SUMMARY:Bad Movie Night at The Oasis Pub: September 2026 Lineup
DESCRIPTION:Bad Movie Night at The Oasis Pub every Wednesday in September with five gloriously questionable pieces of cinema ranging from bargain-basement purgatory and sorority vampires to killer bees and a teenage Paul Walker trapped inside a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex. \nThe weekly cult-film night begins at 8 p.m. every Wednesday at the downtown New London pub. Admission is free\, with donations accepted toward keeping the screenings going. \nThe Oasis has made Bad Movie Night a regular part of its Wednesday schedule\, fitting alongside the live music\, games and offbeat programming that have helped make the small Bank Street bar a gathering place for more than two decades. \nSeptember’s selections lean heavily into the strange end of horror\, science fiction and action cinema. \nSeptember Bad Movie Night Schedule\n\nWednesday\, September 2 at 8 p.m. — Despiser (2003)\nArtist Gordon Hauge is fired\, dumped by his wife and then killed in a car crash\, only to discover that death has somehow made his situation even worse. He lands in Purgatory\, where monstrous Shadowmen and Ragmen serve a mysterious evil known as the Despiser. Gordon joins a ragtag collection of dead freedom fighters from different periods of history and sets out across a surreal afterlife to confront its ruler. Written and directed by Philip J. Cook\, Despiser mixes horror\, fantasy\, science fiction\, digital effects and an impressively strange vision of the afterlife.\nWednesday\, September 9 at 8 p.m. — Fit to Kill (1993)\nDirector Andy Sidaris delivers an action movie built around international intrigue\, assassins and a stolen Russian imperial diamond. Chinese businessman Chang plans to return the Alexa Diamond\, taken from Russia during World War II\, but international arms dealer Kane has other plans. L.E.T.H.A.L. agents Donna and Nicole are pulled into the fight to recover it\, leading to gun battles\, explosions\, seduction and even lethal remote-controlled helicopters. The movie stars Dona Speir\, Roberta Vasquez\, Bruce Penhall and Julie Strain.\nWednesday\, September 16 at 8 p.m. — Vampire Time Travelers (1998)\nFour college women trying to pledge a decidedly unusual sorority find themselves fighting vampires and other supernatural creatures instead. Director Les Sekely’s 65-minute horror comedy throws its characters into a deliberately chaotic mixture of bloodsuckers\, bizarre humor\, unexplained jumps through time and increasingly absurd situations. The obscure shot-on-video movie received renewed attention in 2026 with a collector’s edition release after years of obscurity.\nWednesday\, September 23 at 8 p.m. — Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)\nYes\, the premise really is what it sounds like. A mad scientist takes the brain of high-school student Michael\, played by a young Paul Walker\, and implants it inside a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex. The newly conscious T-Rex escapes\, takes revenge on Michael’s tormentors and tries to reunite with his girlfriend Tammy\, played by Denise Richards. Directed by Stewart Raffill\, the science-fiction horror comedy has become a cult favorite thanks to a premise so bizarre that explaining it almost spoils the fun.\nWednesday\, September 30 at 8 p.m. — The Bees (1978)\nSouth American killer bees are illegally brought into the United States\, where the situation becomes considerably worse when the insects mutate into an increasingly intelligent threat. As enormous swarms begin attacking cities\, scientists race to stop a disaster capable of spreading across the world. The 83-minute disaster-horror movie arrived during the 1970s cycle of nature-run-amok films and stars John Saxon\, Angel Tompkins and John Carradine.\n\nFive Wednesdays of Movies That Went Wrong in Just the Right Way\nThere is a pretty good mission statement hidden inside that lineup. \nBad Movie Night isn’t programming five merely unsuccessful movies. September jumps between movies that are interesting because of their excesses\, strange decisions\, improbable premises or sheer audacity. \nDespiser tries to construct an entire digital purgatory on an independent-film budget. Fit to Kill delivers the particular combination of espionage\, action and exploitation that became director Andy Sidaris’ signature. Vampire Time Travelers embraces the chaotic world of late-’90s shot-on-video horror. \nAnd then there is Tammy and the T-Rex\, a movie in which Paul Walker’s brain is transplanted into a mechanical dinosaur. \nBy the time intelligent killer bees arrive on the final Wednesday of September\, they almost seem reasonable. \nBad Movie Night at The Oasis\nThe Oasis Pub has been part of downtown New London’s nightlife for more than two decades\, operating from 16 Bank Street with a focus on craft beer\, live music and unconventional events. \nBad Movie Night is one of its regular weekly fixtures\, taking place every Wednesday at 8 p.m. \nThat communal setting is an important part of the concept. These aren’t necessarily movies demanding reverent silence in a dark theater. They’re movies made considerably more entertaining by experiencing the weirdness with a room full of other people. \nSeptember provides five chances to do exactly that. \nEvent Details\nEvent: Bad Movie Night: September Lineup\nDates: Wednesdays\, September 2\, 9\, 16\, 23 and 30\, 2026\nTime: 8 p.m. each Wednesday\nVenue: The Oasis Pub\nAddress: 16 Bank Street\, New London\, CT 06320\nAdmission: Free; donations accepted\nSeptember 2: Despiser\nSeptember 9: Fit to Kill\nSeptember 16: Vampire Time Travelers\nSeptember 23: Tammy and the T-Rex\nSeptember 30: The Bees \nMore information is available at the Event Website link below. \n  \n  \nFeatured image is an artistic representation inspired by the event and may not depict the actual people\, location\, or activities shown. \n

