o.a.r.??

[walkonby]

i mean, they must be a good band for selling out two days in two seconds at nine thirty . . . but then again so could wilco, and they suck the term suck right out of the dictionary.  i unfortunatley have never heard of o.a.r. or their music.  Where can i go online to listen to some excerpts of what style they are in?  and i can't believe what people are paying for them (tickets) on ebay.

tanks, random c.  i knew you knew the info.  i had searched yahoo and msn, and couldn't find their website.  google did come through.  a jam band??  and they can sell out nine thirty so quick.  and here i thought nine thirty hated jam bands and the crowds they attract.

Seth likes they money they bring in. Gas isnt cheap right now and his S600 is real thirsty.

If you actually have seen a list of who/what has played the 9:30 I don't think you will find a genre untouched.  Name a genre.  Also Ratdog plays the 9:30, no jam band bigger than them that would play such a small venue.

how about the overproduced, lip synching, no talent, all my songs are covers or written by someone else genre?
 
 and that rat dog show was awesome!  my favorite part was that i saw MOE early and they were searching everyone's everything at the door; even my cigarette pack and hat . . . then when i showed up for ratdog, they didn't even bother to search.  they like to keep the crowd guessing, i'm sure.

Dreamstreet?  Does that fit the bill?

 They played the same day the Genitorturers played (different shows though).

Didn't Galactic play two nights?

Galactic has done doubles on multiple occasions.

Say what you want, those jam bands bring in big crowds.  Gotta admit that...

Safety in numbers, otherwise they'd indivually be arrested for possession, told to take a shower, wash their clothes, cut their hair and get a job.  This way, travelling in packs like nomads, nobody hassles the unmotivated.

How did Duane Hanson figure into this?

I don't know if "jamband" is a good way to define o.a.r. Their "jams" are usually played exactly the same at every show and they attract more of the drunken dmb fratboy crowd than actual jambands do. They're also too pop-sounding to be considered a jamband. The audio section of archive.org has plenty  of their shit (and i mean that very literally) if you're interested.
