                             Introduction                             
======================================================================
Okilly Dokilly was an American metalcore band from Phoenix, Arizona,
that played "Nedal" music; a subgenre of metal music themed around the
animated character Ned Flanders from the television series 'The
Simpsons'. All band members performed dressed as Flanders, and the
majority of the lyrics to their songs are quotes of his.

The band members go by the pseudonyms: Head Ned, Shred Ned, Zed Ned,
Dread Ned and Bed Ned. The unusual concept behind the group has
resulted in worldwide attention. The lead singer, Head Ned, said that
Nedal music is "Not as fast as Bartcore, and a little cleaner than
Krusty Punk", references to hardcore punk and crust punk,
respectively.

As of June 3, 2019, the band has acquired over 66,000 likes on
Facebook. The band's first studio album, 'Howdilly Doodilly', was
released on November 11, 2016. They announced their first nationwide
tour via YouTube on February 5, 2017. On March 3, the band announced
on instagram that Stead Ned and Thread Ned would be replaced on the
upcoming tour by Dead Ned and Cred Ned on lead guitar and bass,
respectively.

On July 31, 2018, the band announced that Bled Ned, Red Ned, Cred Ned
and Dead Ned left the band and will be replaced by Shred Ned
(guitars), Dread Ned (drums) and Zed Ned (synth) with the only
remaining original Member being Head Ned. The band also announced in
the same news that they are working on their second studio album,
titled 'Howdilly Twodilly', which was released on March 29, 2019. In
October 2018, Okilly Dokilly introduced Bed Ned as their new bassist.

On April 7, 2019, the band appeared during the end credits of 'The
Simpsons' episode "I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say D'oh". After the
release of their second album, Okilly Dokilly spent the remainder of
the year touring the United States and Europe. In early 2020, they
released the single "Slaughterhouse" and toured in Australia, but the
COVID-19 pandemic made further touring impossible. The 'When the Comet
Gets Here Tour' that was planned for April and May 2020 had to be
postponed twice, at first to 2021 and then to 2022. On November 2,
2021, the band announced that the tour was renamed to 'Tourdilly Do
'22' and that it would be the last tour before an indefinite hiatus.
In March 2022, a trailer for the tour announced two new supporting
members, with Led Ned replacing Shred Ned on lead guitar and Bloodshed
Ned taking the place of Bred Ned on bass.

The tour, and along with it the band's activities, ended on May 7,
2022, in Austin, Texas. In their seven years of existence, Okilly
Dokilly performed a total of 239 shows all across the world. In August
that year, they announced an additional farewell show for October 29,
2022. They also called for all fans to come dressed as Ned Flanders or
other Simpsons characters, in an attempt to break the current world
record of 'Most People Dressed Like Characters from The Simpsons in
One Place'.
