Melbourne Folk Darlings Oh Pep! Sign To Village Sounds & Announce National Tour

While 2015 was a big year for Oh Pep!, 2016 is looking huge for the Melbourne duo.

The terrific twosome of Olivia Hally and Pepita Emmerichs have just signed to the Village Sounds agency, which has on its books such luminaries as Vance Joy, Megan Washington and Courtney Barnett, among others.

In March, they will be making their way to Austin, Texas, for the world-famous South By South West festival.

The pair have been wowing audiences since 2012 with their brand of folk/pop/roots gorgeousness, managing to pull themselves a Young Folk Performer Of The Year gong at Canberra's 2014 National Folk Festival and scoring air time in Canada, the UK and the USA.

Following their stint abroad for SXSW, Oh Pep! have also announced a six-date national tour in April in support of their third EP, Living.

The pair will play Wednesday 6 April at The Jade Monkey in Adelaide, Friday 8 April at the Northcote Social Club in Melbourne, Sunday 10 April at The Polish Club in Canberra, Wednesday 13 April at the Black Bear Lodge in Brisbane, Thursday 14 April at 5 Church Street in Bellingen and Friday 15 April at The Oxford Art Factory Gallery Bar in Sydney.

Living is out now via Barely Dressed/Remote Control; vinyl format is up for pre-order now.
