man, dan moved back to LA, they all hang out together. Even if they were to get together, it's not like you're some super-secret insider who is breaking the news. You're just predicting a likely scenario based on some evidence.
nope there's more than just that. he know's what he's talking about.
what the fuck is with all these random people that act like they know everything?
its kinda making me mad...

TinTin has another name on the forum, but doesn't use it.
:o :o :o
Be it true or be it false, I think we'd be better off without all the spoilers and speculation. Brad is the most credible person we've heard from in this thread yet. You know, the conditions are promising, maybe it's true, but let's wait until we have any information. It's possible I guess that OzmaReunited and TinTin are credible inside informants, but I'm not going to take their word for it until I have any proof of who the hell they are. Random fuckbags on the internet are $0.10/12.
So basically, I definitely wouldn't rule it out, but I'm still annoyed by most of this thread.
All of this is seriously killing me here. Until we hear something from one of the band members themselves, preferably either in a post on the forums or on myspace or something, then I'm not buying it. While I would love for it to happen, I'll wait to get excited.
seriously, i'm not screwing with you.Ã, it's looking very good.

I'm glad you have an itch to share all your insider info.
It is entirely possible, you know, that they are planning to play together, but necc "get back together" and record.
And possibly you should wait for the band to release such info, so that a)you're not breaking any kind of trust you may have with them and b)you don't pass out info they don't want/aren't ready to spread.
i completely agree with you.Ã, that's why i'm not sharing EVERYTHING.Ã, but it's looking very good.Ã, you guys can contact them too, it's fairly simple to find out how.Ã, Ã,Â
I meant that you shouldn't say anything at all unless specifically told it was ok to do so, which I doubt was the case in this instance.
i wasn't specifically told not to say anything.
brad, I'm not gunna get on your case anymore. I'm certian you are only sharing out of excitment, which is understandable. I just think the band would appreciate any further exciting news to come from them. They do still have an interweb presence, after all.
fair enough, i'll keep my excited trap shut for now.

PM me stuff as well.
Im too excited to wait thank you.
Rather than coming out and saying "Hey I know you know stuff. So please tell me the stuff that you know" in the public forum, why not start the trend off yourself by sending a private message?
I just got back from seeing Piebald, and Aaron (Star's fiance) told me that Ozma is playing the Troubador in LA on December 4th!
if you're talking about the wrens show, that's gonna be yes dear.
Well, he told that me that Ozma would be playing. Ozma is not the same as Yes Dear. If Ozma's not playing then he was wrong, but it seems like he would know.
no, it's a yes dear show. jose and i talked about it.
this thread is hurting my heart...
i NEED to know if this is true.
if theyre just going to play 1 show itll be in cali anyway so ill be sad :( But hopefully there just coming back.
When I was talking to the Piebald guys and mentioned how I had never gotten to see Ozma (I just started listening to them this year) they said hopefully I would get a chance to and that they thought Ozma might be touring again. (I'm in Ohio.) So I don't know what's actually going to happen, but I took this as a good sign.
Oh man I hope this is true....
;D
It seems a little unrealistic that this would be happening plus all the guys (not star) were at a yes dear show...
;D
i'd like to shamelessly throw in another mysterious comment... because today... i heard similar information to that which is in this thread, from a source a bit closer to the band than I.
more unsubstantiated fuel to the fire!

I would love to see Ozma live again. And another album would be great. Denise is a great song. I have still never even heard D song. And there are still a bunch of songs from all three albums that I never got to hear performed live. Like Flight of the Bootymaster or Appletrees or Continental Drift. Oh man. That would be great.
The guy who started this thread was just way too sure that Ozma is definately going to reunite. I haven't heard anything from Dan or Ryen that would lead me to believe that this is definately going to happen. I have faith that they will eventually play some shows or something but I wouldn't get my hopes up for a new album or anything. At least not for a while if ever.
I was told they've been "jamming" recently. Meaning they've gotten together, since they're all in the same town, and played some music. It's been said they might do a show eventually, but that nothing is set in stone yet.
If it does eventually happen, it's going to kill me. How will I ever get to LA? Maybe Ozma can arrange some one to video tape it, or at least allow people with camcorders into the venue, wherever it might be. But I'd still kill to be there.
If Ozma plays a show in LA I might buy a plane ticket or take a road trip to see it. I've been wanting to go back to LA since I went there in 02 and this would be a good chance to be spontaneous and blow money before I graduate. Any other east coasters with me if the opportunity arises? I really hope this band plays music again.
I would give my left nipple to see ozma play again... you know... that is if I still had it.
Well if they have been jamming then that's good news. I thought Star was in New York or something. Are they jamming it 4-piece or are they all back in LA now?
Hmmm, sand baby... you from Heber?
Yes I am. Do I know you?

