FIVE THREE DIAL TONE PODCAST - MAY 10th 2007
"This band is manically creative, and lucky for us, they have quite the affinity for a pop sound." "There’s simply no use winding their heaviest influences down…os mutantes, beatles, zombies, stereolab, velvet underground, roxy music, jonathan richman, the kinks, caetano veloso, antonio carlos jobim, elvis costello, the ventures, talking heads, tortoise, dinosaurs, robots, ghosts…, they’re all relentless musicphiles who devote Michealangelo-esque passion to crafting and perfecting their quirky little tunes."
THE DETROIT FREE PRESS - MARCH 9th 2007
"The Oscillating Fan Club is a Detroit quartet that bills itself as "creep pop." The band plays off-kilter melodies and gives a noticeable nod to '60s and '70s-era guitar-based pop and rock. It's not quite garage rock, but on the driveway outside the garage." Swirling, psychedelic '60s style guitars that call to mind Dick Dale and British Invasion-era bands, offset by a sharp, edgy songwriting structure that could be compared to Television or Pavement, and heavily reverbed vocals. "We're very hard to pinpoint. We're all music-philes that enjoy playing a weird mixture of music," says Thompson. "We're somewhat danceable in a very odd way. We don't sound like the typical Detroit band."
MOTOR CITY ROCKS - MARCH 8th 2007
The Oscillating Fan Club – Baker’s Streetcar, 10:15 p.m. - Psychedelic brit-pop misfits with unkempt hair, funny t-shirts, lots of pick-ups in their guitars and fuzzy pedals to manipulate the sultry sounds of their surfy-swingy guitar acrobatics. Howling crescendos over moods of both 60’s tropacalia and 90’s indie-rock…with built-in folklore of robotic dinosaurs, ancient wind ghosts, tragic yesterlores and secret penchants for the Yakuza.
THE METRO TIMES - MARCH 7th 2007
Psychedelic pop influences. Jazzmaster pickups too, for that buttery-stoned tone, you know
REAL DETROIT WEEKLY - JANUARY 17th 2007
"Completely shakable rock n' roll - if people that couldn't dance still gyrated their bodies faux-uncontrolably this would be the soundtrack of the weekend. Basically if Dick Dale, Beck and Television all dropped acid on M-1 and had an orgy with Karen O on the Boulevard, then this band would be the bastard love child."
THE LAGER HOUSE - OCTOBER 26th 2005
"Strange, experimental combo whos music tends to fall somewhat into the out category... as in out THERE. Definitely unique, fun and occasionally rocking indie psyche. "
