Ethereal music with an earthly resonance...

Formed in Columbus, Ohio in 1995, Frolic consists of the duo of Matthew Chinn and Kelly O'Brien, along with the guitar work and engineering of Jonathan Beard. The music of Frolic consists of serene washes of atmospheric textures, combined with crystalline guitars and the lofty, angelic vocals of Kelly. 

The band formed in the spring of 1995 in Columbus, Ohio, where an eight month recording session spawned a number of guitar-driven tracks (half of which are on our full-length, "Permafrost").

In 1997, Matt & Kelly moved to Orlando, Florida, where more atmospheric and synth-oriented tracks were produced, and then sent back to Jon for engineering and additional guitar work. This led to the 70-minute epical full-length CD "Permafrost", on the now defunct, Philadelphia-based record label Velvet Empire. 

In the fall of 1999, we gathered some of our early 1995 session tracks and released an EP entitled "Fragments of the Past". 

In 2000, we signed to Projekt records, first offering our track "Skin" on the "Sireenia" female vox compilation, and then later our second full-length CD, "To Dream, Perchance to Sleep" in March 2001.

In the same year we contributed a cover of "Angels We Have Heard on High" to Projekt's holiday compilation "Excelsis Vol. 3: A Prelude".

Theater Oobleck is an artistic collective dedicated to producing and performing original works of theater for the benefit of, and at low or no cost to, the members of the Chicago community and beyond.