yes, yes i have. I guess because he's back in So Cal and settled down.
he had a different sn when he was in ny.
the funny thing is I was going to post a topic with this name but i was going to try to get the kids who just hang out here to come to off topic because i notice we have a million people who just read general ozma discussion and they should join the OT party..
but yeah. i want credible sources. screenshots or something.
here's a concept that works : dont worry about it. if ozma is going to reunite, i'm sure they'd rather tell you via myspace bulletin rather than rumors circulating around.
if ozma got back together, that'd be cool. but i'm not going to wage my hopes based on an online anonymous source.
but if irregardless i playing, thats all the satistifaction i need.

REJOICE!
wow, i thought they were waiting until the show so it would be a surprise.
yeah, I'm surprised he went into it in such depth.Ã, I was expecting it to stop at "just some guys from down the block"
HOWEVER, I'm sure you guys noticed that he we talking about Irregardless, NOT Ozma.
As for the drummer: A guy named Kenneth from the band "Adison/Addison" couldn't find too much info on the spot.
he's just a temp for the dec. 3 show i believe.
heh, so much for the vagueness and charming "ambiguity" of this thread.Ã, I was really enjoying it.Ã, I've never seen so much confusion among people who are so certain and uncertain of certain things.Ã, :P
i am just posting here to keep updated on this topic, because i rarely come to on topic discussions...
but if so... awesome
so is it a pseudonym for 'ozma?' or is it a completely different band with the same people, sans pat?
wait... wheres pat?
do they not like pat?
and is irregardless a band? if so, whats the creation date?
i just got back from vancouver to recieve the most awesome news ever

Well, (returning to the vagueness :P), Irregardless is NOT a pseudonym for Ozma as Dan has described it on the radio show.Ã, Dan says, and I quote, "...we're just going to do this one show."Ã, The December show is Irregardless.Ã, Go if you want to see Irregardless.Ã, Though some info might have leaked on who the members are, no one has released any "Ozma is reunited" info aside from pure speculation of this trouble-making topic poster.
My "OFFICIAL WORD" post is simply in regards to the December show.Ã, This is quite exciting news given what has been posted above about what Dan said--Irregardless was definitely, somewhat explained. Ã, But not Ozma. Ã, We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves without more info.

