I Oh You are a collective made up of handsome young men and women aimed at injecting DIY entertainment back into Melbourne’

s CBD and its surrounds. This is achived by throwing venue sized gigs in backyards through out the city.

“It’s about getting good people together to have a good time.”

Johann Ponniah, one of the founders tells Spook. 
Parties such as these maybe what replaces the 15%-20% venues rumored to closed at the end of 2010. As long as youth continue to migrate to Melbourne there will be a need for live music and parties. 

With some of their prevoius party guest lists exceeding 400 people, it’

s a clear indicator that I Oh You have found a receptive audience. Spook attended their most recent party held in Richmond and got well and truly amerced in the tree climbing, dust storm created by Triple J High School Unearthed winner Howl. We danced and consumed,  while dodging lemon missiles launched from a cute girl in a tree.The party was impressive .

When the dust did settled and the Police came to do what they do to loud parties on Friday nights, those who where able to leave  left. We left and the  followed the caravan towards the Terminus, where I’m pretty sure I saw our sub-editor romantically embraced next issues cover girl. When I asked her what she was doing and she replied  ”Nothing comes fa free in this industry,” then while pointing at my face then chest, shoulder then face again and bellowed “Ya hear me?!” She then  gulped what was left in her pint of Gin and Tonic and returned to her interlude.
