The Oz

The Oz, a band from St Petersberg, Russia are planning to release an album shortly covering John Lennon Tracks entitled,"Serve Yourself or Lennon in the Revolutions".The OZ was formed in the summer of 2005 in St. Petersburg, Russia, when musicians from several unrelated bands started working together on a project of punk and post-punk covers of political and obscure John Lennon songs. The band has been working in studio smoothing out the Material for the album up until recently, and has been frequently performing in St. Petersburg and Moscow clubs and festivals.

The Album

"This is not your ordinary cover album.It is based on John's political and rare songs played in soft post-punk with the addition of a few reprises of politically-intense interviews with him. Both musically and conceptually this album shows a little different understanding of John Lennon and we really hope that people will see what we mean." says Lead Vocalist and Guitarist with the band Igor Salnikov.
