I saw an amazing show by the Oils last night. In the 15 years off from touring, these guys have lost nothing. My ears are still ringing. 24 songs over 2 hours. They rehearsed 100 songs for the tour & the setlists are changing nightly. Last night they played a big chunk of Diesel & Dust. Lucky me! If you get the chance to see them, do it. Outstanding!

I was a big fan back in the day, with The Dead Heart still being my favorite tune from them, and then they seemingly vanished from the face of the earth!
Wondering if any new material is in the works, or if they're just living and touring off of past glories?

Nothing new, just a box set with rarities:

They are a really great band - Diesel & Dust, Earth Sun and Moon and Blue Sky are my favorites, but they have a fan base that also likes the harder, earlier albums like 10,9,8.. - if you are not familiar with them, give them a spin. They got big in the 80s but you will not hear any fake drums in this band!

It has been so long since they toured, its almost like the material is new again. That & they rehearsed approx. 100 songs. The setlists are changing nightly. Ticket prices were very realistic (think I paid $50 for front row). Tshirts weren't bad either @ $30. They did a little acoustic set in the middle that rocked harder than most bands with a stage full of Marshall stacks.

If only we were talking about the Stones. Can you imagine the excitement.
