Welcome to the Blog and News of Alternative Rock Band OPOSIUM

HEADLINE: The alternative rockers from Poole, Oposium, are wanted by organisation C.A.P (Crime Against Pianos) and the local police for their unruly misbehaviour to pianos.

Such antics include...

Case #1: Throwing a piano into the sea for the video of their award-winning song Behind The Rain, where frontman Richard McLester, and keys virtuoso Sam Hanson floated off into the blue sea with the piano. The videos, which can be found on YouTube, show the duo perform on it too!


Case #2: On bonfire night of 2008, the band obtained two (yes two!) neglected pianos and set them both on fire, celebrating the event with some fireworks! By morning, the pianos were no more than mere ash...


Case #3: The band resurrected the sea piano into their latest 'prop', the 'Flaming Piano', which as YouTube shows too, the band setting alight to the named instrument. Live it is for great, original effect, and something for their fans to see and enjoy at the live gigs. The band quotes "it is important for a gig to be exciting visually and musically".


We can now say that The Fanatical Four (their mugshots shown above) have, over the past years, have used the prized musical instruments as an advantage to their work and image both in live and in music-video situations. However the fans, and the band themselves, see it as a new art movement, and something that adds to the band's modern, alternative image. Go the gigs yourself and witness the 'Flaming Piano'!


Peace Always,