SUMMARY:Eclectic Electric\, The Forest Room and The Kosmographers Turn Oasis Into a Three-Genre Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Eclectic Electric\, The Forest Room and The Kosmographers Turn Oasis Into a Three-Genre Experiment Saturday\, Sept. 26\, when three very different corners of New England’s independent music scene share the stage at the Oasis Pub in New London. \nCalling this an indie-rock show doesn’t quite explain it. \nThe night moves from the jazz of a Connecticut guitar trio to a one-man collision of electronic beats\, live guitar and custom lighting before reaching the bass-heavy psychedelic rock of a Providence power trio. \nOasis describes the combination as moving through sophisticated jazz grooves\, hypnotic electronic beats and heavy psychedelic rock. \nIn other words\, don’t expect three bands that sound alike. \nEclectic Electric Brings the Heavy End of the Night\nProvidence-based Eclectic Electric has been working the Southern New England underground since 2015. \nThe trio features Thomas McCorry on vocals and bass\, Alyson Hammond on drums and Andrew Labossiere on guitar\, with a sound built around an unusually prominent bass presence and a mix of rock\, soul and psychedelia. \nThere are pieces of different generations in it. \nThe warmth and groove of 1960s and ’70s rock sit alongside the heavier textures of ’90s alternative and stoner rock. Rhode Island music writer Rob Duguay has described the band as bass-driven rock that incorporates heavy metal\, rhythmic elements and alternative-rock influences. \nTheir 2024 single Little Black Cat provides a good example. \nMcCorry said the band approached it with the idea of capturing something in the territory of ZZ Top or Cream. The result is less retro imitation than evidence of where Eclectic Electric’s musical vocabulary comes from. \nThe trio has become a regular presence around Providence’s independent music rooms and has also played the Particle Accelerator Music Festival. In 2025\, Eclectic Electric was nominated in the Rhode Island Music Awards’ alternative-rock category. \nSaturday brings them back to a room they already know. Oasis lists Eclectic Electric among the regional acts that have become regular performers at the New London club. \nThe Forest Room Calls It “Positive Gloom”\nThen there’s The Forest Room\, and this is where the bill takes a sharp turn. \nThe Plainville\, Connecticut project is a one-man band\, combining live acoustic and electric guitar with electronic rhythms\, progressive beats and trip-hop atmosphere. \nThe Forest Room has a name for the resulting sound: “positive gloom.” \nIt’s a pretty effective description. \nInstead of trying to reproduce the sound of a conventional band alone onstage\, the project treats electronics as part of the instrumentation. Guitar moves against programmed and electronic rhythms\, creating music that can be dark and atmospheric without becoming static. \nThe visual presentation is part of it\, too. \nThe Forest Room performs with custom-built vertical light towers\, surrounding the solo setup with changing light and giving the performance a scale that wouldn’t necessarily be expected from one musician. \nThe project has been active around independent venues throughout New England and the Northeast\, taking what is essentially a self-contained audio-visual performance into rooms normally occupied by full bands. \nAt Oasis\, that means the stage can go from a traditional jazz trio to one person surrounded by guitars\, electronics and light. \nAnd then change completely again. \nThe Kosmographers Start From Jazz\nConnecticut’s The Kosmographers occupy another part of the musical map. \nThe trio features Scott Drouin on guitar\, Fred Fagan on bass and Glen Metcalfe on drums\, working in a jazz format built around the interaction between three musicians rather than a large arrangement. \nOasis characterizes their sound as sophisticated and smooth\, but placing a jazz trio on this particular bill makes things more interesting than simply booking them for a conventional jazz night. \nImprovisation is one of the few threads that can connect jazz to the more experimental electronic and psychedelic music surrounding it Saturday. \nThe vocabulary changes. \nThe willingness to see where a piece can go doesn’t necessarily have to. \nThree Acts That Shouldn’t Necessarily Be on the Same Bill\nThat’s what makes this night worth noticing. \nA lot of three-band shows are variations on a theme. If you like the first band’s style\, there’s a good chance the next two are working somewhere nearby. \nSaturday’s lineup works differently. \nThe Kosmographers bring guitar-led jazz. \nThe Forest Room moves into trip-hop\, progressive electronic music and atmospheric guitar. \nEclectic Electric finishes the journey in the heavier territory of psychedelic\, alternative and bass-driven rock. \nIt makes the show less like three separate concerts and more like a progression. \nAnd Oasis is the kind of room where that experiment can work. \nA Small Room Built for New London’s Alternative Side\nThe Oasis Pub at 16 Bank Street has long occupied its own place in New London’s music ecosystem. \nIt’s a 21+ bar rather than a formal concert hall\, with live music sharing the space with the club’s craft beer and drinks program. \nThat intimacy matters for underground music. \nThere isn’t much distance between performers and audience\, and a band doesn’t need to fill hundreds of seats before it makes sense to put it onstage. Rooms like Oasis give regional musicians somewhere to experiment\, build an audience and share bills with acts that don’t necessarily fit neatly into the same genre. \nSaturday night may be a particularly good demonstration of why that matters. \nYou could arrive for jazz and leave having discovered a one-man electronic project. \nYou could show up for psychedelic rock and hear a guitar trio you wouldn’t otherwise encounter. \nOr you could simply let three very different approaches to making music take over the same small stage. \nThe show begins at 9 p.m. \nMore information is available at the Event Website link below. \nDetails\nEvent: Eclectic Electric with The Kosmographers and The Forest Room\nDate: Saturday\, Sept. 26\, 2026\nTime: 9 p.m.\nVenue: The Oasis Pub\nAddress: 16 Bank Street\, New London\, CT 06320\nAge: 21+\nPerformers: Eclectic Electric\, The Kosmographers and The Forest Room\nMusic: Jazz\, electronic\, trip-hop\, psychedelic rock\, alternative rock and rock\nOasis Saturday Hours: 7 p.m.–2 a.m.\nAdmission: A confirmed admission price was not published on the official event page at the time of publication. \n  \n  \nFeatured image is an artistic representation inspired by the event and may not depict the actual people\, location\, or activities shown.

