Rick Froberg/Sohrab Habibion/Greg Simpson/Alexis Fleisig
Obits, a band based in Brooklyn make great blues punk rock
music. Consisting of indie-rock veterans, Lead singer and guitarist, Rick
Froberg, is a Southern California musician who has played in Pitchfork, Drive
Like Jehu, Hot Snakes and a few other bands and his fellow Obits bandmates, Sohrab
Habibion, Greg Simpson and Scott Gursky
“We’re not into innovation as a band,” says Froberg, “I
think innovation is overrated and an overestimated quality. Anything that’s
going to be original is going to happen without your control. Things that make
your band sound like you, are things you wouldn’t be able to change anyway. We
just go ahead and play the stuff we like, and we don’t worry about originality
per se, because that takes care of itself.”
Having spent the spring storming Europe they return home for
a few shows in August before heading off to Australia.
