Starting out as a solo electronic project of long-time Cincinnati music alum Sammy McKee (view-finder, Charlston Entry, Bitter Airplane, and Kaptain), Old City has quickly grown into a dynamic, live trio in the sonic vein of Polvo, Unwound, seBADoh, Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth. You will also hear hints of Guided by Voices, Wussy and even Lou Reed in Sammy's melodic delivery. The band currently consists of McKee on guitar and vocals, Shannon McGee (ex-Fairmount Girls and Opi Yum Yum) on bass AND Dave Cupp (Man Halen, Caterpillar Tracks) on drums. Robyn Roth (Knife the Symphony, Theraphosa) AND Gabriel Molnar (Sometimes, Little Lights, 1000 Arms) have also played a key role in the band's transition from solo act to solid group and informed many of the moods and melodies with their unique approach to the bass guitar.
