Hi Chris! Nice to know that there are more Californians out there...

From a moderately in-the-know source, the band is currently almost defunct. For those who don't have a clue who they are, OATh are a fairly wonderful tight vocal act from the Northern California Renaissance Faire scene... they have been trying to regroup, but I don't believe that their efforts are meeting with much success (anyone else from this particular scene who's heard anything from 'Hard Times' is more than welcome to post. I'd love to find out what's up with them). In any case, their rep tends towards vocal arrangements of traditional English folk songs, with occasional forays into whatever sounds good. They're a local phenom, so those of you from outside of this scene probably have no clue... sorry...
