The Oil Band innovates
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: New Band
A 12 ft tall, long haired mad singer wearing only a battered swimsuit and tan oil all over his body; who arrives at the show riding a bicycle; jumpsup the stage and beautifully performs Elvis Presley songs accompanied by a punk band; This is The Oil Band.
Mr. Nelson Rebello, the famous The Oil Man, is an excentric former biology teacher who became known by his habit of daily riding his bicycle through
the streets of the coldest capital city in Brazil wearing only a swimsuit, a pair of sneakers with no socks and tan oil over his large and muscular body.
The polemic bicycle rider, crazy rock singer, has had nationwide promotion after his appearance on National TV where he was interviewd by one of the
most popular talk shows in the country and sang Love me Tender like very few
people could.
After having seen Mr. Rebello on TV, the former Wall Street- NY employee, Mr. Paulo Dalla Stella, residing in the same town of Curitiba, decided to
contact Mr. Rebello to form The Oil Band. The original plan was to put together a punk / hardcore band perfoming Elvis Presley songs. "Just picture, I Can't Help falling in Love starting with a Samba rythm and turning into a ferocious and fast melodic hardcore song". Although the Band is two years old, it has only recently set a few shows in
the town of Curitiba - South of Brazil, after a few changes in its original formation. Mr. Dalla Stella, the band's manager, excited about all the fuss and promotion given by the media, decided to change all the musicians to a
group of professional players. He says: "The Marketing is great, the band sounds just wonderful and we hope to at least have a lot of fun with this
project".
The band started performing in September 03 and this includes a "performing act". For additional information please contact Mr. Paulo Dalla Stella -

Comentarios de Curitiba sobre a banda:
Boas. O Oil Man n?o decepcionou os 500 curiosos que vieram conferir a sua estreia nos palcos . Nelson (e o nome dele) cantou canc?es de Elvis Presley acompanhado da excelente Oil Band, que e um show a parte. O cara(acreditem) e por demais timido e de pouquissimas palavras, mas desempenha bem. O show alterna momentos com e sem o personagem no palco. Muitas historias sobre a nossa cidade: a loira fantasma, o jacare do Parque Barigui entre outras. Foram momentos hilarios que em breve deveremos repetir. Quem perdeu se esperte.
