OXES

Baltimore's OXES hold a title I rarely bestow. They were a truly entertaining instrumental band. Two guitars, one drummer, and a metric ton of entertainment. No vocals needed. I saw them several times and they never failed to bring the rock. Here are some shots from their show at the Pilot Light. They chose to play on the floor instead of the stage. The show became quite interactive. You can see my friend, compatiot, and fellow ASSKRIEG member, Brian, chasing the OXES guys around. Brian used to be a lot more chase-oriented back then.

Don't use wireless guitars if you don't want to get chased.

Cornered by drunks!

Here are a couple of OXES songs that in no way convey the level of smartass the band is capable of.

Okay, maybe this video conveys it. Warning, there are gratuitous genitals in this video. Probably NSFW.

The ultra sexy aluminum gutars played by OXES in these videos are made by my friend Matt. Matt playes in New Brutalism and makes cool stuff. You can learn more about them at Obstructures
