	Conor Oberst stays true to his politics

		At a night entitled ‘An Evening with Conor Oberst’, you are almost expecting an audience made up of an emo-ed up Cilla Black, and Carol Vorderman looking her vampish best.
		Conor moved with ease from spitting bile whilst cheese-grating his fingers; to a tenor country voice and intricate strum.
		Conor even went to the lengths of previewing a song he had written that day.

	Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes) \| The A.V. Club
		Conor Oberst released his first album in 1994 at the age of 14, as lead singer and guitarist of the Omaha, Nebraska indie-punk group Commander Venus.
		Though often lumped in with emo bands, Oberst and his Omaha peers have an even less definable style, though they draw from the same sources: the DIY ethos and refined aggression of '80s D.C. punk, and the diary-like openness of '90s indie rock.
		Conor Oberst: Sure, it affects me. I try to keep the idea that there's an audience in as little space in my mind as possible, but you can't erase it entirely, the idea that when you're sitting down to write a song, people are going to hear it.

	MAGNET Live Review: Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward
		These are the tales Jim James, Conor Oberst and M. Ward shared at Philadelphia’s Trocadero on a recent tour of solo sets and impromptu jam sessions.
		Oberst was later joined by James on acoustic guitar and Ward on keyboards.
		Minutes later, Oberst and Ward crept offstage, leaving James alone with Willie Nelson’s “Always On My Mind.” Ward then followed James’ tribute with one of his own: a solo interpretation of Johnny Cash’s “Flesh And Blood.” For all the young audience knew, both covers were written on the fly backstage.

	Bright Eyes
		Bright Eyes is the pen name of one Conor Oberst who stepped onto the music scene at the delicate age of 14 as part of the band Commander Venus.
		Oberst sounds like something you've heard before, which isn't to say he's not unique; indeed, it would be hard to suggest otherwise.
		Oberst is a remarkable musician and his songs, which are very intimate and personal, are well-crafted and interesting.

		Oberst’s own label, Saddle Creek, which he formed with his brother and a friend when he was seventeen, has seized on his youth as a promotional asset.
		Oberst wants us to know that, kid or not, he’s getting around, and, at the same time, that he’s still as vulnerable as he was when he had to yell in order to speak.
		Oberst, in a tight white tennis shirt and sagging jeans, was in an affectionate mood.

	BELIEVE THE HYPE? CONOR OBERST, OR RATHER, BRIGHT EYES. (via CobWeb/3.1 planet03.csc.ncsu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes is our newest New Dylan -- Beck no longer fit the description, and, c'mon, PJ Harvey's a woman, so that doesn't count.
		Ironically, Oberst's latest records, which have earned him some strong critical thrashings, are actually the first sign of a talent with real potential.
		Less enamored of his talent than he used to be, Oberst has curbed the self-regard, and his generosity towards his subjects shows a willingness to stop staring into the mirror for inspiration.

		Conor Oberst and his ever-changing line up of musical comrades appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,” and were a prominent addition to the MTV2-televised 2003 Shortlist Awards.
		In October of 2004 he was invited to join Bruce Springsteen and REM on an arena tour of swing states in advance of the presidential election.
		The rough edges are still there — the splintering of a note held too long, the crack of the voice as it reaches slightly too far, the inadvertent thump of a thumb against a fret — but there is a glorious new level of depth and texture to the writing and delivery.

		Conor Oberst is a musician from Omaha, Nebraska.
		Conor’s lyrical and musical talent has moved me and i need to shake his hand and tell him how great he is. And that his music is important to me.
		My friend actually played with Conor, his band was the opening act and he said that he saw Conor backstage and all he did was just sit at his keyboard and he was kind of rocking back and forth.

		Conor Oberst's creative utopia finds its pitch in the unlikely locale of Omaha, in the high plains of Nebraska.
		There, Oberst and his ever-growing network of musicians and artists, meet to exchange ideas, collaborate, pat one another on the back, and, presumably, discuss how they've made for themselves a sort of musical oasis that could only be improved if no one ever got sick or died.
		Oberst himself has reinvigorated the singer-songwriter genre, borrowing in equal parts from the confessional style of Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, and the sprawling textures of the Smiths and the Cure, for his work with Bright Eyes and Desaparecidos.

