Oxbow is a long-lived band formed in 1988 in San Francisco, California that is notable for their prolific touring and unique sound. Oxbow plays a blend of , , (AMG), and , creating soundscapes caustic, or plangent, with overtones of paranoia, revulsion, exaltation. The first album in 1989 combining the squall of bands like The Birthday Party with elements of free jazz and musique concrète from Oxbow, Fuckfest, met with international success and created a small but loyal following that has grown ever since.
