		Yoshimi, singer-guitarist for the Osaka, Japan based OOIOO, names a more surprising source of inspiration: "I was influenced by my dog's breathing," she says.
		In 1997 Yoshimi, who has been the drummer for the Japanese rock group The Boredoms since 1988, hooked up with three friends for a magazine photo shoot in which they posed with guitars and pretended to be a band.
		OOIOO is what happened when they learned to play and became the real thing.

		If you want to look at OOIOO for its patterns, you'll find them both in the band's name and in their quirky loops of sound.
		It's more like OOIOO set out to make a blanket and ended up with a Juicemaster.É the manic experimentalism of the Boredoms seems to be boxing the avant-grrl relentlessness of Free Kitten.
		OOIOO will be bringing their alpha-numeric magic across the Pacific this March for a full US tour

	Nippop \| OOIOO \| Profile
		Pronounced "oh-oh-eye-oh-oh", OOIOO expands on the tribal, repetitive areas sometimes explored by the Boredoms in a dynamic beat driven music that defies categorization, but contains elements of trance, new wave, and free-form jazz.
		Starting out as a fictional band, cobbled together for a 1996 photo shoot for Switch magazine, OOIOO had the uncommon privilege of playing their first shows opening for Sonic Youth when they toured Japan.
		Excluding Yoshimi, who handles guitar and vocals in the group, the members of OOIOO (Kyoko on guitar and vocals, Maki on bass, and Yoshiko on drums - they don't go in for family names) had limited musical experience when they released their first album in 1997.

		OOIOO features Yoshimi, one of the most interesting avant-rock artists making music today.
		Thrust into the spotlight in 2002 when she was made the "theme" of the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, she has responded with her most diverse and interesting work to date with Kila Kila Kila.
		OOIOO played their first shows opening for Sonic Youth in Japan around this time and have since released two records in the states- OOIOO (Kill Rock Stars, 1998) and Feather Float (Birdman, 2001).

		OOIOO began as a fictitious band for a photo shoot for Switch magazine in 1996.
		Yoshimi is joined in OOIOO by the striking Kayano on guitar and vocals, the petite and powerful Maki on bass, and the amazing Yoshico on drums.
		OOIOO toured the United States in 2004 for the first time in over five years in support of their recent release, Kila Kila Kila.

	OOIOO: Feather Float: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		For those unfamiliar, OOIOO is a band featuring Yoshimi P-We, one-half of the drum section of the Boredoms.
		The Boredoms are unmitigated genius, which may include joy, but OOIOO are unmitigated joy, which needs not include genius.
		OOIOO-- simple syllables which seemingly emanate a sense of awe, or release.

		OOIOO is the newest project from our Sweetheart of Japanese Noise, Yoshimi.
		OOIOO put Yoshimi at the front of the stage as singer, guitarist, and trumpeter (!), and it satisfied the curiousity of fans like Squid who always wondered about her other talents.
		While we weren't sure about their pairing with OOIOO, (the first time we saw them was opening up for Acid Mother Temple, which was perfect), it was great to see them reaching a larger audience.

		OOIOO is perhaps the best known side project of Japanese rockers Boredoms.
		Founded by Boredoms drummer (and sometimes trumpeter and vocalist) Yoshimi P-We, OOIOO employs many of the same tricks as the better known Boredoms.

		Second, it is the work of Yoshimi of either Boredoms fame or pink robot battler fame, depending on which end of the rock spectrum you hail from.
		Third, like the Boredoms and that Flaming Lips record, when OOIOO is on, its on fire, and when its not, its like a disaster.
		I guess all that means is that OOIOO is some kind of avant-prog.

		OOIOO (pronounced oh-oh-eye-oh-oh linguistics fans) is the all-girl quartet headed up by Yoshimi of The Boredoms (also immortalised in song by The Flaming Lips).
		OOIOO seem hell bent on pushing the boat out sonically and trashing any kind of genre convention.
		If I’m making it all sound arty, laboured or pretentious, then I am doing OOIOO a great disservice, as this album bounds along with energy, joy, innovation and is very danceable for a left-of-centre rock album thanks to some awesome drumming.

		Kila Kila Kila is the newest release from Japan’s category spliting OOIOO (pronounced oh-oh-eye-oh-oh) and their first for Thrill Jockey.
		Thrust into the spotlight in 2002 when she was made the "theme" of the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.
		For their first single, they’ve enlisted the help of Yoshimi of the Boredoms & Ooioo, resulting in one of the most off-beat, drum heavy pop singles to pass through DFA's doors.

		We think of music as a cuddly quilt: it keeps us warm; it gives us a sense of security; it has a pattern that may not always match other patterns, but even in its disparity, the formula is familiar and reassuring.
		However, if you want to look at OOIOO for its patterns, you'll find them both in the band's name and in their quirky loops of sound.
		OOIOO give another face to the kitsch world of Japanese noise rock.

	ooioo
		The detritus of a mock fashion shoot inspired by Boredoms drummer and hornist, Yoshimi P-Wee blossomed into the strange hybrid known as OOIOO.
		Yoshimi and her gathering of avant-fashionistas indulges a particularly groovy sort of nervy ambiance - chock full of bird sounds, strange electronica, fun/banal lyric repetitions, Japanese chants and exhalations, stinging guitars, and a drum solo to boot.
		OOIOO's novelty, earnest inventiveness, and natural propensity to rock makes Feather Float a delight.

