For the English speakers of the Oasis is a football match with 80,000 people in the same team ”

For 15 years, the Dylan Shepherd group was as close as possible to see Oasis on stage.

Shepherd Fronts Supersonic, an act tribute to the Oasis which nailed all the details of the live sets of their heroes of Manchester, of the Anorak jacket of Liam Gallagher, the precise fanfaron of the guitar of his brother Christmas. For fans, fearing that the famous Gallagher Acrimonious brothers never realize after their chaotic separation 2009, Supersonic was a solid alternative.

Never has a group be happy to be spread out.

“Like everyone, we were shocked and delighted when Oasis announced that they were recovering together,” said Shepherd. “We found the concept of going and making a lot of shows in cities just before them so that people are even more excited, if it is even possible.”

Friday, just before Oasis played pink Bowl, Supersonic made the head of the whiskey A Go Go, the Sadly famous Meltdown site fueled by Oasis’s drugs in 1994. Supersonic will probably behave better than Gallaghers, but for Angeleno Anglophiles, this week’s reunion takes place on the Town Town.

For a weekend, it will become more or less Manchester with palm trees.

“We went to their first Manchester show in July and it was incredible, the atmosphere was only buzzing,” said Shepherd. “From each workshop window, each bar, you could hear the oasis, and they seemed better than they ever did.”

At a time when giant pop visits were the health barometer of the live music industry, Oasis reunion feel both old -fashioned and refreshing – a group of rock with live thread and to share is suddenly the hottest ticket in the city. The group’s shows in the United Kingdom have transformed its urban centers with a fervor closer to the national heritage than the simple rock group Fandom.

Now, for the first time since 2008, it’s Los Angeles’s turn.

Anyone who saw the documentary “Depeche Mode: 101” or attended a Morrissey show with a Chicano crowd knows that it reveals it for its idols through the pond. Some superfuns here could not wait for the group to end.

“I’ve been a fan since the 90s, but I’ve never been able to see them during the day and I’m waiting for them to solve things,” said Rose Ghavami, a promoter and DJ of the who flew to the United Kingdom for two oasis shows. But that was not enough.

“I’m crazy. I’m going to pink Bowl on Saturday and then see them in Mexico the following weekend. Cered trips around these concerts was super emotional. I definitely cried with everyone, singing each word,” said Ghavami.

Between these programs, she organized a pre-party on the theme of Oasis at Cha Cha Lounge in Silver Lake on Friday. Among her contingent of Britpop fans here, she sees parallels with the historic scanning of another group of American stadiums.

“I was not there for Beatlemania, but it looks like this,” said Ghavami. “It is usually to cringe teeth to wear a group of a group at their concert, but it gets a pass because people were from head to toe at the speed of their buckets to their socks. I see people walking in the street here with oasis equipment, and you stop asking” Are you going to the show? “”

Indeed, the lines of the Oasis Pop-up Mart Mart in Hollywood were great, while the fans rushed to commemorate the reunion they feared could never come. The delightful criticism of the tour – and a notable lack of drama between the Gallaghers – cemented this as the essential rock event of the year.

Even for the experienced veterinarians of the Oasis, the effusion of good will and camaraderie between the group and the fans was invigorating.

Kevin Cummins is a British photographer who captured the group in his first days, just before publishing his first album “perhaps perhaps”. He presents photos of his book from that time, “Oasis: The Masterplan”, at La Musicead Gallery in Hollywood from this week. Even he is taken aback by the friction without friction and joyful this meeting.

“I look at football with Christmas in England, and we talked about a reunion for years. He would still say no, it will never happen, it won’t work,” said Cummins. “So I was as surprised as anyone about the scale of these concerts and the reception they get. When I speak to Christmas after the concerts, he says that everyone is better than the last. I don’t think they even believe how huge it has become.”

Cummins photographed the group for three decades and always admired the way in which oasis fans have identified their carefree and biting humor. In a political climate where each cultural figure can become instantly polarizing, the meeting of Oasis was the closest thing that the United Kingdom obtained a national consensus.

In a ravage by fires, ice and a fraudulent mood in its characteristic entertainment industries, the return of Oasis is a rare spectacle to wait too.

“In England, the concerts were a period of renewal, if it is not too cheesy,” said Cummins. “This year was a fairly politically miserable year, so this tour arrived and has been a great distraction. Oasis has always been a group whose people were fiercely proud, and it’s like going to the football match where 80,000 people root the same team.”

Throughout the week, bars and nightclubs have thrilled their calendars with parties on the theme of the Oasis. The regulars of the Underground club, an Indie British evening several decades now at the Grand Star Jazz Club in Chinatown, would naturally occur on occasion.

“Each week,” you look at Back in Anger “is our closing song,” said Lawrence Gjurgevich, who launches Club Underground as DJ Larry G (naturally, they launch a pre-party on Friday evening). The affection for Britpop at “returns to the original Kroq, who played groups like New Order, The Smiths, The Cure,” he said. “There has always been a line here which continues with groups like Arctic Monkeys and Fontaines DC”

Gjurgevich lost his house in the late Eaton, and although he was buried in the reconstruction process, these oasis programs are both a respite and a reminder of the reason why he made a life in the Los Angeles music scene. “The shows are in our backyard, which is incredible,” he said. “We rebuild and it’s heavy, but it was something to hope for, a place to make new friends.”

Even the young newcomers, who missed Oasis in its peak in the 90s and the 2000s, were forced by this tour, said Holiday Kirk, a promoter, writer and memelord (who is partially responsible for the Nu-metal renewal among Gen Z).

“If you are under 25, you don’t remember how omnipresent oasis was. You couldn’t get away from them, they could park singles in number one by pure will,” Kirk said at the start of the thirties.

Friday, Kirk rotates Britpop for a pre-part of the Oasis in Gold Diggers. There is certainly a factor of nostalgia for older fans, but also a curiosity on the part of the youngest about a group which aroused insults, fists and cocaine to an equal measure while writing some of the most affecting songs of its times.

Fans of generation Z are “fascinated by the idea of ​​being a rock group without compromise and conquering the world. It is so far from the conception of anyone who is possible today,” said Kirk. “Can you imagine Sabrina Carpenter, in an interview, saying that she hated Taylor Swift? It’s so fun to think that you can do it and that it would not ruin your career. I saw so much Liam Gallagher Fancams on Tiktok where the comments are like` OMG, so Babygirl ” -A generation term for older men -” Ban since. “”

Even for fans from Rose Bowl programs, the Alamo Drafthouse cinema in downtown Los Angeles projected the 2016 Oasis documentary “Oasis: Supersonic” this week to offer a taste of the group to its incendiary peak.

“There is such an attraction for young audiences to see these cultural documents of a world before celebrity becomes so concerned about images and attending the stakeholders,” said Jake Isgar, head of specialized programming for Alamo Drafthouse. “The Gallagher brothers cannot help but be themselves, and that is why people are so attracted to them.”

While Pasadena will be the center of the Rock and Roll universe this weekend, Oasis has published a live card of the pre-parties and historic band sites in Los Angeles where the devoted can take a pilgrimage. (Yes, whiskey is there.) It was a sudden year for so many people in La, and the chance to finally reject as much beer as the pink Bowl will serve you and to shout to “acquiesce” and “glory of the morning” is proof that anyone – even the Gallagher brothers – can find a way to reconcile and restore.

“I saw people bringing their children to these programs, several generations with community experiences. I cannot think of another group that could have this impact,” said Ghavami. “After raids on ice cream, fires and political tensions, things are horrible. We have to bring joy to people. Something simple as one of the biggest rock and roll groups of all time. I am delighted to be alive for that.”
