At the core of The O'Lovelys is the dynamic duo of Laura Lee (vocals/synth) and Brooke (keys), collaborators since lunch money days at Hagley Community College. Laura Lee's opera-trained voice is powerful enough to make vultures cry and gargoyles dance with Brooke's ballerina-elegant key work providing a foundation most divine. Supplementing the sound is resident guitar hero Lee Devenish and bringing up the rear is Matt Scobie (ex Black Market Art) on drums, laying down rhinoceros-heavy beats with surgical precision. By their powers combined, they are captains of the O'Lovelys ship and just recently they let the wind in their sails, pointed themselves towards Wellington to record their debut album with Andrew Downes Trident Studios and went hard for starboard. The rest of the 07/08 summer was spent recording at All Plastic Studios with Marcus Winstanley, Jo Veale at Lichfield St and... in Brooke's shed and Laura Lee's bed room. The result is a diverse and endearing selection of pop rock.
