Dear monkeybutts and honey poos,

it’s been a busy year, most importantly a productive year. Just to summarize, we’ve had 16 gigs so far, found a marvelous Booking agency and are currently preparing the recordings of our new Album Opus I (take a look at our crowdfunding campaign and if you can spare a dime, then this is the right cause! http://www.startnext.de/osca-album-opus-1).

Daddy Prime Tours

OSCA is now officially a Prime Tours Booking band. With gorgeous artists such as ZAZ, Sophie Hunger, Camille O’Sullivan and Kat Frankie, this agency is the perfect ally for the Oscaland.

The big stages

We’ve discovered a whole new dimension of OSCA by hitting the bigger stages and working with perfomers (Lady Ane Angel, Lalla Morte, Missy Macabre). Here are some impressions from our concerts at the 30. Bayerische Theatertage, Fusion Festival, Karneval der Kulturen and Delphi Ex-Stummfilmkino

The Iberian retreat

Berlin is one sodding distracting place. We needed silence, space and a change of scenery to compose new songs for our album. So we applied for an artist grant, got it and left. 2 weeks of Spain in the middle of nowhere, lots of food and even more wine we finally reached the right state of mind we needed to spit out all those ideas we had in ourselves. Loud, rude, dramatic, sad and overly happy sounds were created. No audience but the few stray dogs, cats and zillions of snails (sadly our shoe soles are still sticky with their guts, they were everywhere) to listen to those magical creations. We were so happy it was almost creepy. To conclude the trip we visited the godfather of madness Dalì in his castle and expressed our appreciation through ferocious hairdos and adhesive moustaches. Here are a few impressions

Your first chance to get to hear some of those new songs will be our Gig at Bar TAUSEND on the 8th of November. Come around to celebrate the start of our recording phase with us! Bring new friends, enemies, in-laws, sweethearts and slaves! And don’t forget our crowdfunding campaign – if you know rich daddies, call them! If you know how to rob a bank, what are you waiting for? (no, don’t do it please).

OSCA

Dear OSCA family,

After a thousand days of glam, glitter, improper behavior and one EP, we’re ready for the creation of an epic Opus 1 album. This CD is going to be full of wondrous sounds, wall shaking beats and heart squeezing stories, so that you can experience OSCALAND in your living room as much as you would at a concert!
We need your support to spread our music to the rest of the world outside of Berlin and to hit the bigger stages!

Please take a look at our crowdfunding campaign – we’re happy about any amount of donation. Support us and be part of this amazing journey!

Licks all over,
OSCA

Day 1 in the middle of nowhere, Iberian birds singing, gigantic rainbow flies buzzing around as if we were some big pile of magic unicorn poo. Life is good here, all creatures very welcoming towards Oscalanders. Their first presents were a couple of giant peaches, it takes a long time to devour them all. We had a first lecture from a bee we’ve been sharing our salami with – the queen bee is not a “bee”, but an ant kidnapped in its young years. What a relief…

We apologize for the long silence – during spring we’ve been composing dramatic songs, immersing ourselves in self-pity post-winter depressions and drowning our hopes and sorrows in Prairie oysters. Yes – we feed on highs and lows, drama and delirium, buns and booze…

…Rising from the comatose and wiping off the dust from the alleys of OSCALAND we’ve packed our Mary Poppin bags to hit the one and only FUSION FESTIVAL! We’ll be playing at midnight from Thursday 28th to Friday at the Cabaret tent at the Hangar. Come to see us and celebrate with us!

And a quick update on the past month – we’ve been invited to Mongolia to play there and to spread the sound of OSCA. We’ll probably get there sometime next spring. We’ve also played at the amazing 30. Bayerische Theatertage in Augsburg with our marvelous two dancers Lady Ane Angel and Miss Lalla Morte.  It was MAGIC! All glitter, gold and glamour! And we ate so many Weißwürste that we almost looked like them!

So we hope to see you at the Fusion Festival or at our summer break concert at the Bar TAUSEND on July 12th!