one show, to "have a good jam and see how it goes", is what he says. that, coupled with the fact that he and Ryen are writing again, suggests hope that it won't be just a one-off.
but nothing for certain, i guess.
That is kick ass news. Are they going to be covering Ozma songs, I wonder? And where's Pat?
A link to a recording of this interview would be much appreciated.
Quote from: sandbaby on November 14, 2005, 11:37:04 am
That is kick ass news. Are they going to be covering Ozma songs, I wonder?
Daniel said they'd be playing both old Ozma songs and some new stuff.
it's not covering when you play your own songs.
well.... I'd say it's "covering" since it's Irregardless playing an Ozma songs.Ã, Ã, Jefferson Starship playing a Jefferson Airplane song does not make the Jefferson Airplane song a Starship song--it's covering a song from an earlier state of the band, does that make sense?Ã, :PÃ, Considering Irregardless has not been stated to BE Ozma, I would certainly call it a cover.
Another example:Ã, If the drummer of the Get Up Kids (Ryan Pope) joined the band Koufax (which he did) and Koufax played a Get Up Kids song, would that NOT be a cover 'cause Ryan was actually in TGUK?Ã, Of course it would be a cover.Ã, But what if RYAN himself wrote the song for TGUK, and even sang the song for Koufax?Ã, If you're saying "well, Ryan is just one guy, the drummer, so it's a cover obviously" then I have to bring up the fact that his brother, who was ALSO in TGUK, is in Koufax now.Ã, So, since there's SUCH a large GUK presence in Koufax, does that mean Koufax (or, Ryan and Rob alone) could actually play GUK songs and have them NOT be "covers?"Ã, I wouldn't think so.Ã, Ã,Â
Besides, Matt Pryor, the lead of TGUK, who's now doing his band The New Ams, will not play "Get Up Kids"--that's what he calls them--songs.Ã, He doesn't just say "I won't play my 'own songs.'"Ã, Yeah, he may have written some of them, but if "The New Ams" (as he is at this point), played a GUK song, it would be a cover, for sure.
No matter how you EVER you look at it:Ã, Battlescars, Domino Effect, Alternate Dimension, Eponine, Bootymaster, etc (--you get the idea) are OZMA songs.Ã, If Irregardless plays those songs, they are playing Ozma songs.Ã, I'd say that's enough to make it a cover.Ã, If Ozma ever does officially get back together, and actually ARE Ozma, then it won't be playing covers anymore.Ã, The "new songs" that they plan to play are not Ozma songs, they are Irregardless songs (I assume--unless they are new covers of another band's new songs). ...Ã, Ã, ........
Summary:Ã, I have too much time on my hands, I love The Get Up Kids, and Irregardless will be covering Ozma songs.
is ben folds covering ben folds five when he plays some of that stuff solo now?
is weezer not weezer anymore because scott shriner is playing bass, not matt sharp?Ã,Â
but they're playing a mixture of new and old songs?Ã, is this covering the old songs? no.
all you're doing is taking out the drummer, in ozma's case, who is not significant when it comes to their music.
irregardless is a pseudonym for ozma.Ã, ryen, daniel, jose, and star are all playing, and it's a mixture of new and old songs.Ã, if you ask me, any time its just ryen and daniel playing together and they are playing ozma songs, it's ozma.
in fact, you people are taking this name irregardless to far.Ã, i don't think its even a pseudonym.Ã, if you look on the website it says "irregardless" (in quotations) in place of yes dear, meaning it's irregardless who is playing in place of them.
Even if it is just one show it doesn't change the fact that I just came in my pants.
Of COURSE "Ben Folds" is covering "Ben Folds Five" stuff. Ã, I know PLENTY of people of people who don't give a shit about Ben Folds anymore since he's no longer with "the five." Ã, And even though he's covering "BFF" songs, these people won't go see him in concert for that. Ã, I know you're not saying "Ben Folds" and "The Ben Folds Five" are the same deal--so you must agree that Ben Folds is covering songs from a past era of a past band (even though his name is featured in it.) Ã, The band "The Ben Folds Five" is an entirely SEPARATE ENTITY from Ben Folds. Ã, I know that sounds silly, but think about it. Ã, There's a reason they split up--they didn't want to be a band anymore. Ã, And actually, the AREN'T a band anymore.
You're missing the point: Ã, Weezer is of course still Weezer if they want to be called Weezer. Ã, If the members of Ozma reformed, and then gave their instruments to farm animals and claimed that THIS was the new Ozma, then THAT would be Ozma. Ã, Get it? Ã, Bands can certainly go through changes of members and such...
Now, I HOPE you did not just imply that Pat was insignificant in Ozma. Ã, If you're going to say that, I may as well throw out Star, and hell, why not, let's dump Jose too... Honestly, all Ozma needs to be Ozma is Daniel, right? Ã, WELL, if that's what Ozma decides, then YES. Ã, But from what I know, Ozma is not just a Dan Brummel solo show.
If you ask me, any time Ryen and Dan are playing together, it's up to THEM to decide what name they are playing under. Ã, Sure, your Ozma desires are satisfied if they bust out with the old school stuff. Ã, However, are you really going to argue their intentions if they walk onto stage and say, "Thanks for coming out tonight, we are 'SuperBand' and we're gonna be covering some of our old 'Ozma' songs."
A pseudonym is essentially a pen-name. Ã, It's a ficticious name to conceal a real name. Ã, Irregardless is not known to be Ozma right now, so we can certainly get our hopes up, but lets wait for some more info first. Ã, Yes, we know who's involved in the collaboration, but that doesn't make it Ozma. Ã, Let me ask you: If they didn't end up playing ONE Ozma song on December 3rd, would you still swear that it's Ozma?
I must say, it's an interesting thought that it's "irregardless" who is playing in place of Yes Dear--and maybe this was a humourous attempt by the band. Ã, However, I think Dan knows better than this... For the record, "irregardless" is not even a real word. Ã, It's become a word that is sometimes informally accepted, but personally, I'd avoid saying it altogether. Ã, Why? Ã, Well, the double negative. Ã, It doesn't actually mean what it's incorrectly implied to mean. Ã, "Regardless" is the word you're looking for... stick "Ir" in front of it, and theoretically (based on English grammar), it wouldn't quite retain the same meaning, now would it? Ã, I think Dan and the rest of the guys wouldn't make this common, foolish, grammatical error. Ã, Ã, So, this is all further evidence that when Dan says "Irregardless" will be playing the show, "Irregardless" will be playing the show (given he's being honest).
What if, today, Pat, Jose, Star, Ryen rejoined and started Ozma back up--but instead of Dan, they offered the lead to Freddie Mercury? Ã, ...Well, that'd be pretty weird (on many levels). Ã, I don't know if I'd like that all too much--I don't think it would be very true to Ozma despite 4 of 5 members being the same... Ã, But what if they started and a band called "Floopy," and then covered Ozma songs. Ã, Those would be covers right?
You guys are comparing apples and ozmanges.
dylan just beat me to the quip. >:(
Ozma has used the pseudonym Irregardless before. Saying Irregardless is not Ozma is like saying Goat Punishment is not Weezer.
THANK YOU...... i was just about to post
irregardless : ozma
goat punishment : weezer Ã,Â
(although the goat didn't play old stuff, besides hash pipe i think)
and i also think the name is a joke like i previously said.
it's freakin' ozma. dan said they're writing new material and looking for a drummer. you guys are killing me.

