"For 15 years, Dylan Shepherd's band was as close as you could get to seeing Oasis onstage. Shepherd fronts Supersonic, an Oasis tribute act that's nailed every detail of their Manchester heroes' live sets, from Liam Gallagher's anorak jacket-bedecked swagger to the precise jangle of his brother Noel's guitar. For fans worried that the famously acrimonious Gallagher brothers would never reunite after their chaotic 2009 split, Supersonic was a solid alternative."
"'Like everyone else, we were shocked and elated when Oasis announced they were getting back together,' Shepherd said. 'We came up with the concept of going and doing a bunch of shows in cities just before them to get people even more fired up, if that's even possible.' On Friday, just before Oasis plays the Rose Bowl, Supersonic will headline the Whisky a Go Go, the site of Oasis' infamous drug-fueled meltdown onstage in 1994."
