O.A.R. (short for Of A Revolution) is in town tonight at Mystic Lake.

In a New Times interview, lead singer Marc Roberge said, "We got the name in the basement of our drummer's house back in high school...We changed it from 'Of a Revolution' to O.A.R. after we got a little big because it's easier to put on markees and stuff and people started calling us 'oar', which is fine by me."
