Oppenheimer is an indie pop electronica band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The band is made up of musicians Shaun Robinson and Rocky O’Reilly. Robinson and O’Reilly were previously members of the now disbanded Belfast group, Torgas Valley Reds. They met in 2003, in Belfast. O’Reilly had been mixing sound and recording Torgas Valley Reds, whom Robinson drummed for. Inspired by their mutual love for Moog synthesizers, vocorders, and airhorns, O’Reilly and Robinson formed Oppenheimer in late 2004, using O’Reilly’s spare room to record 3 songs, which they sent to their favourite labels.
Career
The group’s self-titled debut album was released on Bar/None Records in America in July 2006, Shock Records in Australia and Fabtone Records in Japan. It has since been released in the UK via Smalltown America in March 2007, with the initial pressing selling out and currently being re-pressed. It includes a cover of ‘Don’t Call Me’ by Belfast songwriter Tom McShane.
Their first single from the album, a double A-side 7” featuring tracks “Breakfast In NYC”, “Truth Or Dare” and B-side “Getting By”, was released in the UK via Smalltown America in April 2006. A video for “Breakfast in NYC”, directed by Brian Philip Davis was also produced to coincide with the single release, and was made available on the Oppenheimer MySpace page.

Definitely sorry to see them split up. I wish I could make the last show, but Belfast's a bit of a trek. Unfortunate all around.

Such a shame they're splitting up.

Devastated they're splitting up :( But looking forward to Rocky's future stuff, they are both incredibly talented musicians and really showed lazy Northern Irish bands that global superstardom wasn't really light years away, it just required hard work and that is exactly what they did. The success they got was totally earned and they produced two brilliant albums, the debut especially is one of my favourites. All the best to them

they have the best accents i have ever heard. saw them a while ago with ok go. very memorable and they don't take themselves too too seriously. they seem genuinely crazy about their music which is adorable, and i love a band that actually updates their facebook for us non-myspacers. (:

Sour_Symphony,you're absolutely right.But I think that John_Wells was only making a comment...we all know that they rock!

@ John_Wells: I'll neither agree nor disagree with you. I'll just say this: who cares if they ARE ugly? They're awesome musicians. I personally don't stare at photos of an artist when I'm listening to their music, do you? All that matters to me if they can make good music, and Oppenheimer CERTAINLY does not disappoint.
