Welcome to the Blog and News of Alternative Rock Band OPOSIUM

Oposium are very excited about the lead-up to their upcoming concert at Parkstone URC on Saturday 14th November.

In preparation to this gig the band have been kept busy in the workshop building 'a few things' for their next performance (with thoughts that Oposium never play the same set twice!).
The band will also have some fresh ideas both musically and visually ready for the concert. A brand new song will also be performed; and the band are looking forward to performing it to you for the first time!

However as always, the band will have their trademarks with them - The Flaming Piano, masses of lights, wild antics, video projections, awesome sound, and beach balls! Merchandise will also be available including the band's album "Life Under The Sun", newly designed T-Shirts, and much more!

The first rehearsals for the concert will begin within the next week over at the Conical Sphere studio.

Oposium are holding a stall in Poole Dolphin Centre this Sunday 1st November all day to advertise the gig and sell tickets.

Tickets for the concert can be bought at just £3 each, or 4 for £10 from our website Homepage, or the MusicRoom in Falkland Square in Poole.

Hope to see you there!

Peace always,
Oposium Admin Team

Oposium can reveal that along with commercial release onto Itunes and all major internet digital distributors, 'Life Under The Sun' will also be available to buy from HMV in Poole.



We will be adding to this list of shops over the next couple of months leading up to the release date which will be revealed very soon! Oposium will also be making appearances in store to help promote the album.

We're extremely excited to be able to release in HMV as the store is one of the largest CD & DVD retailers in the UK.

Poole music shop Music Room (part of the Musicroom.com chain) will be coming down to give out free promotions to the bands and audience who turn up to the Oposium concert this Saturday on January 3rd! Definitely an added bonus for all who turn up - as who knows what they will be giving out to the crowd! We know that the bands will be given free plectrums to throw out, but anything else is possible - so look out for the guys on the night...

The shop in Poole have been giving out flyers for the concert all over the Christmas period.



So ahead of the concert, Oposium and the concert organisers would like to thank Music Room for their support over this!!

Peace always,

The Oposium banner is up! That means only one thing ... gig next Saturday! So if you're coming down next Saturday (29th November 2008) and can't find Parkstone United Reformed Church (also known as PURC), just drive down Commercial Road from Poole Civic Centre (towards Ashley Cross and Bournemouth with Tyreland on your left) and look out on the right for our banner. Hopefully you can't miss it!