SUMMARY:Post Songs of the Sea Shanty Pub Sing
DESCRIPTION:Post Songs of the Sea Shanty Pub Sing moves the maritime music from Parade Plaza as part of the CT Maritime Heritage Festival into Oasis Pub on Saturday\, September 12\, with veteran chanteyman Marc Bernier hosting an informal night of sea songs immediately following Songs of the Sea 2026. \nThe pub sing begins at 7 p.m. at Oasis Pub\, 16 Bank Street in downtown New London\, almost as soon as The Dreadnoughts finish the final set of the free Songs of the Sea concert across the street. \nThere is no announced band lineup and no conventional stage show to watch. \nThat’s the point. \nA pub sing turns the audience into part of the music. Someone starts a song\, the room picks up the chorus and another singer eventually launches the next one. Expect traditional chanteys\, maritime songs\, drinking songs\, Irish and British folk material and whatever else the singers in the room happen to know. \nAnd Saturday should bring an unusually deep bench of people who know the songs. \nFrom Parade Plaza Straight Into the Pub\nThe timing is deliberate. \nSongs of the Sea runs throughout Saturday afternoon at Parade Plaza as part of the Connecticut Maritime Heritage Festival\, with six acts representing different corners of maritime\, traditional and folk-punk music. \nNone Of Us Saints opens at 2 p.m.\, followed by Littlefield & Morneault\, Marc Bernier\, Hold Fast and New London’s My Druthers. \nAt 6 p.m.\, Canadian folk-punk band The Dreadnoughts takes the final slot\, finishing at approximately 6:45. \nThen everyone has to do is cross the street. \nThe poster for the evening couldn’t make the transition much clearer: \n“Starts when the concert ends.” \nOasis Pub sits at 16 Bank Street\, directly across from the Parade Plaza area. Its normal Saturday opening time is 7 p.m.\, which essentially allows the afternoon concert crowd to walk out of Songs of the Sea and into the next round of singing. \nThis Time\, Marc Bernier Isn’t Just Performing\nBernier already has a 3:30 p.m. performance slot at Songs of the Sea. \nA few hours later\, his role changes. \nHe becomes the host. \nThat’s a good job for someone who spent more than 30 years on staff at Mystic Seaport Museum\, including five years working as one of the museum’s chanteymen. \nBernier has also worked as a musician and educator with the Hudson River’s Clearwater program and has sailed aboard traditional vessels as a cook\, deckhand and entertainer from Maine to the Chesapeake Bay. \nHis repertoire draws heavily from Ireland\, Britain and the northeastern United States\, particularly maritime songs\, pub songs and drinking songs. \nHe accompanies himself on guitar\, mandolin and tenor banjo\, but his musical background goes considerably further. Bernier plays bodhrán in Irish music and frottior\, or rubboard\, in Cajun and Zydeco music. \nHe’s also been part of Connecticut’s fife-and-drum community since his teenage years\, performing and teaching and eventually taking his fife playing throughout North America and Europe. \nFor the pub sing\, however\, Bernier’s most important instrument may simply be his voice. \nHe’s a traditional song leader. \nA Pub Sing Isn’t a Concert\nIf you’ve never attended a maritime pub sing\, don’t expect Saturday night to operate like the concert that precedes it. \nThere doesn’t need to be a carefully programmed set list. \nThere may not even be a clear separation between performer and audience. \nOne singer starts. \nEveryone who knows the chorus joins in. \nThen somebody else takes a turn. \nSome songs may be accompanied by instruments. Others work best with nothing but voices. \nPeople who don’t know a song can usually figure out the chorus after hearing it once or twice. \nThat’s one reason maritime music lends itself particularly well to this kind of gathering. \nMany of the songs were designed for participation in the first place. \nA Chantey Was Music With a Job\nThe sea chantey began as working music aboard sailing vessels. \nA chanteyman supplied the verses while sailors responded together on the chorus or refrain. The rhythm helped coordinate physical labor that required several people to pull\, push or move at the same time. \nDifferent kinds of work produced different kinds of chanteys. \nHalyard chanteys helped coordinate the heavy pulling involved in raising sails. \nShort-drag or short-haul chanteys suited jobs requiring shorter bursts of effort. \nCapstan and windlass songs accompanied longer\, repetitive tasks such as raising an anchor. \nNot every song sailors sang was a work chantey\, either. \nWhen the day’s labor ended\, sailors also sang for entertainment. Those recreational songs are often called forebitters\, a name associated with sailors gathering near the forebitts on deck during their free time. \nThat distinction gets blurred today\, when “sea shanty” is frequently used as a catch-all description for almost any traditional maritime song. \nAt a pub sing\, the distinction matters less than the chorus. \nThe Songs Were Built to Be Learned Quickly\nThere was a practical reason chanteys relied so heavily on repetition and call-and-response. \nThe crew needed to join in. \nA sailor didn’t need sheet music or formal training. The chanteyman could improvise verses while everyone else supplied the familiar response. \nThat structure has given the music remarkable durability. \nSomeone can walk into Oasis Saturday knowing none of the songs and still participate. \nListen to the first chorus. \nListen again. \nBy the third one\, sing. \nThere aren’t many musical traditions where a complete newcomer can become part of the ensemble