They're looking for a new drummer? I sure hope they aren't. I love Pat's playing. He is an excellent drummer, and it wouldn't be quite the same with out him. Have you guys checked out his new band Acute?
As for the whole covers argument. I didn't mean to spark a whole debate about the whole thing. I don't think it really matters. It's a pointless argument. I should have just asked "Are they going to be playing any Ozma songs?"
And don't forget about Jose. It's not just Ryen and Daniel. Jose is a big part of Ozma's songwriting too. Flight of the Bootymechanic. What an excellent song. He also cowrote a lot of my other favorites. Restart, Spending Time, Shybuya (however the hell it's spelled)...
I was just listening to the first song on Spending Time the other day and I discovered that Daniel, Ryen and Jose each sing lead on the section of the song they wrote. Verse - Daniel. Prechorus - Jose. Chorus - Ryen. I thought that was kind of neat. I'm sure most of you already discovered this, though.

hahaha please tell me this is not true. who are you?! felicity?!
Guys, I'm certainly just trying not to piss off the band! I mean, had Dan wanted it to be "Ozma" that is playing on December 3rd, don't you think he would have stressed that on the interview?
I mean, if I know more than I actually do, I wouldn't want to let it slip just so everyone can be totally satisfied! You have to make careful note of everyone's position. When I first showed up on these forums, a lot of people weren't pleased with the amount of info that was "slipping."
Besides, read my posts more carefully. Like I said, "I have too much time on my hands," so you can bet I'm putting a lot of thought into my long posts on the message boards.
this might be the greatest news ever....in the history of man....i hope they keep recording new stuff and tour and junk..they could just drop all that other stuff they were doing..i mean none of it was bad..but this is g-d eff'n ozma!!!christ almighty i'm excited!!

Hoooo man I'm so excited....
I'm obviously very excited by all this and I don't want to be a monkey, but I'd be lying if I said I can say that I'm not hoping they won't change the name of the band (Irregardless). You get me?
I'm not sure whether you're saying you hope they change their name back to Ozma, or that you hope they've changed their name to Irregardless (or some other name).
If it's the latter, I agree to an extent. If the guys write new music that's not anything like their old stuff, I wouldn't mind seeing them change their name to something else. I can't say I care either way. It's just good to hear they're back together playing and writing new songs.
I'm saying I think Irregardless is a crap name. I hope they call themselves Ozma again. If they won't be called Ozma (and I hope they WILL), I'd like them to be something better than Irregardless.
If the music is good (obviously will be) I don't really care what they're called - unless they are called Irregardless, which sucks.
I hope to the good lord that Irregardless is a BS, temporary name.
irregardless is just a mask name. collective they are ozma and will begin calling themselves so when they start seriously doing shows. this show is supposed to be a surprise show of sorts and for the most part, from what i understand, the show is meant to try new material in front of an audience...
lets just hope theres a bootlegger...or 2...or 3...in the crowd that night. if i go i'll be sure to try.
who are all of these people?
and ps: maybe this is why dan never responded to my proposition to play at my venue..
all i know is that i believe samantha because i know she's friends with the band, whatever their name is now.
if she says it's Ozma, then i believe it's Ozma.
my life is complete!
that doesn't mean i can't ever get my info wrong. plus, i never talk to ryen (he scares me). but i have a really good feeling about this.
ryen doesnt scare me. but i think i scare him.
but um. im just hoping that this show goes really well. really well to the point of them making a trek closer to my home. i cant make the trip to la as far as i know at this point, and that kinda bums me out.
haha, he's really nice. he just looks mean so i'm scared.

