Introduction
The long-awaited return of Oasis is now a reality, not just on British stages where Liam and Noel Gallagher seem to have left their disputes behind, but also in other parts of the world. In Argentina, Oeisis—considered the best Oasis tribute band in Latin America—has successfully captured not only the sound but also the very essence of one of the most influential britpop bands.
The Devotion of Oeisis
Oeisis, led by Martín Pacheco as Noel Gallagher, goes beyond mere imitation. It’s a form of artistic devotion that combines technical precision, theatricality, and a deep emotional understanding of the Oasis phenomenon.
“This is from fan to fan. We love this band, and we want every show to be an immersive experience, like traveling back 20 or 30 years,” says Martín.
Origins and Evolution
Oeisis was born in Buenos Aires in 2015 from the fusion of two previous musical projects. Since then, they have perfected their stage presence to recreate iconic concerts like Knebworth 1996, one of the most iconic events in britpop history, with the same repertoire, costumes, dialogues, and attitude as the Gallagher brothers during their golden era.
Respectful Reinterpretation
Oeisis doesn’t just replicate; they reinterpret with respect. They study every gesture, every arrangement, every stage presence. Mauro Matteucci (Liam) even analyzes Noel’s microphone-holding technique to prevent vocal strain. For Martín, understanding the emotions behind each song’s composition is crucial to his interpretation.
“Noel wrote these songs; he knows what he feels. We have to guess, empathize, and study,” confesses Martín.
Meeting Noel Gallagher
Martín Pacheco had the opportunity to meet Noel Gallagher in Buenos Aires when the first High Flying Birds formation visited the city.
“We followed them to their hotel, greeted them, got autographs, and took photos,” he recalls humorously. He even shares an anecdote about the band’s drummer falling asleep in a chair, leaving him alone, reflecting the spontaneity and humanity behind the myth.
Impact and Global Phenomenon
Oeisis’ rise is not an isolated incident. As The Guardian recently noted, there’s a “global explosion” of Oasis tribute bands serving as an “emotional and cultural warm-up” for the highly anticipated official reunion. Oeisis is undoubtedly at the heart of this phenomenon.
Beyond Tribute: A Reflection of Reconciliation
Martín has witnessed the recent Gallagher shows in Manchester and London, noting a change: “There’s no resentment anymore. They’re two people at peace, making music together again. They joke around, relax… it’s a new phase.” Perhaps, as Martín suggests, their children played a role in this reconciliation.
“When their relationship started to mend, something clicked in the Gallagher brothers. I believe their children brought them together,” Martín says.
