Although I didn't get to catch many of the acts, everyone I managed to hear at Oasis was awesome.

Project Pimento with guest JonPaul on bass-o-phone were the perfect complement to the Keep A Breast art show. Hope you're feeling better JP!! Buy their stuff!

The Hula Girls were swinging their collective asses off in the ballroom! Gary Brandin on steel did his usual stellar job of filling in as if he'd been with the band for years. And I believe I saw Sabu Le Coconut Boy cuttin' some serious rug as well... Buy their stuff!

I caught the Ding Dong Devils in a drunken room crawl haze. (me, not them :) ) I had no idea what to expect and I'm still not sure what it is I did hear! I hate putting labels on bands or doing the old comparison thing so I'll leave it at this: They were the most enjoyably quirky ensemble I've heard in a long time. Buy their stuff!

Sand Devils!!! Ran and the lads was smokin'! Thanks for the cocktails! Buy their stuff!

Thee Swank Bastards... Black Sabbath, burnin' proto-punk surf and Szandora? What's not to like? Thanks for letting me sit in fellers! Buy their stuff!

APE.... FINALLY!!! I have never had the APE experience. I feel totally violated... in a very good way. Buy their stuff!

Martini Kings with Sonny Moon... Smoooooth, baby, smooth!! Congrats to Tony and Val. Buy their stuff!

Oh, and go see "NUTTY", Sonny's kooky band!!!

Did I mention you should buy all these bands' stuff?

What could be better than seeing any of the bands? Seeing Marie King up and mobile with a big old smile on her face!
