shainhouse Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Well, I ventured down to the worst venue in Toronto to check out OAR and what the fuss was all about. Even though they aren't a jamband by any means, I really enjoyed the band. They were super late because of border issues and wouldn't stop apologizing to the audience and it seemed to spirit their performance, whipping out some really great reggae/ska style tunes with a little Dave Matthews feel mixed in. Also got covers of Stir It Up, Blackbird and Sunday, Bloody Sunday. The security was tight, the beer was expensive, the venue was dirty, the band was late and it was rainy, but the music was still stellar. Great band, great music, shitty everything else. -Shain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Hey Shain - Sorry again that I had to bail on you. Family stuff, I'm sure you know how it is. Despite all the problems sounds like I still missed a pretty good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Schwa.: where did they play?I believe it was the Warehouse (or the Koolhaus, as I believe it is now called), which is, as Shain said, the shittiest venue in all of Toronto...

doug Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Sounds like it was a pretty good show. Just wonderin if the crowd was big enough to attract O.A.R. back up this way in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not a jamband, they are way too loud, they are boring, they are not worth $20, ...Hootie and the blowfish on crack...and I hate hootie!! Do yourself a favor...don't believe the hype!!!
