Olivelawn

Olivelawn was an American punk rock band from San Diego that released two albums in the early 1990s. The group was composed of singer Mike Olson, guitarist O. (a.k.a. Otis Barthoulameu) and the rhythm section of drummer Eddie Glass and bassist Neil Blender. Jonny Donhowe replaced Blender on bass after the group had released one single. Identified influences include The Stooges, Black Sabbath, and the MC5. After three singles, the group released their debut album, Sap, on Nemesis Records in 1991, and following it with their second album, Sophomore Jinx! on Headhunter Records in 1992. Sophomore Jinx! was recorded in Seattle and produced by Jack Endino. This was their final release, with O and Donhowe going on to form Fluf, and Glass joining the band Fu Manchu in 1993 as lead guitarist. Glass founded the power trio Nebula in 1996, playing guitar. The band took its name from the Olive Lawn Memorial Park in La Mirada, CA, which was near their rehearsal space.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played the band's material between 1990 and 1991, but seemed to lost interest in them by the time they released their Sophomore Jinx! album in 1992, where he only played one track from the LP.
