SuperSonic at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver

It may not have been actually Oasis at the Commodore Ballroom, but SuperSonic came pretty damn close. The Toronto-based tribute band, billed as North America’s best Oasis experience, brought a loud and nostalgic night to Vancouver on June 28.
Star Collector opened the evening with a set of sharp, jangly rock that nodded to Britpop without ever copying it. Local and clearly thrilled to be there, they were a solid warm-up.
Then SuperSonic hit the stage, and it felt like 1996 all over again. The guys channeling Liam and Noel Gallagher nailed the postures, the squints, the stares, and even the attitude. It was more tribute than cosplay, and it worked. They’re a bit older than the real Gallaghers were in their heyday, but that made it feel like we were watching a dream reunion.
The set was packed with the essentials: “Live Forever,” “Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova,” but they didn’t stop there. Tracks like “She’s Electric,” and “The Masterplan,” hit a sweet spot that got the crowd fully locked in.
By the end, the singalongs were loud and the smiles wide. If you can’t afford or get tickets to the Oasis reunion, this might be the closest thing ; and honestly, it’s not a bad deal at all.
