Definitely Oasis are regarded by many Oasis fans and promoters alike as the best Oasis tribute band there is. The band regularly sell out top class venues across the UK and were recently the first ever tribute band to sell out Glasgow’s iconic Garage and Barrowlands Venues in the same year. And what do you think? They are sold out again at The Bungalow. With over 2 hours of nonstop monster OASIS hits, it’s going to be another brilliant night from one of The Bungalow’s favourite bands.
The Bungalow Club starts at 2pm on Wednesday for another great line up of music and more.
The Bungalow are excited to welcome Crashes, Bad Year and Glorious Failure to the stage for another Introducing Night on Thursday. Doors 7pm. Tickets £5/3 students.
Dave Robinson is at Rocknrollas tonight doing a Q&A. Originally a teenage photographer in Dublin, Dave Robinson opened the first Beat Club in Ireland. He took pictures for Rave magazine at the Cavern with the Beatles and on the Rolling Stones first tour of Ireland ; He befriended Van Morrison, and briefly managed him, and he was Jimi Hendrix’s Road and Tour manager from his first tour of the UK with the Pink Floyd, The Nice and The Move.

In London, he single-handedly created a network of 35 pubs where bands could play what they liked and this became the forerunner of punk.
