Garbage Album Tour

Z100 WHTZ FM
SNOasis, "Great Gorge" Valley Ski
Vernon, New Jersey
USA

A l'affiche de ce festival:
Oasis
Garbage
God Lives Underwater
Stabbing Westward

Le prix des tickets était de 36 Dollars, dont les bénéfices reversés à la fondation "Kristen Ann Carr". Après une dispute entre les frères Gallagher du groupe Oasis (Noel et Liam), le groupe n'est pas venu: excepté Noel Gallagher, qui a interprété seul à la guitare, trois titres. Garbage évoque souvent ce festival, qui leur laissa un souvenir mémorable, notamment, la température (il faisait très froid). Pour blaguer, le groupe a même rebaptisé le festival en "Snow Oasis" ("Oasis enneigé") ou encore le "No Oasis" ("Non Oasis").
Tickets price were US $36, with profits to benefit to the Kristen Ann Carr Fund. Oasis didn't turn up, but Noel did and played three songs. After an argument between the Gallagher's brothers of Oasis (Noel and Liam), the group did not come: except Noel Gallagher, who played only on stage, playing three titles on guitar. Garbage often talks about this festival, which leaves them a memorable memory, especially the temperature (it was very cold). As a joke, the group even renames the festival as the "Snow Oasis" or also the "No Oasis".

Garbage Road Report: Snow & Guitars Don't Mix
04/08/1996 - online on mtv.com
Your Garbage friends have been remiss in reporting our doings to ATN. We can work all sorts of complicated musical gear, but can't figure out how to send e-mail from Europe. Anyway, thanks for waiting, and here's what we've been doing. Made it through the snow and ice to Pittsburgh to our first in-store signing (turnout was somewhat better than Spinal Tap's), and a sold-out show that went especially well, despite our confusion caused by the Pittsburghian tendency to put the French fries on the inside of the sandwich rather than in a cardboard container where they belong. Sometimes these on-the-road cultural discrepancies can be enough to drive you bonkers, as Shirley would say. More on the total lack of ice cubes in England later. Then, it was off through another life-threatening storm to SnOasis! This was a mid-afternoon concert on a ski hill in New Jersey in sub-zero weather featuring us, Stabbing Westward, God Lives Underwater, and Noel Gallagher acoustic for two songs.
Garbage Road Wisdom: If at all possible, try to avoid mid-afternoon concerts on ski hills in New Jersey in sub-zero weather. We discovered that gloves and guitars don't mix, but we muscled through the set. We'll now stick to indoor gigs in the winter, thank you. Onward to beautiful Cincinnati, humming the "WKRP" theme song, and Indianapolis, where an excited fan somehow managed to cover the front rows with pepper spray during "Milk," our quietest song--somewhat spoiling the vibe. When we got to our hometown (except for Shirley because she doesn't live there) of Madison, Wisconsin, we were proud to hear that the mayor had proclaimed show day as "Garbage Day," complete with an official-looking proclamation. We were sad to discover that you don't actually get paid cash for these sort of things, but we had a great over-sold out show anyway, and celebrated to a greater extent than perhaps we should have afterwards at the Sidecar. Madison saw the world debut of our "Gizmotrons," weird electronic devices that whirr, sparkle, and flutter, and don't actually do anything at all. But they look cool! Will Garbage fall prey to further rock and roll excess and on-stage debauchery? Stay tuned.
