After a short hiatus Oobleck’s hitting it hard this February with three big shows. We’ve spent the last few months getting to know our new bass man, Sam Parker. After some great years with Nick he’s moved on to a new project., Rival Galaxies. They’ve got some wild sounds and put on a straight up dance party.
But when one door closes another one opens. Sam’s been bringing the heat and we’re ready to take it on the road. After a stint in New Paltz with Balls Deep we’re headed back to Burlington to play at Nectars. We’ll be finishing out the month with a Mardi Gras celebration at the Black Rocks Festival in Connecticut.
Here’s a taste of what’s to come. I’ll funk you so hard you’ll make the Cosby face!
