OBN III's - Worth a Lot of Money LP

Presumably, a good-looking, highly intelligent person like yourself is very familiar with the adage, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Thing is, what might be applicable to a functioning washer/dryer, chainsaw, food processor or high-end vibrator has absolutely nothing to do with the artistic ambitions of a rock’n’roll band worth giving a fuck about. Some might choose to argue the point, but no one is going to mistake the 2015 OBN III’s with a washer/dryer, chainsaw, food processor or high-end vibrator.
It is well established at this point OBN III’s are a vehicle for the songs & performances of Orville Bateman Neeley III. Thru 3 studio albums for Chicago’s Tic Tac Totally, 2 live albums and a impressive pile of 7”’s for sundry global labels, not to mention chaotic live exhibitions that ranged from the slightly confrontational to the very confrontational, the Austin based OBN III’s have long been considered the great angry hope of the U.S. underground. So, you might well ask, "why break something that doesn’t require fixing?”