Ryen was the first member of ozma I ever met. He seems like a really nice guy, just a bit shy or socially akward.
At my concert Daniel seemed scarier than Ryen. So quiet and reserved. Well, until he sat down with Andrea, that is.. Ryen was in an extremely good mood when I talked to him. He had just gotten back from Starbucks with Star, where they'd been using the internet. We played "pass the coffee". :laugh:
Jose was awesome, Star was fine. Pat was...feeling unsocial and just wanted to drink. :-\
at a halloween party my friend violet cornered him and stole his hat (while wearing a newspaper dress) and he was really cool about it. Ã,Â
daniel has always been weird, but super nice. pat was always very friendly toward everyone except the owner of a club here because they took kristopher and i off the list once.
Wow that's really cool guys... I've only said a congrats to Jose at the show I went to. :)
Man... I may die a happy man if they do a concert near me.

Ozma has used the pseudonym Irregardless before. Saying Irregardless is not Ozma is like saying Goat Punishment is not Weezer.
Your custom title should be "voice of reason"
i hope anybody will film the concert. i'm from germany and i can't come.
Film? Unlikely, but some one has already said they're going to try and record it (audio).

(Cf. http://www.troubadour.com/EventCalendar.htm for Irregardless listing)
EDIT: You can also fax info directly to the Troubadour for cheaper will-call tickets, according to their site.
in response to several random comments:
-Yeah I am pretty sure that the only reason they are calling themselves "Irregardless" is because they haven't played together for over a year. I mean I doubt they are going to want a lot of hype over a test drive, you know? They will probably have an "OZMA" show when they are good and ready to have something they are proud to present to all of their fans who, no doubt, will have high expectations after over a year of no shows. And I also doubt they will be keeping this name as they've used it in the past for less "announced" shows.
-Don't be scared of Ryen. He is probably more scared of you than you are of him.
-Dan is pretty darn nice too (even though it's not the most important thing when it is the MUSIC you like, right? But there's something nice about knowing you are enjoying the music of a group of lovely, humble, and sincere individuals, yeah? -and all of them certainly are that).

Weren't a lot of the tensions surrounding Pat?
I kept hearing from different places that he was a bad apple for the band, like a real jerk or something, not so great to work with/be around, I dunno
Any info?
it's not any of our business.
Any info would be heresay, conjecture, personal opinion, etc.
We weren't in the band, we don't know. Some people might have more connection with the band and might know more personal details. I'd prefer, as mod, if we keep these personal details off the board. Let's respect the band and their members, and not namecall, especially when we don't know the whole backstory.

Of course I planned on moving to NYC for a while. I expected to go to a few DB shows. I didn't know he would move back though. He was here pretty much waiting for his girl to be done at Columbia. I saw him perform here once in NYC last year around Christmas though and it was a treat.

well Dan and Pat had tensions during the breakup of the band.*
Knowing that the reunited ozma drummer isn't pat, I'm going to venture a guess that they might still be a little... how do you say this...
un-friends**
As for me, I always felt that each member of the band was friendly. Jose and Ryen talked to me the most, followed by Pat and Star. I talked to Dan the least in person. AIM i've only talked to Dan, and he also seems like a nice person.
Disclaimer:
I don not know anything about Pat and his relationships with Dan and/or other members of Ozma*Based on comments by what would apparently seem as Pat's sister (?) on the OOF** Complete speculation on my part./grapevine

MOD POST:
Do not, and I do mean this, post ANYTHING in this thread that you have heard from band members unless you have STRICT PERMISSION to do so. I have already had to delete one post and I will delete further posts. This is not just my feeling, this is the request of the band.
DO NOT POST ANYTHING REGAURDING OZMA/WHATEVAS SITUATION UNLESS THE BAND MEMBER IN QUESTION LITERALLY TELLS YOU IT IS OKAY TO POST ON THE BOARD. I WILL ASSUME THIS IS NOT THE CASE IN EVERY POST I SEE FOLLOWING, AND THEY WILL BE DELETED.

