Ohbijou is an indie pop band based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Their music has been playlisted on CBC Radio 3. Their song "St. Francis" peaked at #4 on the network's weekly charts in December of 2006 [1], and ranked as the #34 song on the network's year-end singles chart [2].
They played the opening set for the Virgin Music Festival in Toronto (headlined by The Flaming Lips and Gnarls Barkley) and had much of their set watched by the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne. The band was recently nominated for The Galaxie Rising Stars Award of the CBC, competing with artists such as IllScarlett, Final Fantasy and Emily Haines of Metric.
