Fresh off the release of their debut studio project <a href="spotify:album:0NITgQvG2Di5KhcXrd4ToM" data-name="Now Hear This">Now Hear This</a> in January 2010, The Stereo Bomb were eager to transform their operation into a live production - to translate the “eureka” moments from their NYC bedroom studio sessions to hundreds of party-goers. Not just any setting would do for this coming out party. The boys found a willing host in the college town of Athens, Ohio - the same community that first enthusiastically embraced the group online.
Armed with a pair of APC-40s, The Stereo Bomb descended upon Athens on June 4 for a party no one would soon forget. Set up in the backyard of 27 Mound Street - affectionately known by locals as Mound Eisley - the boys unleashed their brand of sample-based mashups in real-time - pulling source material from their debut album, but also expanding on their repertoire into new configurations and even some sketches of what would ultimately become their final album, 2012’s Fair Play. While certainly not a flawless performance, Live In Ohio captures the group in their most realized state - a true marriage of art and audience.
The Athens Police Department would eventually shut down the proceedings that night, but not before the set was laid to tape. Available previously only in bootleg form, this official release of Live In Ohio is the definitive recollection of this performance.
