Ochre Oasis - medley '83 - '85 (Pete Tomsett)

Formed by three friends from the Harrow area, all with a love of Bowie and Genesis, Ochre Oasis existed from 1982 to 1987. Writing our own very imaginative music, we sent out a lot of demo tapes and played around a dozen gigs. These were mostly across north and north-west London, and mostly at venues that have since been demolished!
The band consisted of; Nick P on vocals & synth, Pete T on guitar, synth, bass and drum machine, and Chris B on synth. A couple of later gigs also included Gerard G on sax.
These excerpts are from Wading God, God Only Know, The Undiscovered Country & Mummy's Liberated Now, all recorded live at Harrow Weald College, except GON which was recorded in Pete's bedroom at his mum's house.
Nick and Chris went on to non-music futures, while Pete continued to dabble under various names such as The Enemy Within and, more recently, The Skywhales.
