The Olivia Tremor Control

The Olivia Tremor Control was an American neo-psychedelic band from Athens, Georgia that released two studio albums, a bonus disc, a singles collection and a live album between 1996 and 2000. The main members were Will Cullen Hart, Bill Doss, Eric Harris, John Fernandes and Peter Erchick. They derived their main influences from psychedelic pop bands of the 1960s, especially the Beatles' 1966-67 albums and the Beach Boys' SMiLE. The Olivia Tremor Control originated as a band called Cranberry Lifecycle, which was formed in Ruston, Louisiana in the late 1980s by Hart and his high school friend Jeff Mangum. The two moved to Athens, and reworked Cranberry Lifecycle songs as a new band called Synthetic Flying Machine.
