Shrek tribute band The Ogretones play Sub89 in Reading for Ogrepalooza, with a best-dressed costume competition and DJ Boo-urns.
The Ogretones play SUB89 on Thursday 29 October, from 19:00 to 23:00. They're an eight-piece live band, and the set features Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and friends on stage. The night is presented by Ogrepalooza, who run a best-dressed competition with prizes for the most creative, Shrek-tacular costumes, so there's a reason to turn up in something other than your usual night-out gear.
They describe themselves as the UK's number one Shrek tribute band, and the setlist pulls from a wide range of artists. You'll hear them play along to hits from Smash Mouth, Counting Crows, Ricky Martin, The Proclaimers, Bonnie Tyler, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin and Buzzcocks. It's a fairly eclectic mix of pop, rock and a bit of punk, all tied together by the Shrek theme.
