OBN IIIs and Ex-Cult at Mercury Lounge
You go to an OBN IIIs show to feel the band, not listen to them. Frontman (and namesake) Orville Bateman Neeley leads a raucous group of rabblerousers through furiously catchy two-minute punk explosions.
"Taking cues from the psychedelic noise of the 1960’s, the art-damaged post-punk of the late 1970’s, and the aggression and immediacy of early 1980’s US Hardcore, Ex-Cult has curated a sound that audiences nationwide find accessible, yet not quite like anything else they’ve heard." - Bowery Presents
