Greetings, come in, make yourself at home! We're Oystar (Dan, Kev, James and Ben) a London-based band playing ska-rock-rap with an occasional skiffle thrown in for luck. We're currently taking bookings for gigs in London, Brighton, Bath and Bristol and we'll be playing at festivals throughout the UK and beyond in the summer. We look after ourselves, so drop us a note if you want to make plans...
Our first single 'I fought the Lloyds' charted at number 25 as the highest midweek entry in the week of 14 January '08. It has been played on Radio 1, Radio 2, talksport and loads of local stations throughout the country. The music video we made ourselves was also featured on Channel five news and was used to play out Newsnight by Mr Paxman himself.
We supported Chas & Dave at the Amersham Arms at the beginning of the year and The Lancashire Hotpots at the Purple Turtle in Camden soon after. Oystar drove their Talbot campervan to many many festivals this summer - check our upcoming gigs for up to date news on that. We appear regularly at Synergy Tuesdays in Camberwell, which is where we regularly make jam and conserve it.
Do take a good look around, peruse our blog and let us know something about you by leaving us a message...

Constructed as a twisting, bounding, spiraling adventure through the minds of these two talented producers, ‘Branes’ consistantly grows in attitude and involvement: years of dancefloor adventures are clearly etched into the basslines and leads that emanate from each and every track, including the epic Weird, Sick & Twisted remix that has already been tearing up dancefloors across the world! Cutting-edge production and depth of emotion makes this debut offering from M-Theory destined to redefine your world!