well then i for one will say that i am AMAZINGLY excited that its evena possibility that they're etting back together!!! i've dreamed of this day!
Jesus christ, sarah. its one thing to play police, but its another to act as if everyone keeps a secret. if one of the band members said something to someone on here, and that person on here decided to reveal the secret he/she knows, is it our faults? the band should choose their friends more wisely. your post just looked retarded. i'm sure the band probably *wished* nothing was said, but jesus christ...this thread is the only thing half of you have anything to be grateful about.

i agree with you totally. but if the owners of this board and the mods dont want anything revealed that should be respected.
this thread did get a lot of people back to the forums, but i guess if the band members don't want certain things revealed then i dont think certain things should be revealed....it's that simple. i don't understand why many of you rush to share your personal conversations with band members to us. y
silliness all the way around, I tend to think.

As Samuel at it might sound, I'm not "playing police". I am actually the moderator of this board, and I'm doing my job as moderator. I was asked to delete a post that leaked confidential information, and in an effort to reduce the number of posts I might have to delete in the future, I was proactive and made a post clearly defining what would and would not be okay to post in this forum. While OFF is not owned by Ozma anymore, it is owned by people who respect the band enough to want to operate within their wishes. If you absolutely must leak info, do it somewhere else. Not sure why this position would get people's panties in a twist.
I'm not saying it is YOUR fault info leaked. I'm just saying such leaks will not be tolerated on the forum. All I require if you wish to post info you heard from the band is ONE SENTENCE saying "I talked to Dan/Ryen/Pat/Jose/Star and they said it was ok to say x on the board". This is not life altering.

Finally!!! Ã, I actually have to say I agree.
Sarah's not telling you guys to keep all Ozma info a secret. Ã, She's only saying you shouldn't repost personal conversations with the band. Ã, Personally, I don't know why you'd want to anyway. Ã, When I talk to Ozma member/s, I feel privileged if he/she is willing to share information with me at my personal request. Ã, When I ask Ozma a question, I ask because
I AM curious, not because I want to be the person to break the news on the board. Ã, It's unfortunate that they even now have to say to me in conversation "but don't go posting this on the forums or anything." Ã, Someone really must have disobeyed someone's trust. Ã, Honestly, I think it's a shitty thing to do. Ã, You wouldn't like it if you were telling a friend something personal--a secret--over AIM, and he/she just copied the whole conversation and posted it somewhere.
Quote from: k24 on November 22, 2005, 10:23:20 pm

I don't think it's a matter of "fault," but if it's a secret that isn't supposed to get out, then the mod should certainly delete it. Ã, It's not a punishment to the other forum users either.Ã, If there's info the band doesn't want to get out, I just hope it doesn't get posted-- and if it does, I hope the mod keeps it off the board until the time is right.Ã, Why would you want to disobey the trust of a band you like--or even moreso, of people who you talk to and who trust you?
Yeah this forum may not be 'owned' by the band any longer, but we do still 100% respect the wishes of every single band member. If they don't want something released, we don't do it. It used to be such that we wouldn't list a bootleg unless they wanted us to. I believe we are still considered their Offician Fansite, even if they technically don't exist anymore :)
The same obviously goes for confidential information. Ask if the information you get can be shared. If it can, great, share it. If it can't then consider yourself lucky.
Besides, have faith in your Moderators. We're doing what's right, we're not doing it to piss people off or keep secrets.
So anyways... What's the deal with Pat not being asked back?
also... Can someone post Ocho in the forums for me to download?

:-\ I'm assuming it was my post that leaked confidential info, because it no longer exists... Sorry for causing you any inconvenience. I just didn't figure that what Dan told me was confidential, since I rarely ever talk to him. My apologies.
Happens dude, just be sure to clear stuff in the future and we're all golden.
Good rule of thumb is to think about talking to people in Ozma like talking to a friend...is this something that your friend might want to say for themselves? Ask and I'm sure you'll be cool.