Follow us, stalk us, support us

loads of love,

OSCA

TADAAA! Dearest most charming OSCA fans, it almost feels like announcing a marriage – OSCA is now a resident band of the

BAR TAUSEND BERLIN !

We have big plans to drown this marvelous club in colors, sounds and vices on a regular basis…but every time will be different. Expect flying pigs, six-legged horses, running roast chickens and a five-headed OSCA family. chuchu***

Dear brides and broads, beaus and brutes, beans and broccolis,

we had two incredible days in Bavaria, opening the gates to OSCA’s Metropolis Absurda for the first time.
Through the marvelous Abraxas-Theatre in Augsburg, many new OSCAlanders have found their way into our abyss of sinful joy, excess and enchantment. With two beautiful creatures from the Metropolis, Miss Lalla Morte and Lady Ane Angel, we have reached new ways of instilling our magic into the audience – fire, feathers and glowing fingers. Take a look at the KABOOOOM we’ve caused:

Concert review on Augsburger Allgemeine

To appease Augsburg’s quenchless hunger for more, we opened our gates the next night at the great “Beim Weissen Lamm”, right in the heart of gorgeous Augsburg. Different people, different atmosphere, but loooads of people came, stayed and partied forever.
Enough of OSCA in Bavaria? You can never have enough OSCA anywhere! Long lives exuberant pleasure, gluttony, grandeur and glitter! We’ll be back for the “30. Bayerische Theatertage”, to perform two exclusive concerts in May 2012 at the big Theatre of Augsburg and in the well-known Lamm again – of course we’ll bring along Miss Lalla Morte in our luggage and Lady Ane Angel to burn the house down.

Thank you so much for your love and support,

soggy smooches from OSCA*

Quick post, big night coming up! Today’s OSCA gig at Badeschiff starts at 9pm, quite punctual. Clear sky and 21°C is what was promised to us by the mighty (and this year very cruel) weather gods、so knock on wood…
And don’t forget to turn on the radio, OSCA is going on air with a live interview on Radio Eins at 7pm!

kicks, licks & smooches*

It will take us a while to become reliable bloggers, so please be patient. There’ll be weeks of silence and sudden spamming. So where were we?

Red Session I
OSCA live sessions, stuffed into a 4qm unknown red room. Numbers of participating OSCAlanders vary, from two to five, sometimes guest musicians. The first session is “song of devotion”, inspired by the Russian composer Ljapounow. Why be so tragic? Not only to give Ljapounow credit for some of his beautifully afflicted harmonies, but mostly because in sufferance numerous emotions and sensations meet. Painful but pleasant? Dazzling but devastating? Vitalizing but deadly? That’s our habitat, that’s OSCAland. So dive in and meet yourself multiplied by a hundred times…winkwink*

1000 Bar

The concert was magic, the place miraculous and the liquids served were to die for (from floating petals, snow on the rocks to whole trees in a glass, we had it all!). Thank you, all you beautiful people who came, we hope we stole some hearts and brought them to the “other side”. And more than anything, we hope you’ll join the trip again…and if you have pictures from the night, post them on our facebook wall!

“Ohne Strom” Badeschiff 17.08

OSCA outside, by the water and in a musically reduced version – that’s three new things at the same time. Off the surface, back in the lab we’ll be preparing this special concert, so stay with us and spread the message!

OSCA

Technology has reached the realms of OSCALAND. Can you hear the purring sound and the dripping water? It’s the sound of five OSCAlanders working their huge machineries to launch the official OSCA webpage while diligently sipping Absinthe and savoring Soba noodles. With their first EP “Come to the other side” OSCA is now finally ready to share the secret worldwide – there is an entrance to OSCALAND. And it’s everywhere, between skyscrapers, in elevators, under toilet seats and around dark street corners. It’s a place in a time that never was and never will be, reflecting many of your past memories and future wishes to be fulfilled.  Come along and we will tell you mad stories about dandies & divas, sailors & sorcerers, mistresses & murderers!

FUTURISTIC CABARETTISTIC – JOIN US ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!

P.S – this is where OSCA will post all their news, updates, useless knowledge and genius thoughts. Call it the Daily OSCALAND
