Office extends tour, releases

Get out of the office and go see Office. The Chicago-based quintet is nothing like the stiff-collared, memo-obsessed work environment that you may be accustomed to. These guys would be a perfect night cap to any tumultuous corporate day, and we love them so much here at Paste that we featured them as one of our Sept. 4 to Watch artists.

With legions of fans already in Chicago, the indie-pop group hit the road this fall to take its super-fun tunes to the rest of the country. Now, the band has extended the tour into the winter. Office will pick up dates on Dec. 8 in Denver, and will end the trek with a hometown gig on Jan. 12.

If the band isn’t coming anywhere near you, then maybe you can get your Office fix by checking out their video for “Oh My.” Cleverly edited, the clip consists of scenes from the 1993 pornographic slice o' cinema, Possessions, starring Peter North. However, all the naughty scenes have been replaced with shots of the band.
