Artist History Started as a three peice between two brothers Josh, & Jeremy, and a cute girl named April 6 years ago, the band was originally named "Platonic Love." The name came from an inside joke between Josh and a girl in Kansas. Over the years the band has gone through a number of members and has played shows all over southern California. In 1998 the band was asked to appear on Velvet Blue Music's compilation and recorded their single "The Superman Song" (which has nothing to do with Superman) at Bob Moon's infamous studio in Riverside. The band recently changed its name to "OK Assassin" because of some difficulties with the original band name. The current incarnation of the band happened when Josh found Mike and Jonathan through want ads (and after trying out half a dozen drummers and bass players). The band has played all over Orange County, Los Angeles and various other places here and there including Koo's, Chain Reaction, and The Glasshouse.
