NYC Oppenheimer
Click above to watch QuickTime (60 MB)
On the opening night of CMJ’s Music Marathon, Oppenheimer, a duo from Belfast, Ireland, took the stage at Tonic on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. In a 45-minute set, Rocky O’Reilly (guitars, keys, percussion, Mac) and Shaun Robinson (vocals, drums, keys, guitars) invaded the venue with perfectly-fused harmonies, synthesizers, even an ‘air-horn solo.’ Robinson also entertained with quirky interludes between tunes (i.e., informing the audience that M.O. is an homage to Special Agent Dale Cooper and Laura Palmer of Twin Peaks, while Breakfast in NYC is about hashbrowns and hotcakes). Like J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the first nuclear bomb, the power of this atomic-pop orchestra is of limitless proportions.