in less than a minute. \nNew London Already Has a Living Shanty Scene\nSaturday’s pub sing isn’t an attempt to manufacture a maritime tradition for festival weekend. \nPeople are already singing these songs here. \nOasis has hosted Sea Shanty Nights featuring New London groups My Druthers and Bards of Gungywamp. One was held as recently as August 28. \nThose evenings mix sea songs\, Celtic folk\, old maritime tunes\, drinking songs and working-class ballads. \nMy Druthers has become particularly closely connected to the local scene. \nThe New London-based rotating collective\, led by Stuart Fensom\, approaches maritime music from punk-rock roots. Its repertoire combines traditional chanteys\, Irish rebel songs and working-class folk\, often using guitar\, fiddle\, banjo and mandolin. \nBards of Gungywamp takes another expansive approach\, mixing Celtic folk and chanteys with bluegrass\, old-time music\, country\, Cajun influences\, punk and original songs inspired by New England history and folklore. \nThe result is a maritime music community that isn’t especially interested in keeping traditional songs sealed behind museum glass. \nPeople still sing them because they’re fun to sing. \nSaturday Could Produce an Interesting Room\nThe timing of this particular pub sing makes it different from an ordinary shanty night. \nLook at who’s playing across the street during the afternoon. \nLittlefield & Morneault are veteran maritime musicians with deep connections to traditional sea music. \nBernier is performing. \nMy Druthers is performing. \nThe Dreadnoughts are in town. \nNone Of Us Saints and Pennsylvania Celtic-punk band Hold Fast are on the bill. \nThe organizers haven’t announced a lineup of special guests for the Oasis sing\, so nobody should assume that every Songs of the Sea performer will appear. \nBut New London will have an unusually large concentration of maritime\, Celtic and folk-punk musicians within a few blocks Saturday. \nA pub sing is exactly the kind of event where that matters. \nOasis Is a Natural Place for It\nOasis Pub has been part of New London’s downtown music culture for years. \nIt’s small. \nThat’s an advantage for this. \nA room built for hundreds of spectators would work against the intimacy of a traditional pub sing. Oasis puts people close together\, where one unaccompanied voice can start a song and the rest of the room can answer. \nThe Bank Street bar is primarily known for craft beer and live music\, with 20 rotating drafts and a large selection of cans alongside wine\, cocktails and nonalcoholic choices. \nIt’s also emphatically a music bar. \nTouring and regional bands have passed through its small room\, while its current programming ranges from indie rock and punk to DJs\, movie nights and maritime music. \nFor Saturday’s pub sing\, the modest size should make the distinction between stage and audience almost irrelevant. \nThere’s a Long History Behind Singing Sea Songs in a Pub\nMaritime music and drinking establishments have been companions for a very long time. \nPort cities were filled with boarding houses\, taverns and waterfront saloons catering to sailors between voyages. \nSongs traveled with them. \nA sailor might learn a melody in one port\, carry it across an ocean and hear it again with different words somewhere else. Chanteymen borrowed from folk songs\, popular music\, minstrel songs\, spirituals and whatever else circulated through the ports. \nSongs evolved because they were transmitted person to person. \nThere was no definitive recording to consult. \nThat helps explain why the same traditional maritime song can exist under different titles\, with different verses\, melodies or even choruses. \nA pub sing continues that oral tradition in miniature. \nNobody needs to perform the definitive version. \nThere probably isn’t one. \nFrom Maritime Heritage to Maritime Participation\nMuch of the Connecticut Maritime Heritage Festival is understandably about looking. \nVisitors can look at ships. \nTour historic sites. \nWatch demonstrations. \nSee exhibits. \nLearn about whaling\, submarines\, the Coast Guard\, the Navy and the people who built their lives around the Thames River. \nSongs of the Sea moves a little closer to participation by putting living maritime music in the center of downtown. \nThe Shanty Pub Sing finishes the journey. \nThere isn’t really an audience anymore. \nThe old songs survive because somebody starts singing them and somebody else answers. \nThat’s what Saturday night at Oasis is for. \nSongs of the Sea ends across the street around 6:45. \nOasis opens at 7. \nMarc Bernier starts a song. \nThe rest is up to the room. \nDetails\nEvent: Post Songs of the Sea Shanty Pub Sing\nDate: Saturday\, September 12\, 2026\nTime: 7 p.m.\nHost: Marc Bernier\nVenue: Oasis Pub\nAddress: 16 Bank Street\, New London\, CT 06320\nAges: 21+\nFormat: Informal participatory maritime pub sing\nMusic: Sea chanteys\, maritime songs\, folk songs\, pub and drinking songs\nRelated Event: Songs of the Sea 2026 at Parade Plaza\nSongs of the Sea: 2–6:45 p.m.\nLocation From Concert: Oasis Pub is across Bank Street from the Parade Plaza area\nSaturday Oasis Hours: 7 p.m.–2 a.m.\nPhone: 860-447-3929\nFood: Oasis is primarily a bar and music venue rather than a full-service restaurant\nDrinks: Craft beer\, canned drinks\, wine and nonalcoholic options are available\nParticipation: No maritime-music experience is necessary; pub sings are built around group choruses and audience participation \n  \n  \nFeatured image is an artistic representation inspired by the event and may not depict the actual people\, location\, or activities shown.

