Welcome to the Blog and News of Alternative Rock Band OPOSIUM

Oposium will be performing in 2 weeks time on 10th October 2009 at Verwood Hub for Youth Music Mayhem YMM 2009. The lineup features a number of bands based in Bournemouth and Poole. The venue is The Verwood Hub, which is Dorset's premier centre for live music, theatre, art, conferences, workshops and community based projects.



Tickets are now on sale at £4 in advance, and can be bought online at;

Oposium can confirm that they will be performing as a rare 3 piece lineup due to a clash in Sam's schedule - although the flaming piano will be given a run out as well as some new tunes the band have been working on.

In other news, Oposium can also confirm that they will be playing two further concerts this year. Firstly November 14th will be the last 'mega' gig of this year ahead of Christmas with the band playing at Parkstone United Reformed Church. This is a fantastic venue as it looks like a London Theatre due to the way it is set up in two levels and is a favorite venue of the band members.

The band will also be making an exclusive appearance on 1st November in HMV in Poole in celebration of the commercial album release.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Richard "Mr Hair" McLester of Oposium has been composing, recording and producing a new masterpiece, with the initial title of "Song 139".

The song has been described in high esteem as being "brilliant, incredibly powerful and epic", "exciting and intense", and their drummer, David Waller, writes "can't wait to play it live".

Due to the release of the band's debut album Life Under The Sun earlier this year by major distributors HMV, Oposium will be focusing on writing some new material, with "Song 139" and "Everything Is Now" in mind, continuing to define what their answer is to - what is alternative rock music!?

"Song 139", which is currently in its last stages of production, will be performed during Oposium's future concerts for all to enjoy.
The current title is a concept, but Oposium is open to any suggestions. The song may eventually feature on the band's MySpace, www.myspace.com/oposium, as well as may be made into a future music video!
Keep your eyes (and ears) peeled!


Peace Always,
