Band History
Olospo is a rock / pop / prog / funk / ska / jazz / blues / noisy-insert-your-cliche-genre-here band from Dallas. The key to Olospo's sound is the energy and excitement they bring to all of their songs. Each band member's individual musicianship and personality are displayed in every tune. Olospo has been together since 1999 and has made three albums, toured the country, broken up, got back together, played to both sold out theaters and empty dives.
The band finally called it quits in 2007 after eight years of making sweet sweet music with one another. Although you will find most of the recent Olospo members still rocking together in The Slack.
