal] Jasmine Ash. Each band member contributes heavily to the final project, resulting in ten tracks of beautiful indie pop rock. The album opens with a simple guitar riff on “Shoulda Never” before the rest of the band kicks in, leading to a rocking chorus. Guitarist Daven is actually new to the instrument, having played bass in previous bands and being told he would need to learn a new instrument in order to join Oh Darling… Most songs last no longer than three minutes, leaving the listener begging for more. However, it would be unfair to say that what Oh Darling does on Nice Nice is simple. There isn’t anything conventional about putting together an album this good.”
