Musical career

Oberst was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. He was born to Matthew Oberst, Sr., an information manager for Mutual of Omaha, and Nancy Oberst, an inner-city elementary school principal. He grew up with two older brothers, Justin Oberst, a lawyer, and Matthew Oberst, Jr., a teacher, and part time musician best known for his band Sorry About Dresden. Oberst's mother claims that he was banging on a piano since he was two years old. Besides his brother Matt, Oberst's father was also a musician who played guitar and piano for various cover bands in his youth, and together they began teaching Conor to play guitar at the age of 10. By the time he knew only two chords, he was already writing songs.^[1] Around that time, he also found the Antiquarium, a record store in Omaha that served as a Mecca for other musicians.

Oberst began his musical career at age 13 while attending 7th grade at St. Pius X/ St. Leo School. He was in the showchoir and other musical groups at the school.

Bill Hoover, who was in attendance, invited Oberst to come back to play with him a couple of weeks later. In that short amount of time, Oberst wrote enough songs to fill out the set, establishing himself as a songwriter and performer.^[2] Shortly thereafter, Oberst began committing his new repertoire to tape in his parents' basement with his father's four track cassette recorder and an acoustic guitar.

Norman Bailer (The Faint)

A few days later, Oberst told the other members of the band that they had a show in two weeks at Kilgore's. Despite having never performed together, they managed to produce nine songs to perform.

Comparisons to The Pixies and Sunny Day Real Estate were often made. They recorded two albums: Do You Feel at Home? (1995) and The Uneventful Vacation. The latter is considered by many to be a seminal work in the emo genre.