THIS JUST IN: Reuters (AP) - Southern California rock band, formerly Ozma, will be adding a new drummer by the name of Osama Bin Laden. Their new name will be Osama. At this time the band has not released any new material since adding the new drummer. Go to http://www.osamarocks.com for more info.
Damn. I'm gone for a week and I miss all the action! If anyone could PM me who leaked what with who or when why how, that would be super.
And I hear that Star is in actuality, a real star. A mass of incandescent gas. Pass it on. :-*
I heard from Jose that Pat is engaged to Reginald Vel Johnson and due to wedding cake testing Pat wont be at the show in December.Ã,Â

You silly Ozma kids, well with all your shenanigans and goings ons...
On a different note, Piebald confirmed during DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show Webcast (Nov. 10) that Ozma is playing the Troubador on Dec. 4. They mentioned this after answering my last question, which referred to what songs were played during the "epic" acoustic jam session between Piebald and Ozma that occurred one night during the Mae/Piebald/Ozma tour in 03. They said Superdrag and Beatles songs, and that Daniel played "Spanish Lullaby." I'm not sure who originally sings that song, it sounds familiar. Does anyone know?
I hope I'm not doing anything illegal regarding the reunion controversy by posting this. I'm merely repeating something that was said by a source close to Ozma over a live Webcast made available to the Online world.
Publicly available information is fine. If you talk to Ozma, and in trust Ozma (or a single member) tells you something, that is not fine. You need to get permission.
One question:
1. Why wouldn't the band want anyone to know that they are getting back together? I see it as a good thing that would make people happy. By keeping it secret, doesn't it mean that less people will show up tat the show? I don't understand thewhole not wanting anyone to know concept. I can understand not wanting o air dirty laundry, but keeping a reunion secret? ??? ::)
yeah I don't really understand what about the info that I posted was so important or confidential, but oh well.
seems like a more logical approach would be that unless the band member tells you, explicitly or implicity, to keep the information to yourself, then do so... otherwise it should be fair game, right?
it feels to me like Dan fucked up in letting it out, and then changed his mind. The mods should go drop the hammer on him! :P
i kid of course. it'll all really be of no consequence once the boys get things rolling again.
a serious question: Is this a full blown reunion or just a one show deal? Is that "off limits"...i just wanna know if there is a chance of seeing them on the east coast again...
The problem isnt with people posting "they are getting back together" or whatnot, it's actual details that could potentially hurt people's feelings. The post in question was a problem because it stated information that could do so. I made the decision to just make it easier on everyone to ask before posting to avoid such conflicts. It's not a moratorium on all things potential Ozma getbacktogther, it's just an expression of common courtesy.

Jose's myspace profile now says "My band --> Ozma." I believe it used to say "My old band." Sweet.

...hope to see some of you there this Friday. :)
**edit: Saturday...meant to say Saturday. I'll be at the Glasshouse on Friday.
will uhh anyone be recording this show?
cough
please!!!
i think bob has said that he's going to try to.
It's funny how ya'll are making this a bigger deal than you have to.
Since Gone With Ghosts isn't Ozma, I don't think them breaking up means too much.
What it does mean is that Daniel is working with different people now. Ozma is different people. Hence the hoopla.

i think the implication was that if GWtG was breaking up it would indicate that DB has something else (Ozma) lined up and that it would probably be more long term than just this one show. Considering that Yes Dear also seems to have disintegrated almost simultaneously, it seems like a decent piece of evidence to bring up.
i really don't think gwtg breaking up has anything to do with anything. just because one band broke up doesn't mean another one is getting together. we all know how dan works on alot of projects at once anyhow.
i will ride out 'this one show' for as long as i can

Yeah, that was necessary. Gone With the Ghosts had its merits and a couple good tracks. Just because they weren't your cup of tea does not mean they sucked.
...but....they did suck pretty hahdcore.

That's what I'm thinking. If they were just going to play a one-time reunion show and not do anything else, wouldn't it have been promoted more? It would be kind of mean to their fans who might not have heard about this if it was really a one-time thing.

