Biography

Since their 1996 formation in the Bay Area of California, Out Hud has played a complex but danceable brand of indie rock with debts owed to disco, dub, and post-punk. Prior to their 2002 debut album for Kranky, the group released a number of vinyl-only singles and EPs (for Red Alert, Dead Turtle, GSL, and 5 Rue Christine), built a small word-of-mouth following through their live shows -- which often caused otherwise sessile indie rockers to dance -- and relocated to New York. The group consists of bassist Nic Offer, cellist Molly Schnick, guitarist Tyler Pope, and drummer/vocalist Phyllis Forbes; they are also aided by mixing board operator Justin van der Volgen. Offer, Pope, and van der Volgen share membership in !!! (pronounced "chk chk chk") as well. Let Us Never Speak of It Again, the group's second album, was released by Kranky in early 2005. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Out Hud was an electronic band formed in 1996 in the Bay Area of California and later based in New York City. The band consisted of guitarist Nic Offer, bassist Tyler Pope, cellist Molly Schnick, vocalist/drummer Phyllis Forbes and mixer Justin Van Der Volgen. Pope, Offer, and Van Der Volgen are also members of the similar band, !!!. Their first album, S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D. was instrumental. For their second album, Let Us Never Speak Of It Again, the group added vocals to their music, with Forbes singing lead while a drum machine filled in her usual role, assisted with Schnick on backing vocals.

Shortly after the release of their second album it was announced that Pope would not be joining the band on tour, and instead would be concentrating on James Murphy's dance-punk band LCD Soundsystem. It was then announced in September 2005 that a concert in New York might be their last show.[1]

Molly Schnick is now solo artist Jean on Jean. She released her self titled debut album in 2008 on Kanine Records.

The song "How Long" was featured in the movie I Know Who Killed Me starring Lindsay Lohan.
