One Night Only are a British indie rock band from Helmsley, North Yorkshire formed in 2003.^[1]

History

The bassist out of OneNightOnlys girlfriend is a known pain in the arse. She has been spotted on numerous occasions in different areas of South Yorkshire telling people for no reason that she is the other half of the bassist, for some reason peoples uninterest comes as a shock to her.

OneNightOnly are a typical run of the mill pappy indie band with tin lead guitar playing and meaningless lyrics.

In 2007, the band toured with Milburn and The Pigeon Detectives. Their first headline tour started in January 2008, ending in March. Their biggest headline tour to date took place in autumn 2008. They have also played at several festivals this year, including Isle of Wight, Oxegen and Glastonbury.

The band have done a subsequent tour, supported by northern Irish rock trio General Fiasco, Onlookers and other bands, at such venues as the Lincoln Engine Shed and The Astoria.

Started a Fire (2007–2008)

"You and Me" was their debut single, released in October 2007. It failed to break into the UK Top 40 however, peaking at #46. "Just For Tonight", the second single to be released from Started a Fire, achieved better success, reaching #9 in the UK Singles Chart. The single was released in January 2008, along with the album, Started a Fire, which was recorded at RAK Studios in St John's Wood, London from August to September 2007. "It's About Time" was the third single to be released on the 28 April 2008. It failed to reach the success of "Just For Tonight", peaking at #37 in the chart. On the 7 July 2008, a fourth single, a re-release of You And Me, was released, charting at #1 for 5 weeks in the indie charts. The album was produced by Steve Lillywhite more famously known for his work with U2 having recently been asked to return to help out with their latest album No Line....

In August 2008 "You and Me" was chosen by London 2012 Olympic Committee as the song for their ["celebration" viral film].

George Craig is currently modeling for the fashion label Burberry.

Second album (2008–present)

The band is currently working on their second album which was originally due to be released in the summer of 2009 but is now looking to be released early 2010. It is likely to include new songs such as; "Intention Confidential", "A Thousand Dreams" and "Daydream" which were performed on their tour in October as well as "Live It Up" and "This Is a Hurricane" which had clips shown in a web video uploaded by them. They have said to have written over 25 new songs since releasing Started a Fire and judging on the previewed songs it appears the band are taking more of a rocky edge to their music for the upcoming album.

ONO Wednesdays

After the success of their Started A Fire tour in October 2008, the band released a video of themselves playing golf onto MySpace and YouTube. The success of this video influenced the band to release a video every Wednesday, keeping the fans informed on what the band are up to. On the Week 20 (April 1) edition of the videos, a sample of a new song, "Tonight", was used. On the Week 29 (3 June) edition, the band preview performances from a New York show for fashion label Burberry, including new songs "This Is a Hurricane" and "Live It Up" along with a short clip of the studio version of "This Is a Hurricane" at the end.