SUMMARY:Bad Movie Night at The Oasis Pub: September 2026 Lineup
DESCRIPTION:Bad Movie Night at The Oasis Pub every Wednesday in September with five gloriously questionable pieces of cinema ranging from bargain-basement purgatory and sorority vampires to killer bees and a teenage Paul Walker trapped inside a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex. \nThe weekly cult-film night begins at 8 p.m. every Wednesday at the downtown New London pub. Admission is free\, with donations accepted toward keeping the screenings going. \nThe Oasis has made Bad Movie Night a regular part of its Wednesday schedule\, fitting alongside the live music\, games and offbeat programming that have helped make the small Bank Street bar a gathering place for more than two decades. \nSeptember’s selections lean heavily into the strange end of horror\, science fiction and action cinema. \nSeptember Bad Movie Night Schedule\n\nWednesday\, September 2 at 8 p.m. — Despiser (2003)\nArtist Gordon Hauge is fired\, dumped by his wife and then killed in a car crash\, only to discover that death has somehow made his situation even worse. He lands in Purgatory\, where monstrous Shadowmen and Ragmen serve a mysterious evil known as the Despiser. Gordon joins a ragtag collection of dead freedom fighters from different periods of history and sets out across a surreal afterlife to confront its ruler. Written and directed by Philip J. Cook\, Despiser mixes horror\, fantasy\, science fiction\, digital effects and an impressively strange vision of the afterlife.\nWednesday\, September 9 at 8 p.m. — Fit to Kill (1993)\nDirector Andy Sidaris delivers an action movie built around international intrigue\, assassins and a stolen Russian imperial diamond. Chinese businessman Chang plans to return the Alexa Diamond\, taken from Russia during World War II\, but international arms dealer Kane has other plans. L.E.T.H.A.L. agents Donna and Nicole are pulled into the fight to recover it\, leading to gun battles\, explosions\, seduction and even lethal remote-controlled helicopters. The movie stars Dona Speir\, Roberta Vasquez\, Bruce Penhall and Julie Strain.\nWednesday\, September 16 at 8 p.m. — Vampire Time Travelers (1998)\nFour college women trying to pledge a decidedly unusual sorority find themselves fighting vampires and other supernatural creatures instead. Director Les Sekely’s 65-minute horror comedy throws its characters into a deliberately chaotic mixture of bloodsuckers\, bizarre humor\, unexplained jumps through time and increasingly absurd situations. The obscure shot-on-video movie received renewed attention in 2026 with a collector’s edition release after years of obscurity.\nWednesday\, September 23 at 8 p.m. — Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)\nYes\, the premise really is what it sounds like. A mad scientist takes the brain of high-school student Michael\, played by a young Paul Walker\, and implants it inside a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex. The newly conscious T-Rex escapes\, takes revenge on Michael’s tormentors and tries to reunite with his girlfriend Tammy\, played by Denise Richards. Directed by Stewart Raffill\, the science-fiction horror comedy has become a cult favorite thanks to a premise so bizarre that explaining it almost spoils the fun.\nWednesday\, September 30 at 8 p.m. — The Bees (1978)\nSouth American killer bees are illegally brought into the United States\, where the situation becomes considerably worse when the insects mutate into an increasingly intelligent threat. As enormous swarms begin attacking cities\, scientists race to stop a disaster capable of spreading across the world. The 83-minute disaster-horror movie arrived during the 1970s cycle of nature-run-amok films and stars John Saxon\, Angel Tompkins and John Carradine.\n\nFive Wednesdays of Movies That Went Wrong in Just the Right Way\nThere is a pretty good mission statement hidden inside that lineup. \nBad Movie Night isn’t programming five merely unsuccessful movies. September jumps between movies that are interesting because of their excesses\, strange decisions\, improbable premises or sheer audacity. \nDespiser tries to construct an entire digital purgatory on an independent-film budget. Fit to Kill delivers the particular combination of espionage\, action and exploitation that became director Andy Sidaris’ signature. Vampire Time Travelers embraces the chaotic world of late-’90s shot-on-video horror. \nAnd then there is Tammy and the T-Rex\, a movie in which Paul Walker’s brain is transplanted into a mechanical dinosaur. \nBy the time intelligent killer bees arrive on the final Wednesday of September\, they almost seem reasonable. \nBad Movie Night at The Oasis\nThe Oasis Pub has been part of downtown New London’s nightlife for more than two decades\, operating from 16 Bank Street with a focus on craft beer\, live music and unconventional events. \nBad Movie Night is one of its regular weekly fixtures\, taking place every Wednesday at 8 p.m. \nThat communal setting is an important part of the concept. These aren’t necessarily movies demanding reverent silence in a dark theater. They’re movies made considerably more entertaining by experiencing the weirdness with a room full of other people. \nSeptember provides five chances to do exactly that. \nEvent Details\nEvent: Bad Movie Night: September Lineup\nDates: Wednesdays\, September 2\, 9\, 16\, 23 and 30\, 2026\nTime: 8 p.m. each Wednesday\nVenue: The Oasis Pub\nAddress: 16 Bank Street\, New London\, CT 06320\nAdmission: Free; donations accepted\nSeptember 2: Despiser\nSeptember 9: Fit to Kill\nSeptember 16: Vampire Time Travelers\nSeptember 23: Tammy and the T-Rex\nSeptember 30: The Bees \nMore information is available at the Event Website link below. \n  \n  \nFeatured image is an artistic representation inspired by the event and may not depict the actual people\, location\, or activities shown. \n

