The Oogars are a four piece, all-ladies psychedelic rock outfit from the NSW Northern Rivers. First impressions reveal a sound drawing from a broad pallet, most obviously 50’s and 60’s surf rock, garage classics and a Middle Eastern psych twist. 

 

What The Oogars really shine at however, is their ability to tie their instrumental pastiche with dynamic, yet heartfelt vocals – dreamy at times, in-your-face and confronting at others. With singles dating back to 2018 and their debut EP ‘Waiting All Day’ out in the world since 2021, the band have been making their presence felt across the world, touring extensively over the years throughout Australia and Europe. The group have gained widespread recognition for their energetic and captivating live shows.

 

Their debut 4-track EP represents the transition the band endured, leaving behind uni degrees, societal expectations and previous lifestyles that weren’t serving them, to pursue something that spoke to their higher powers. The Oogars truly find their own enlightenment through making music and performing together.

 

After touring with some of Australia's best known acts such as The Babe Rainbow, Nice Biscuit and more recently, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, it's clear that the band have something special to offer and we look forward to the next instalment from the four-piece.

"Oogar", meaning to be very open minded, is an apt description of these four women and the music they create, evident in debut EP Waiting All Day." — LiveWire
