Artist description OFB42 is a by-product of a group of 30- and 40- somethings searching for the glory days of past bands. This band started assembling in October 2001 with a drummer and a guy who likes to sing. Pieces started adding: a guitar, a cello player turned bass picker, and guy who loves music. These guys form the band, the group, the state of mind - OFB42. How did we arrive at OFB42? Well, it started as a naming process similar to that used to name the big ball fields around the country. We solicited companies and individuals who we thought might buck up to have their product in the band's name, as in CoorsŪ Field, or the PepsiŪ Center. We wanted the money to buy more equipment. There were no takers. So we asked folks that came to our first gig to help us. A few people called us "Old Fat Bast@%d$". This quickly changed to OFB, in deference to the many young children at the party. The 42 came from "Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe," (or was it "Zen and Art of Motorcycle Repair"?). Anyway, read them and you'll find the question. The dancing Buddha is related to our search, the search for the meaning of life. When we look back at the time we have been together, we are searching, we are all searching, and we have found it. The answer to the question is Rock, and playing it loud and in front of people. We do that, we have fun. For now we play our brand of Rock for most anyone that asks.

Music Style Chunky classic rock at its best.