	U-WIRE.com/CD REVIEW: Indie-rock prodigy Conor Oberst breaks even with new releases (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Oberst, for his part, has accepted the role of the romantic songwriting genius of his generation with suspiciously little hesitation.
		Oberst officially hits his stride with "Poison Oak." He runs through a few rhyming bars with nothing but an acoustic guitar, but by the time the band kicks in, his swinging melody looks up proudly and the lyrics seem, for the first time, like Oberst's pushing square pegs into square holes.
		Oberst should be congratulated for releasing two albums for which critics can't pull out the old, "There's only one album of good material here" blather.

		I think he's pretty inspiring as a story, genuinely decent as a human being, and he's got a neat haircut, but he strikes me as a bit of a guitar-pounder who never met a lyric he couldn't overwrite, and you can find a lot of those at an open mike near you.
		Conor Oberst has done more by the age of twenty-four than I'd do with five lifetimes.
		The girls who are into Conor Oberst are more like those long-legged, purple-haired girls you see on the train who are so comically pretty and stylish you can't believe they actually exist, and by the time you get to your stop you've actually courted, dated and married them in your head.

	Montreal Mirror - Music Cover: Conor Oberst / Bright Eyes
		Whether he likes it or not, Oberst is the star of Bright Eyes, being the author, voice and face of the constantly fluctuating collective, the flagship band of Omaha's Saddle Creek Records.
		As his music matured and evolved tangentially, via scores of side projects and collaborations such as his rock band Desparecidos, Oberst's brilliant wordplay and increasingly eclectic arrangements wooed a fair chunk of the populace.
		Conor Oberst: On a lot of the records, you hear the words and the melodies first and the rhythm is secondary, so with Digital Ash, I wanted a sound that was driven by the rhythm and the beat.

		Oberst offers more than pretty laments; he has tapped into something so personal it's become collective and, in a long tradition of great singer-songwriters, supplied his young audience with a soundtrack for their internal and external lives.
		The facts: Bright Eyes is the name of whatever band Oberst, a musician since age 13, chooses for a particular tour or album.
		Oberst smiled, thanked them and toasted their tributes with swigs from a wine bottle.

	Bright Eyes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the band first met with success, Oberst was frequently compared to a young Bob Dylan, due in parts to his age and penchant for social commentary and philosophy.
		Bright Eyes started as a side project of Conor Oberst's while he was the frontman for the indie rock outfit Commander Venus, which featured Tim Casher who later went on to form the band Cursive.
		There are reports that it is not Oberst at all in the interview, but Todd Fink of The Faint doing an impression of Oberst, and that Oberst himself can be heard in the background, swearing and commenting on the interview taking place.

		Oberst and his longtime label Saddle Creek assembled a Katrina victims benefit disc, Lagniappe, featuring Bright Eyes and other Saddle Creek artists, while Stipe, incensed at the government’s response to Katrina, recorded the iTunes-exclusive “In the Sun” charity single.
		Currently Oberst and Bright Eyes are working on a new album due early next year (“It’s about 40 percent done,” Oberst estimates) and gearing up for their first appearance at Bonnaroo.
		Oberst is also occupied with his own record label, Team Love, which recently enjoyed success with Rilo Kiley singer Jenny Lewis’ solo debut and hopes for a similar response to the sophomore platter by Tilly and the Wall.

	The DENVER Anti-Apathy Cluster: Conor Oberst's Occult Working
		That we are not yet (officially) at war with Iran may be an actual testament to the power of Oberst's working.
		Oberst uses poetic descriptions of these two occult forces as his materia prima, channeling the twin powers into a reflective, pseudo-nostalgic account of living in NYC in those fateful years, "looking for something to open up [his] eyes."
		On the surface a fairly pedestrian protest song, but put in the context of the rest of the album, something pretty remarkable.
