O'Death are an American Gothic Country band from New York. Borrowing their band name from a traditional American folk song that comes out of Western North Carolina, O’Death draws on traditional folk, bluegrass, punk, gypsy music, metal, swing and jazz stylings.

Grandchildren
From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
First Twin Cities show since since December 2, 2009 • Fifth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since February 20, 2009
From last.fm:
The drums smack you in the face first, like a hailstorm with no sign of letting up. Then, as waves of harmonies emerge unexpectedly, a joyous sensation sets in, as if someone just snapped you out of a fever dream. The beat-driven, orchestral-pop epics unfold like an audio scrapbook of memories from the life of Grandchildren songwriter Aleksander Martray. “I was restless from a really young age,” explains Martray, the son of a high-ranking military officer, born on an Army base in Germany and raised on both sides of the Atlantic.

Milagres
From Brooklyn, New York
First Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:

So he took off, away from the city and his band and his issues… all the way to the coldest, most remote part of British Columbia where he could get some space and breathe. As so often happens in life, he got a little more space than he bargained for – during a rock climbing trip he fell and ended up spending months bedridden with a back injury.