Do not, and I do mean this, post ANYTHING in this thread that you have heard from band members unless you have STRICT PERMISSION to do so.Ã, I have already had to delete one post and I will delete further posts.Ã, This is not just my feeling, this is the request of the band.
DO NOT POST ANYTHING REGAURDING OZMA/WHATEVAS SITUATION UNLESS THE BAND MEMBER IN QUESTION LITERALLY TELLS YOU IT IS OKAY TO POST ON THE BOARD.Ã, I WILL ASSUME THIS IS NOT THE CASE IN EVERY POST I SEE FOLLOWING, AND THEY WILL BE DELETED.Ã,Â
If you want to post theories/excitment/wishful thinking/discuss what we already know, fantastic.Ã, Do so.Ã, But DO NOT SPREAD CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

star, you stone cold fox
I can never really tell if it's star or not because she always looks different... I wouldn't be able to pick her out of a crowd or anything.
Star looks good.
Hopefully I'll see her play keyboard again...
*cough*
Anyone who still does not believe it was Star, just look at the signed setlist that was posted in Ozma in Concert.
Rome, not to pick on you, but you didn't read my post very well. What I asked not to be posted were confidential conversations with band members. If someone has a private IM or convo, I asked they ask permission before posting and in their post say "Soandso said it was ok to post". Anything mentioned publically (myspace, board, at the show itself, etc) is free game and may be posted at whim.
That said, great show...lets do more discussion on the show itself in the concert forum :D It needs love too.

I'm actually not very bothered by your request. I am content with the information I've recieved, so I really am indifferent to the policy.
I'm just exaggerating as to how much I'm bothered by it.

a hybrid...i guess i can see that. to me, she seemed to have no asian features (besides the black hair...but those eyes!).
I would imagine it was a joke.
oh, that wacky mr. brummel. what will he do next?
uh, she's engaged to aaron stuart.
DON'T DO IT STAR MARRY MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry, we haven't had one of those in a while.
not that it matters but for what its worth star is part native, not asain
Hybrids are cool. Much better for the environment.
yes they are. but wait..aren't we all hybrids?
most chinese are homogenous. like myself.
but i understand that asian does not necessarily mean chinese.

I'm not THAT stupid. It's just she always appears to look different... I guess I didn't know she was blonde now, but she looks so different from video to video, and I didn't really recognize her when I saw them last summer.

haha, this is the coolest comeback :)
who was that playing keyboards for your name...
judging by the video, star is playing flute and there's some dude behind the keys...
anyone know who it was? / why ryen didn't just play them for that song?
Star is half Korean. Her mom is Korean.
that was kenn (the temp drummer) on keys. after the first song, he moved to drums. kenn can play everything.
is ozma reunited yet?
yes we can, since we have confirmation from jose, ryen, and daniel

Look around, the answers to those questions have been addressed several times.
And your grammar is probably much better than most acronym-toting American internet users. :)
that's the best news i've heard... excellent way to finish 2005 :).
I hope they tour far enough to reach these parts (the southern texas area) ... or that they play when i'm on LA ... :).
I'm very excited about this becuase I was supposed to go to a conciert on thier last tour and I couldn't make it. When I heard they broke up I was so pissed becuase i haven't seen them live yet; now maybe my dream can come true. ;D
.... damn, what have i been missing all this time?
i feel like a really bad ozma fan.
but i mean, yay! anyway.
heya pal.
is there any official news on the end of yes dear?
cause if you go to the site, they still talk about the new year and putting new stuff out. but Ive heard from this forum that they called it quits.
so... was it true? did ozma really get reunited?
Do you really have to dig up all of these old topics all of the time with the useless comments?
Quote from: Joe on December 01, 2006, 01:16:17 pm
Do you really have to dig up all of these old topics all of the time with the useless comments?
so I was reading the bible the other day and this is what it said:
"6. and the lord called upon his prophets (weezer) to spread his word 7. and the servants obeyed the master and spread his word throughout the land and the people rejoiced 8. and all was well in the kingdom 9. the prophets continued to do the will of god but this time their words fell on deaf ears (pinkerton), and the wicked people shunned them, but god said, 10. be not afraid for I am the shephard and will guide thy ways 11. but the prophets would not listen and they said to god, the people do not want to hear your word so we will preach the wicked things they want (green album etc.).12, so the lord called upon new prophets(ozma) and bestowed upon them all the powers of the old prophets and more, 13. but still the wicked people would not listen and thus after many struggles the lord called upon the new prophets and said 'the people will not hear my word and my wrath will be upon them', being disheartened the new prophets disbanded and went thieir own ways. 14, after the passing of many moons on the eve of the scourging of the evil people the new prophets came together again and begged of the lord to give them one more chance to save the people and the lord being merciful granted their request.....and thus the return of ozma.
what book is that in?
