Random MySpace Band Review: Oysterhead
Band: Oysterhead

Classified as: Experimental / Ambient / Jam Band
About: Oysterhead is a rock supergroup featuring guitarist Trey Anastasio of Phish, bassist Les Claypool of Primus, and drummer Stewart Copeland of The Police. The style and sound of the band is a unique, somewhat bizarre mix between Anastasio’s jam band style, the bass-oriented funk metal music of Claypool, and the reggae-influenced beats of Copeland. To many, this is considered to be the bridge between the music of Phish and Primus.
Oysterhead was formed for what was originally intended to be an exclusive one-off live performance at New Orleans’s Saenger Theater on May 4, 2000, for which they compiled a set almost entirely of original material. The show was part of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. [ from Wikipedia.com ]

New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has always attracted people as it is one of the best known festivals in US. The Jazz Fest is an important occasion to celebrate music and culture. As the festival has a great popularity, people always wait for attendance with great passion. Me too, I’m no exception because I’m one of the music lovers and I’m looking forward to be on time. But what disturbs a little in such important events is tickets which become hard to get or their prices become so high. I’ve just recommended a site to compare tickets prices before booking and I find this an important idea because this way one can look for the cheapest offered prices:
