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
***

“…here the screen is fuzzy, even falling sugar jazzy – join us on the other side!” Extravagant pop band OSCA brings the audience out of the ordinary and into an extraordinary parallel world of decadence and enchantment. The sounds and aesthetics of this finely tuned 1 lady and 4 man band are a perfect symbiosis of nostalgic tunes and futuristic urban beats, ranging from English to Japanese lyrics. Through seductive ballads, surprising moments of humor, and megaphone led dance tracks OSCA leads you on a surreal journey where anything is possible, to a world where tonight’s champagne is more important than tomorrow’s breakfast!
