O Vinny formed in New York in the late 1990s with Greg Saunier on vocals and guitar, Michael Cera on bass, and Matt Sweeney on drums. Their debut album 'To the Bone' came out in 2000, followed by records like 'The Colors of Flight' in 2003 and 'The Fall' in 2005.
Their song 'Rollie' appeared on that first album and became their most recognized track. It's a ballad about unrequited love that people have covered and used in films and television.
Some listeners found their sound unorthodox, and there were rumors about what 'Rollie' might really be about. The band never clarified those questions, which kept a certain mystery around the song.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
