The Chicago Punk Database describes ONO as an “Industrial/Avant/Gospel/Noise Band.” Since the early 1980s, founders P.Michael and Travis, with a revolving cast of musicians whose contributions kept ONO’s sound constantly in flux, have outraged and entranced audiences large and small with their unclassifiable performance art rock.

… America is really bummed out: the economy sucks; everyone’s protesting and shit; and the world is coming to an end. From Chicago comes a rush of warm sensations and dance euphoria that will bring the masses together and set them free times nine-eleven. Hold on, America! Pooper, Mr. 666, and Xina Xurner are coming to bail you out on the POPPERS TOUR 2012!
BIOs
POOPER is a grown-ass Native American woman originally from Oklahoma. After surviving a life-threatening bike accident she was bed ridden and turned to electronic music as a creative outlet. She recently released her mind-warping debut album PEYOTE. Pooper wants to be your friend. BFF ‘til the very end.
Michael Perkins aka Mr. 666 is an evil synth genius and a good son. His heavy riffs will envelop your soul and make you cower in dread. MishkaNYC says:
“[Mr. 666’s record is] an awesome doomy Krautrock/Italiano synth masterpiece, riffing along like John Carpenter on speed sailing the seas of an analogue interweb.”
‘Lil elote, Jerk Cobain, and Lolita J. Cornbread join forces as XINA XURNER, to bring you cunty, noisy house music that oozes sex, death, and decay. Xina Xurner has performed at the MDW fair, Hyde Park Art Center, The Mutiny, Chances Pride Party at Berlin, Bitchpork, Permanent Records, and some house parties. Recording is underway for Xina Xurner’s debut album, and a corollary “xine,” featuring writings, artwork, and pornography, is also in the works. Xina Xurner will make you sweat.
