Ohasis in Double Header – Rescue Rooms, Notts

May 10, 2011 in The Ohasis Blogosphere

Friday 20th May 2011 sees Ohasis playing at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham, in a cracking double header, with the excellent Kazabian. A night of music from 2 bands which honour the songs and craft of two of the biggest British bands from the last 2 decades. This will be a real night to remember as Nottingham plays host to two of the UK’s finest tribute bands, acurately re-creating the detail of all the greatest hits, bringing all the swagger and authenticity, making this a night NOT to be missed!

Rock and Roll Stars? You bet!

Whoopsie – Who’s been naughty boys then?

Nov 26, 2010 in The Ohasis Blogosphere

Whoops! Seems as if we’ve upset a few of our fellow compatriot musicians in the tribute world!

Apparently some folks have got their knickers in a twist by mis-interpreting some details on our biog. It’s claimed that we’re slagging off other bands who divide their time by performing as more than one tribute band????? Wrong! We actually believe they do the “other” bands very well indeed! And we should know – we’ve seen them! We don’t need to bad-mouth anyone. All we’ve done is highlight a differentiator, between what we do and what others do. 

Let us explain – Our sole aim is to re-create, to the tiniest of detail, the whole Oasis experience, by dedicating ALL of our efforts to one of the biggest bands of the last 50 years. After all, we think they deserve it.

It’s about getting the whole experience as accurate and authentic as possible. For us, getting the look right isn’t just about wearing the same clothes, it’s about using the exact equipment, hence the reason why we have invested very heavily, so we use a cherry red Dot with Bigsby, a ’65 Gibson Non-Reverse Firebird, Epiphone Casino & Riviera, J200, Burns Bison…………..These guitars ensure that, not only do we get the right look, but also the most authentic sound. The way we position ourselves on stage, our movement, stance, the way we play our guitars, the way we sing, the way we “dress” the stage, has all been studied meticulously to ensure nothing is forgotten. Our attention to detail is uncompromising in our quest to remain the No1, most authentic tribute to Oasis.

Maybe this is why we are the only Oasis tribute band to have an album available on all worldwide download sites??? 

As for upsetting other bands……………..I’m sure Noel & Liam would be very proud! 

Live Forever!

More Tales From The Middle Of Somewhere

Nov 09, 2010 in The Ohasis Blogosphere

Further to our recent announcement of our album, due to contractual requirements and a little bit of record company red-tape, the release date of “You Gotta Fake It – A Tribute To Oasis” has been delayed by 1 week.

“You Gotta Fake It” will now be available on iTunes, Amazon, Play.com and all other major, global download sites from November 19th 2010.

Snippets and previews of all the songs on the album are currently listed on the aforementioned sites, so please…….take a look………have a listen! You won’t be disappointed!

We will still be using various gigs up and down the country as album launch nights, with copies of the album available in CD format at some of the events. On the day of the album release, we will be playing The Castle, Finchley Road, London so expect a great night if you want to see the World’s most authentic Oasis Tribute Band in action.

The album launch night for the Midlands has been set for Friday 17th December, when we take it to The Diamond, in Sutton In Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. There will be hard copies available for purchase as well as a few surprise givaways.

Remember, we are the ONLY Oasis tribute to have a record contract to release a tribute album, dedicated to the career and music of one of the greatest bands of our time!

Live Forever!

Tales From The Middle Of Somewhere

Oct 26, 2010 in The Ohasis Blogosphere

You Gotta Fake It

Ok, been a while I know……….. apologies for the break in transmission…………

We have been saying for the last couple of Months we had some really BIG news coming from the Ohasis camp. At last the “powers-that-be” have given us the green light to announce our news………………..

Early in 2009, on the strength of 3 Oasis tracks we recorded for promotional use, the band were ear-marked, then approached and asked to record a full length tribute album to Oasis, spanning the whole of Oasis’s Career. Of course, we didn’t need to be asked twice and we all jumped at the chance. We were told our mission was simple…………………. to recreate the Oasis tracks chosen for the album, making sure nothing was missing and that the track lengths were exactly the same as the originals. Easier said than done, believe me!

At times, we all thought we had bitten off more than we could chew. We had to fit recording in and around our gigs and as we have been pretty busy this year, it meant us recording in the week around our daytime jobs and well into the early hours. It took 7 months to record but we are pleased to announce the album is finished, mixed, mastered and definitely (not maybe) worth all of the headaches and stress we all went through.

We are really proud of what we have achieved and we hope everyone who buys it will be blown away by the musicianship, authenticity and accuracy of all the tracks recorded.

This really is a massive coup for the band, as it will launch Ohasis WORLDWIDE.

Licences are all in place so the album will be available for download at all the main download music sites. iTunes, Amazon, Play.com to name but a few. So people, thanks for hanging in there and a massive thanks for all your love and support………………

All that is left to say is the album is called You Gotta Fake it – A tribute to Oasis, by Ohasis

Release date is Friday November 12th 2010, you get that? Friday November 12th 2010

The album launch will be accompanied by gigs that are announced on the website, so keep checking back at www.ohasisinet.com