		OOIOO have made their rounds over the years by releasing all their albums on different labels.
		While the album may be a year old already (it was released in Japan last year), OOIOO continues with their multicolored and fragmented sounds in the same fashion as we've previously heard.
		This the first OOIOO album I have heard in full, but it is totally awesome.

		OOIOO: Yoshimi P-We of the Boredoms formed this all-girl band, after putting out a few solo 7"s that are very cool.
		In the Boredoms, she is one of two drummers, also contributing trum- pet and Liza Minnelli vocals.
		In OOIOO (pronounced "oh-oh-eye- oh-oh"), she's one of two guitarists, as well as singer, trum- peter and general noisemaker with various electronic toys.

	Baltimore City Paper: MUSIC OOIOO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Yoshimi P-We's career as avant-collaborator has developed in some pretty heady company (Boredoms, Sonic Youth), so it comes as little surprise that a female group she assembled for a 1996 magazine article about a fake band would immediately go on to perform and record.
		Thus the birth of OOIOO, and its fourth album, Kila Kila Kila, finds the band at its most seductive and sunny.
		Colorfully felted in a multitude of textures, Kila Kila Kila could very well be the soundtrack to Fraggle Rock--hyperactive Muppets let loose in the underground, happily chewing on candy villages.

		She has a voice like a whistle and drums like a runaway train.
		OOIOO is her latest band, and sounds similar to latter-day Boredoms (more atmospheric than noisy).
		In any case, OOIOO still are pushing boundaries and taking a few prisoners for nostalgia's sake, so be sure to check them out.

	BBC - Experimental Review - OOIOO, Kila Kila Kila
		Some of ooIoo used to be in Japanese art punk terrorists The Boredoms, but they are a different kind of animal, the kind you want to sit in your lap and pet.
		Don't be put off by the first track ("Kila Kila" itself) where someone in a bad temper attacks a keyboard for a minute and a half.
		ooIoo are the opposite side of the coin to the aural terror of the likes of Black Dice: joyous, playful and surprisingly relaxing.

		Yoshimi of Boredoms/Free Kitten on guitar and vocals, Kyoko on guitar and vocals, Maki on bass, and Yoshiko on drums recognize no one musical style but manage to touch on nearly all of them.
		OOIOO has always been the best outlet from Yoshimi to articulate her unique talents, and the swirling, dreamy tunes of Kila Kila Kila are the most skilled showcase of her vision as an artists to date.
		Kila Kila Kila is a perfect combination of the chaotic poppy grooves for which Yoshimi is known, and the psychedelic freak-outs of the Boredoms.

	Ink 19 :: OOIOO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		During one of my previous attempts to review this album, I came up with the analogy that OOIOO is what Tortoise would sound like if John McEntire was an insane Japanese woman.
		The spastic recess anthem "On Moni," the amorphous, expansively epic "Aster" (which plays out like a little sister to Tortoise's "Djed") and the chirping electronics, cascading piano and slipstream drums of "Anuenue Au" are all testaments to this, and affirm OOIOO as a vital post-rock presence.
		These songs make for excellent background or foreground music while the rest of the album might be better enjoyed at a distance, like from somewhere slightly over the horizon.

		OOIOO brings out more organic instrumentation on this record, distancing themselves even further from the glitch-tronics of "Feather Float".
		Along with Wolf Eyes, OOIOO is pushing the underground music scene, previously relegated to the pages of Bananafish magazine, to the quasi-mainstream realm of indie.
		Whether this is a good or bad thing will, I’m sure, be a subject of much debate.

		It appears that OOIOO, Boredoms drummer Yoshimi P-We's side-project, had released Cococoooioo, a career-retrospective of their time on Yamantaka Eye's ShockCity imprint.
		But as ridiculous as the principal is, the end result is a strong cross-section of the band's ever-changing sound.
		Yoshimi manages to keep things concise and to the point here; thankfully, no song breaks the 8-minute mark, and the included tracks usually stay away from the repetitiveness that have occassionaly weighed down their output in the past.

		It's not surprising that beneath this veneer of womblike ecstasy, Feather Float is disarmingly challenging, especially given that the driving member of OOIOO (pronounced "oh-oh-eye-oh-oh") is Yoshimi, hailing from Japanese noise merchants the Boredoms and Kim Gordon's (Sonic Youth) blistering Free Kitten.
		But this, their second recording, is more Slits than Sex Pistols, more Ghost (meditative, psychedelic Japanese guitar wizards) than Boredoms.
		Built on rhythmic and vocal layers, there is a tribal element to OOIOO, as modern looping techniques and ancient drum sounds collide in frenetic Dionysian revelry.

	The Other Music Update
		For an OOIOO album, the third in this band's lifespan, "Kila Kila Kila" begins modestly.
		Mostly though, strings lead this album down less psychedelic, more avant-garde tributaries thanks to guest players on the cello, violin and contrabass on "On Mani," and the almost all ambient "Aster" (well, at least the first seven minutes of this 15 minute ringer).
		No matter what direction OOIOO takes within or into the next song, the playfulness of this group has always been a good guide.

	* Dusted Reviews - OOIOO *
		This is all before a beat drops back in, thus guiding the track in and out of some heavily psyched-out noise territory and a final shot of sound towards the heavens.
		The final track ties together the remaining threads of OOIOO's hour-long bliss-out, with cascading piano lines and familiar twinkling guitars running the gamut over some open-ended drum lines.
		And while none of this could remotely be considered "pop music" (even in the most expanded sense of that term) one would be hard-pressed to find a listener who considers the cymbal crashes, guitar drones, and other random sounds to be noisy and not uplifting in the least.
