oh-ok was an athens, georgia band that formed in 1981. the original oh-ok lineup: linda hopper (vocals), lynda stipe (bass) and david pierce (drums) were notable for their lack of guitar or keyboards. the unusual sound combined with the non-linear lyrics by hopper and stipe, percolating bass melody lines by stipe and the dance-oriented drumming by pierce, created a unique stripped-down pop sound that was critically praised by robert christgau of the village voice. with only 5 songs and barely a month old, the trio toured new york and new jersey in the summer of 1981 with local band pylon. on that tour, the band played at the venerable new york club danceteria to a sold-out show. by the fall of 1981 oh-ok was invited to record with atlanta record label db recs. the band's "wow mini-lp", a 3-song 45 rpm record, which included "lilting", a 59-second pop-dance song, gave them national and international radio play on many alternative and college stations. after touring to support the record, pierce left the band and david mcnair joined the lineup as a drummer. after several temporary lineup changes, the band incorporated a guitar sound with the addition of matthew sweet. his songwriting, performing and recording skills pushed the band into traditional rock music territory with the band's album "furthermore what".