SUMMARY:ROMXN With Mutter & The Knife Kickers at The Oasis Pub
DESCRIPTION:ROMXN With Mutter & The Knife Kickers at The Oasis Pub on Saturday\, September 5. \nThe 21-and-over show starts at 9 p.m. and moves across several corners of independent music rather than sticking to a single sound. ROMXN brings hook-driven alternative pop and indie rock\, Mutter pushes into emotionally charged indie rock with jazz influences\, and The Knife Kickers approach the night from the rawer acoustic emo and indie-folk side. \nFor The Oasis\, it’s exactly the kind of bill the small Bank Street room is built for: regional musicians playing close enough to the audience that there’s little separation between the show and the crowd. \nROMXN Brings Providence Alt-Pop to New London\nROMXN is the project of Providence singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jack Zornado. \nHis music occupies the space between alternative pop and indie rock\, pairing introspective songwriting with melodic hooks and arrangements built from guitar\, bass and keyboards. \nZornado has also taken a hands-on approach to creating ROMXN’s music\, handling multiple instruments as the songs are constructed rather than treating the project strictly as a conventional singer-fronted band. \nThe project gained attention within the Providence independent scene with releases including Letters of Love in late 2023 and songs such as “My Boys” and “Loverboy.” \nThat melodic side of the Providence scene makes ROMXN an interesting anchor for a bill that gets progressively rougher around the edges. \nMutter Mixes Indie Rock With Jazz Accents\nProvidence’s Mutter brings a different sound to the takeover. \nThe band’s core lineup consists of Molly Halpin on vocals and guitar\, Tyler Faria on drums\, Dante Krystman on bass and Riley Wicks on guitar and vocals. \nMutter combines indie and alternative rock with emotionally direct songwriting and occasional jazz influences. The group has also worked with tenor saxophone\, adding another texture to a sound that can move between quieter passages and considerably more forceful live arrangements. \nThe band’s first album\, Imitation Crab\, arrived in 2021. \nSingles including “Jaundice” and “Play it Off” followed as Mutter continued building its place within Providence’s DIY music community. \nIn early 2026\, the band released its second full-length album\, I’ll Wait and Pray\, giving Saturday’s Oasis audience a chance to hear a group arriving in New London with a substantial new collection of music behind it. \nThe Knife Kickers Take the Acoustic Route\nThe Knife Kickers bring the most stripped-down and folk-influenced component of the three-band lineup. \nThe project has roots in both Connecticut and Providence’s independent music communities and began as a lo-fi bedroom recording project before expanding into different live configurations. \nEarly releases included 2018’s scratch and 2019’s catching up\, eating shit. \nThe music leans heavily on acoustic guitar\, vulnerable vocals and personal songwriting\, pulling together elements of indie folk\, emo and alternative rock. \nDepending on the setting\, The Knife Kickers can operate as a solo project or expand into a full-band arrangement. \nThe timing of the Oasis performance is particularly good for anyone who hasn’t kept up with the project. \nIn August\, The Knife Kickers teamed with Connecticut independent record store and label Redscroll Records for the release of the 12-track an acoustic album on limited-run bio-vinyl. \nThat puts the September 5 show just weeks after the new record’s arrival. \nThree Different Sides of the Regional DIY Scene\nCalling the night a “PVD Takeover” makes sense geographically\, but the lineup also demonstrates how broad the independent Providence music community has become. \nThere isn’t one standardized Providence sound represented here. \nROMXN can lean toward polished hooks and alternative pop. \nMutter sits deeper in indie rock while allowing jazz elements into the arrangements. \nThe Knife Kickers can reduce everything to acoustic guitar and emotionally exposed songwriting. \nWhat connects the three is the DIY ecosystem around them. \nProvidence has long supported a network of small clubs\, unconventional performance spaces\, independent promoters and musicians whose audiences often overlap even when the music doesn’t. \nNew London has its own version of that ecosystem\, which makes The Oasis a natural landing point for a Providence-focused night. \nThe Oasis Keeps the Show Small\nThe Oasis Pub has become one of downtown New London’s reliable rooms for independent and underground music. \nLocated at 16 Bank Street\, the bar is deliberately small\, putting bands and audiences into the same tight space rather than trying to reproduce the experience of a larger concert venue. \nIts booking regularly moves through indie rock\, punk\, metal\, alternative music\, DJs and touring underground acts. \nThe bar itself emphasizes craft beer alongside the music\, with a rotating selection that frequently includes Connecticut and regional breweries. \nFor PVD Takeover\, the size of the room should work in the show’s favor. \nROMXN\, Mutter and The Knife Kickers are coming from a music community built around small-room performances. Moving that lineup about 50 miles down Interstate 95 doesn’t require changing the format. \nIt just brings the Providence scene to Bank Street for a night. \nEvent Details\nEvent: PVD Takeover: ROMXN with Mutter & The Knife Kickers\nDate: Saturday\, September 5\, 2026\nTime: 9 p.m.