Scherler Sundays: Morgan and The Organ Donors, XOHNO, Chance of Ghosts

In this eighth installment of highlights from 2023’s Scherler Sundays live series, we have another all-Olympia showcase. This time, we hear performances and stories from Morgan and the Organ Donors, XOHNO, and Chance of Ghosts.

The MODs feature Sara Peté's soft dreamy vocals and rhythmic 60s garage riffs, with "Wildman" James Maeda weaving in subtle guitar complexities, all held together by COCO's Olivia Ness and Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail on bass and drums. You may have seen wife and husband duo Sara and James playing a couple of songs together when James opened for Michael Hurley at last year's Scherler Sundays. If you missed it, check it out here!

X.O.H.N.O. is Olympia’s own glossy arena pop anthem machine, blending the shimmering sweetness of Donna and Summer’s vocal delivery with the hard-hitting dance floor grooves of producer/songwriter DR WOW. Expect a hefty serving of earworms.

And kicking off today’s show is Chance of Ghosts- a new post-punk group comprised of folks who have been rocking Olympia since before you were probably born. It’s a perfect storm, featuring members of Tiger Trap, C Average and more!
