DevO Posted February 22, 2003 Report Posted February 22, 2003 Theres an article on these guys in the new Relix magazine. (the one with Ben Harper on the cover) "O.A.R. is a little band from Maryland whose grassroots revolution has caught on like wildfire. Even in drawing sellout crowds around the country, they've managed to stay under the national radar, though not for long. Relix takes a look at the revolution from the inside out."
shainhouse Posted February 22, 2003 Report Posted February 22, 2003 I may be the only one that likes them, but sweet! As for an opening act, I don't know. tough to choose. maybe the Erin Smith Band or Grand Theft Bus.
NewRider Posted February 23, 2003 Report Posted February 23, 2003 I don't know if anyone has heard much of these guys O.A.R. (Of A Revolution). What I've heard hasn't really moved me much, but they are heading up to Toronto anyways May 16th at The Operahouse. Ticket details TBA ***HOB is letting me pick the opening act any suggestions?***
frescolopez Posted February 23, 2003 Report Posted February 23, 2003 Thats sweet - they have some really good stuff - for all you card players out there - check out: 'Crazy Game of Poker'. These guys put on a good show and will definately be worth seeing. As for openers - I'd say somebody like: Uncle Seth or Jomomma would fit pretty nice.
dieseldoug Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Diesel Dog is primed for doing opening slots with any and every band out there contributing to the jam scene. We'd love it! Contact www.dieseldog.ca
mikey d Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 O.A.R. are a wicked band, I realy enjoy their music.
Jason Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 I've been listening to these guys for about 5 years. They are nothing spectacular musically (whcih they admit themselves) but they have a catchy island vibe that makes them very appealing. glad they're making it up to T.O.
Esau Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Maybe Wassabi Collective should open for them? Or vice versa? Wassabi is playing CTMF*(sat),so they would be around the area. Just a thought *confirmed
Mr. Musicface Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 quote:Originally posted by frescolopez: As for openers - I'd say somebody like: Uncle Seth...Hey thanks for the props fresco - Uncle Seth would indeed be very interested. [email protected]" target="_blank or 416-885-5341 (ask for Jay) if anyone wants to chat about it. Only slight possible catch - isn't that the Friday of Frontier Town, or am I miscalculating? - M.
Skiter Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Hey Cool Cats, Erin here from the Erin Smith Band. I hope this works - I gotta say I don't have much saavy with the whole message board thing. We would be totally down with opening for O.A.R., but I'll be away on Tour from Vancouver to Toronto at that point with the Ladybird Sideshow (my sideproject). Think we'll be missing the first Frontier town because of this tour as well, but we'll hit another one this summer. I also just want to say that everyone associated with jambands.ca is SOOOO sweet. We dig on y'all big time. Over & Out! *Erin PS - If anyone ever wants to get ahold of ESB for other potential shows: [email protected] Rusty Bumper Dust Booking: 416-534-8198
mikey d Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 if everybody is shamelessly self-promoting their bands: the funk odyssey should open
Bennito Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 Umm. Yeah, I know two bands who could open. Liquid Caravan or Ben Spivak and the Corporate World. Liquid Caravan is a jamband, but the Corporate World is more along the lines of John Mayer and might be better suited to open for OAR. I have samples of both. Send me an email if you want.

NewRider Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 Thanks for all your input on this show. We've found our opener though and decided to go with Diesel Dog. Thanks again everyone. ~Aaron
NewRider Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 Tickets for the show go on sale Thursday Feb 27 at 10AM they are $15 each.
shainhouse Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 Aaron, can you please e-mail me @ [email protected] concerning this show- Also, congrads to Diesel Dog! Glad to see Ben made it to the board, and all the other fantastic bands offering their services-
teetervillestation Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 maybe my little brother could open for them, he's not much of a singer but man can he dance!
Fonserman Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 VERY EXCITED to see that Diesel Dog is playing with O.A.R. in TO. Should be fun times! I just wanted to say that I don't think that Diesel Dog get the credit they deserve. They are a bunch of talented, unique men, with a wicked sense of groove. They write a lot of their own stuff, and I ALWAYS have a great time at their gigs. My hat's off to the boys, for always a job well done!
