Biography
The Portland, OR, group was completed in 2003 when Young's longtime friend Rob Oberdorfer (the Standard) joined him for what turned into a yearlong collaboration. With Young on guitars and mandolin and Oberdorfer on drums, Loch Lomond host a revolving cast of musicians including Kate O'Brien (violin), Jay Clarke (bass/accordion), Katie Schnepp (viola), and Peter Broderick (saw/slide guitar). When We Were Mountains marked the band's debut release for In Music We Trust in 2004. A split 12" with their pals Hurtbird followed on High Karate a year later. While writing and recording their second offering in mid-2006, Loch Lomond played shows with the likes of Horse Feathers, Nina Nastasia, and Molly Rose. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
