The recent weekend saw a remarkable reunion of three influential bands that once shared ties with the Exploding in Sound label. Ovlov, Grass is Green, and Speedy Ortiz embarked on a mini-tour, gracing venues in Somerville, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia. The Brooklyn concert, held at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, featured an additional act, Low Healer, adding to the evening's vibrant atmosphere.

During the Brooklyn performance, Ovlov showcased their collaborative spirit by inviting fellow musicians to join them on stage. Devin McKnight from Grass is Green contributed vocals to "Blue Baby," while Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz lent her voice to several tracks, including "Where’s My Dini?," "Grapes," and "Chicken Coop." Former Speedy Ortiz drummer Mike Falcone also made an appearance, performing on "I Got Well." This blend of talents created a unique and unforgettable setlist that delighted the audience.

The collaboration between these bands highlights the enduring bonds within the music community. It underscores the value of friendship and cooperation in creating memorable musical experiences. Such events not only bring joy to fans but also serve as a testament to the power of unity and shared passion in the arts. These performances remind us that music thrives when artists come together, fostering creativity and mutual respect.