\nVenue: The Oasis Pub\nAddress: 16 Bank Street\, New London\, CT 06320\nPerformers: ROMXN\, Mutter and The Knife Kickers\nMusic: Alternative pop\, indie rock\, indie folk and emo\nAge: 21+ \nMore information is available at the Event Website link below. \n\n  \nFeatured image is an artistic representation inspired by the event and may not depict the actual people\, location\, or activities shown. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Multiplier with DJ W.O.W. at The Oasis Pub
DESCRIPTION:Multiplier with DJ W.O.W. at The Oasis Pub turns the small Bank Street music room into a dance floor on Saturday\, August 15\, with an opening DJ set followed by two hours of live electronic music. DJ W.O.W. starts the night from 8 to 9 p.m.\, before New London-area band Multiplier takes over from 9 to 11 p.m. \nMultiplier isn’t a conventional rock band with a few electronic elements added around the edges. The group builds its sound from house\, EDM\, dub\, electro-funk\, funk\, breakbeat\, hip-hop and trip-hop\, creating music intended for dancing while musicians perform it live. Their shows also lean heavily into the visual side\, using lasers\, video projections and other multimedia to turn the room into part of the performance. \nThat approach should be particularly interesting inside The Oasis Pub. Oasis is one of downtown New London’s small independent music rooms\, where the stage sits only a few feet from the audience. The venue regularly books emerging bands\, underground electronic acts and DJs rather than operating like a traditional concert hall. \nAbout Multiplier\nMultiplier comes out of the southeastern Connecticut music scene\, with its members playing together in different forms for more than a decade before formalizing the project. \nThe easiest way to understand them may be to start with the groove. \nHouse and EDM provide some of the foundation\, but Multiplier pulls in dub\, hip-hop\, trip-hop\, breakbeat and funk rather than staying inside one electronic genre. A June 2026 profile described their music as unmistakably club-oriented but with a psychedelic edge and unexpected changes working their way through the groove. (Post Road Review) \nThey’re also a live electronic band\, an important distinction from watching a producer perform a DJ set. \nThat combination has made Multiplier a good fit for everything from clubs and theaters to outdoor festivals and unconventional parties. The group describes the shows as multimedia experiences incorporating lasers\, video screens and digital artists alongside the music. \nThey’ve been particularly active around New London this summer. Multiplier hosted its fifth annual Summer Party at Hygienic Art Park in June and played the Connecticut College Arboretum’s new Summer Concert Series in July. \nNow they’re squeezing all of that into Oasis. \nDJ W.O.W. Opens the Night\nDJ W.O.W. starts the evening with a one-hour set from 8 to 9 p.m. \nDJ W.O.W. has previously appeared on downtown bills\, including sets associated with The Social\, and has already shared a bill with Multiplier this year. The two acts performed together at The Social in March\, where Multiplier was similarly presented as a dance-focused mix of house\, EDM\, dub\, electro-funk\, breakbeat\, hip-hop and trip-hop. \nThat makes Saturday’s pairing at Oasis less random than it might appear. W.O.W. gets the room moving first. Then the live band takes over. \nInside The Oasis Pub\nOasis has been part of New London’s alternative music culture for years. \nIt’s a small\, 21-and-over craft beer bar and live music room at 16 Bank Street\, with the bar running along much of the space and the stage tucked into the back. On show nights\, that leaves an open area in front of the stage for the crowd. \nThere are no giant video walls separating the performers from the audience. No distant seats. \nFor a band that actively wants people dancing\, that intimacy works. \nOasis also puts unusual emphasis on its beer selection\, currently advertising 20 drafts and more than 60 cans\, alongside wine\, canned cocktails\, cider\, nonalcoholic options and other drinks. \nSaturday hours run from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m.\, so the bar remains open after Multiplier’s scheduled set ends. \nTwo Different Kinds of Electronic Performance\nThere’s a nice progression built into the schedule. \nFrom 8 to 9 p.m.\, DJ W.O.W. controls the room from the decks. \nAt 9 p.m.\, Multiplier changes the equation. Electronic music becomes a live-band performance\, with musicians creating the rhythms\, textures and improvisations in real time while the visual production fills the room. \nBy 11\, Oasis may feel considerably smaller than it did when the doors opened. \nEvent Details\nDate: Saturday\, August 15\, 2026 \nTime: 8:00–11:00 p.m. \nDJ W.O.W.: 8:00–9:00 p.m. \nMultiplier: 9:00–11:00 p.m. \nLocation: The Oasis Pub \nAddress: 16 Bank Street\, New London\, CT 06320 \nAge Restriction: 21+ \nMusic: House\, EDM\, dub\, electro-funk\, funk\, breakbeat\, hip-hop and trip-hop \nVenue: Intimate downtown craft beer bar and live music room \nSaturday Venue Hours: 7:00 p.m.–2:00 a.m. \nMore Information\nMore information is available at the Event Website link below. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Don’t Tell Mom at The Oasis Pub
