Oh Pep! are an Australian folk/pop band formed in Melbourne, Australia by Olivia Hally and Pepita Emmerichs. ==History== Olivia "Liv" Hally (vocals, guitar) and Pepita "Pepi" Emmerichs (violin, mandolin) met at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School in 2009, and began writing songs together.〔Christine Campbell, ("Interview: Oh Pep!" ) ''Lip Magazine'' (December 3, 2012).

Retrieved April 10, 2015〕 In mid-2011 their musical duo, known as Oh Pep!, expanded into a five-piece lineup with Stuart West (double bass), Paddy Montgomery (mandolin, bouzouki) and Justin Olsson (drums, percussion).〔 According to Emmerichs in 2012: As soon as we got Stu, Jus and Pad in the room together, it clicked right away with us. Their playing seems to compliment our songs and arrangements to a tee, which is very exciting! Jus is solid as a rock/awesome and Stu brings in the perfect amount of catchy bass lines and groove, Paddy always plays great, imaginative lines that add another layer of tastiness.〔 The band's line-up has changed several times since, with Hally and Emmerichs the constant factor in all line-up configurations. Their self-titled debut EP, which was entirely self-produced and funded, was released on September 6, 2012.〔〔("Oh Pep!" ) Oh Pep! official site.
