WE LOVED YOU ! In Saint Louis. IT was an awesome concert.

i saw you with TMBG in St Louis on Saturday, & now i'm hooked!

I just saw you guys in Boulder. I was the guy with the hat. You flippin' rocked. I've recommended you to my Livejournal F-List, but it was kind of a long entry. Most of the reason was the Twin Peaks song. Do more like that. You know, sheer awesome.

I caught you guys in Portland, OR last night. Amazing show! Great music. I was so impressed I bought the album on iTunes this morning and am telling everyone I know to check Oppenheimer out.

One suggestion: maybe a longer air horn solo

Great show, I hope you enjoy the rest of your tour.

Simply amazing, Rocky and Shaun. If TMBG weren't on their A game tonight in San Diego, you would have stole the show from them! Your music is great. May your success be great as well!

From the "old" grey-haired guy in San Diego.

You completely charmed me last night at SGH at the "Mansion". Music was incredible, stage presence FUN!

I just watched a movie about Robert Moog and am an old woman growing up going to synth rich shows of the 70's. I loved Rocky the Robot's work with the synth's. Plus, you both seemed quite into your performance, nothing looked mechanical. Most importantly for the first time in a while, I saw the whole room moving and enjoying the music. Not just standing and stoiclly taking it in!

Keep up the great work! Loved the airhorns! A must get cd for me!

Cheers!

thank you! it's really amazing to get the chance to play to people who get what we're doing, and where we coming from,
The Moog movie is great... we got to visit the factory last week,
i've been talking about it everywhere!
Rocky.

I found out about Oppenheimer by discovering they were opening for TMBG, then listening to the Breakfast in NYC and Saturday Night music videos several times on YouTube on the days leading up the the concert, to the point that I was more excited to see Oppenheimer live than TMBG.

I Can't believe we're getting into the last 2 weeks of the tour!
It seemed like it was going to last forever when I saw all the dates,
but it's really flying by.
I've been having a great time in every city.

Rocky.

I have been learning about Oppenheimer quite a bit lately. I saw you guys for the 1st time last week opening up for TMBG. I traveled 3 hours to Nashville to get there only to find out that there were no tickets left. I lucked out and found a girl selling hers after being denied access to the show due to lack of her ID. At least I didn't let the ticket got to waste! I rarely get interested enough to listen to the entire show of the opening act, much less actually buy a CD of theirs, but this was one of those rare occasions. I was blown away at the complete and full sound that two musicians can create. The sound reminded me of the great alternative UK music I listened to a decade ago but haven't heard much recently. way to go Oppenheimer. Hope you travel back somewhere near Alabama again sometime soon.

I was blown away by the show in Salt Lake City a few months ago. I really feel like Oppenheimer is one of the most entertaining bands I have ever seen, and the cd is AMAZING!!! I can't wait to see them again...

Please guys, come back to SLC!!!

I saw you guys at the They Might Be Giants show last night in Ann Arbor. Never heard of you guys before that and I must say that I was pretty pleased to hear you guys. Ended up buying the CD last. Thanks for signing it. Listened to it when I got home and the studio version of you sounds just as good as the live version.

Can't wait for the next release.

In Nashville you guys told us about a show where only one guy named Dave showed up and ended up on stage with you guys. Did you ever run into Dave again?
BTW, the show was great!

Saw you guys at TMBG show in Philly on Saturday--great stuff! I had no idea what to expect, but found myself having a serious vocoder blast. I now have the CD...are there any live recordings of "Saturday Looks Bad To Me"? It's great on the recording, but the "pop pop music..." stuff had even more punch at the show!

Agree whole heartedly - The Live show was intense. I caught the HOB show in San Diego. As with some other people here I headed straight to the table in the back and picked up a CD, a rarety for me at most shows.
The CD is studio crisp, but it's something about the "in the moment" Live shows that cary the music farther than my shitty headphones.

I'll get my fix next time your back in California. Thanks for a great show.

I'm thinking about doing something live in the next couple of months.
in the meantime, we recorded live sessions for
woxy.com and daytrotter.com when we were out on our adventures with TMBG last year!

Not to blatently plug the new album - but we spent a long time making sure it sounded as punchy as the live show - hitting more things a lot harder for weeks and months on end... there's a few songs on the myspace -

We can't wait to get back to California!!!
