Bus to Bondi great song, great band

 

[carcharias]

Best live band in history.

no fireworks
no blow up animals
no costumes
no 30 ft demons
no movie screen backdrops
no ego's ( well maybe Hirst ...)

Just loud intense pure Aussie rock n roll played like they mean't it.

Great stuff OVP .

Tis a shame i couldnt get any songs at all from Youtube apart from Head Injuries. I Wish there was some other tracks there from Place without a Postcard and Bird Noises. Doh !! Oh well, Head Injuries and 10 to 1 is the best we can do here. Enjoy my friends

But if you are keen on downloading some Oils mp3's in a zip file ... this is what you'll get ... the best i can do ... unless i get a tape/Record converter

Oils - Burnie.mp3 (from Place without a postcard)
Oils - Jimmy Sharman's Boxers (From Red Sails in the Sunset)\
Oils - Koala Sprint (from Head Injuries)
Oils - Armistice Day (From Place without a postcard ... Probably the ULTIMATE Oils Classic)
Oils - Naked Flame (From Head Injuries ... the bluesiest number they ever did...ADORE IT !!)
Oils - Short Memory (Live from The Panel TV Show ... easily THE BEST version of this song EVER !!)

My band used to play "no time for games".

the punters loved it....we don't do covers anymore though.

surfing on a spoon is another great one as is powderworks.

I've seen Oils about 10 times live ... just the best high energy band... always came out dripping with sweat

Live highlights( every show was a highlight!)

- opening of the Jump club- 300 people , they blew there gear twice and came back after the second time (an hour into the show) and said if we do it again you willl get your money back... ended up playing for 2 1/2 hours -- JUST WOW. Front to back of the club was about 30m, we were standingon these tea chests at on the back wall at the same level as them.

Noosa concert- ANZAC day COOroy race track - we were working the beer tent(locals got jobs) after 10 bands , many beers , lots o substances , they came on.

It stared to HAMMER down with rain... they were SENSATIONAL..

I'II never forget walking through the mud at the end and seeing a bloke in a wheel chair tipped backwards.. we asked him if he wanted a hand and said naa I'm right mate... OOOIIILLLSS! great bloke. ( His mate did help him)

.. and we got paid!!!!


Noosa Footy club - again we worked the jump..is there a theme here?-
Suzi and the sunsets came , Austentasius was big before he got arrested for swearing , then came the oils

They were ...yet again ... as usual... SEN..FUGGING..SATIONAL

god I love the oils!
