TO PLAY AT OEF - We have been forming a big community of lunatics from all over the world
since many years. We would be pleased to have you to help us to look
for new bands and that is why we are launching the programme „TO PLAY AT
OEF“…. You can add the bands into the database as a fan, band member
or as someone helping the band. The first thing you need is a
registration (as a registered fan you can comment anything on the
website, use the forum actively etc.) and then you need all the relevant
information, photo, mp3 song, video links, band websites so
that we could check out your favourite band directly on the web, play a
song, watch a video, see the history etc. information so that the
presentation is as good as possible. We will be happy of course when
this communication really gets going. All of us at OEF believe we will
get to know many new and interesting bands thanks to this tool!