DESCRIPTION:Don’t Tell Mom at The Oasis Pub brings a full night of house and dance music to downtown New London on Friday\, August 14\, with Brian Carter and Nové Bloc returning to the party and Miami-based DJ Grahm Radio making his Connecticut debut. \nThis isn’t a conventional concert with a headliner\, an opener and everybody staring toward a stage. Don’t Tell Mom is built around the dance floor. The music moves through house\, disco\, deep grooves and electronic sounds\, with the DJs handing the room from one set to the next as the night progresses. \nThere’s also considerably more experience behind this lineup than the names alone suggest. Carter has been involved in underground dance music for more than three decades\, while the two DJs behind Nové Bloc bring touring and recording backgrounds to their sets. Grahm Radio adds another angle entirely: a house DJ and music curator who has developed an international following around his weekly Immersive Groove mixes. \nBrian Carter\nCarter was born in London and began his musical life playing percussion in the British new wave scene. After moving to the United States\, he became involved with San Francisco’s early underground rave culture before establishing Dancebeatroute\, an event series that helped take his work to both coasts. \nHis background includes some of the Northeast’s longest-running club residencies as well as early dance-music boat parties in New York City. These days\, his sets can move through disco\, jazz house\, soulful grooves and house\, reflecting a record collection accumulated over decades rather than one narrow electronic genre. \nThat history makes him something of an elder statesman on Friday’s bill. He’s not playing at house music. He’s been around it long enough to have watched entire generations of the scene come and go. \nNové Bloc\nNové Bloc is the DJ partnership of Jaromir Kurty and Greg Tessitore. \nTogether\, the pair bring more than a decade of touring experience\, including performances both in the United States and internationally. They’ve also released music through established record labels while accumulating the kind of enormous personal music libraries that tend to happen when DJs spend years searching for the next record nobody else in the room thought to play. \nTheir sets aren’t confined strictly to contemporary house. The duo has also leaned into disco and older dance records\, which gives Don’t Tell Mom room to move backward and forward through dance music rather than staying locked into one sound all night. \nGrahm Radio Makes His Connecticut Debut\nThe wildcard on Friday’s lineup is Grahm Radio\, making what organizers bill as his Connecticut debut. \nGrahm Radio is a Miami-based house DJ\, producer and music curator whose work centers on discovering and sharing new house music. His ongoing Immersive Groove series is a weekly deep-tech mix built partly from music submitted to him by artists and record labels around the world. \nHis background isn’t limited to DJing. Grahm Radio has described growing up on an unusually broad musical diet that included classic rock\, Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead before discovering house music and jam bands in college. He began DJing around 2019 and launched the Grahm Radio project in 2020. \nThe project has grown into more than a series of mixes. He now operates a community centered on unreleased house music\, sharing large weekly collections of unreleased tracks with subscribers and highlighting new producers through his platform. \nFor a small Bank Street room in New London\, that’s a pretty interesting guest to drop into the lineup. \nAn Electronic Night Inside Oasis\nThe Oasis Pub is particularly well suited to a night like this because there isn’t much distance between performer and crowd. \nThe 21+ Bank Street bar has developed a reputation as one of downtown New London’s small independent music rooms\, regularly hosting local musicians\, touring underground acts and DJ nights. Its size is part of the appeal. This isn’t a cavernous nightclub with the DJ somewhere across the room. \nWhen Oasis fills\, it fills. \nThe bar itself has a strong craft-beer identity\, with a rotating selection that emphasizes Connecticut and regional breweries alongside canned drinks\, cocktails and nonalcoholic options. Friday hours extend until 2 a.m.\, giving Don’t Tell Mom plenty of room to keep going after the 9 p.m. start. \nAnd the event description’s promise of a dance floor that keeps moving “until you’re legally not allowed to be in the venue anymore”? \nOasis closes at 2. \nNow you know. \nEvent Details\nDate: Friday\, August 14\, 2026 \nTime: 9:00 p.m. \nEvent: Don’t Tell Mom \nDJs: Brian Carter\, Nové Bloc and Grahm Radio \nSpecial Appearance: Grahm Radio’s Connecticut debut \nLocation: The Oasis Pub \nAddress: 16 Bank Street\, New London\, CT 06320 \nMusic: House\, EDM\, disco and electronic dance music \nAge Restriction: 21+ \nVenue: Intimate downtown craft beer bar and live music room \nFriday Venue Hours: 5:00 p.m.–2:00 a.m. \nPhone: (860) 447-3929 \nMore Information\nMore information is available at the Event Website link below. \n  \n\n
