O.A.R. //
The Independent – San Francisco
May 11th, 2014 //
Of a Revolution (O.A.R.) wrapped up their sold-out residency Sunday at The Independent. The band out of Maryland hand-picked the venue as part of their Extended Stay tour, and the shows were a rare treat for Bay Area fans to see the group up close and personal.
O.A.R. usually play much larger SF venues like The Fillmore or The Warfield, but Sunday’s performance encapsulated the awesomeness of the tour with a well-rounded setlist spanning their entire catalog.
Fan favorites mixed with a few new songs kept the high energy show going throughout the night. The band treated us to sing-alongs like “Hey Girl”, “Black Rock”, and of course their anthem “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker”, complete with playing-card confetti from the crowd.
As the venue emptied out after the show, one thing was clear: O.A.R. proved that they still have what it takes to please a packed house whenever they come to the City.
