Actor Jason Momoa is bringing his rock and blues band, ÖOF TATATÁ, to Fassler Hall in Oklahoma City for a performance on Halloween night, October 31. The show is part of a series of local appearances Momoa has made while filming his new movie, Copperhead, in nearby Shawnee, as reported by FOX23.
The event serves as a rare intersection of Hollywood production and local nightlife.
Tickets and Timing at Fassler Hall
The performance will take place at 421 NW 10th Street. Tickets are priced at $20 and will be available at the door. Doors are scheduled to open at 7 p.m., with the music starting at 8 p.m.
This isn’t Momoa’s first time hitting an Oklahoma stage recently. He and his band previously played at The Vanguard this past Saturday, where they opened for The Bobby Lees, a group Momoa is reportedly a huge fan of.
The Sound of ÖOF TATATÁ
While known to the world as Aquaman, Momoa’s musical project, ÖOF TATATÁ, leans heavily into high-energy rock and blues. The band includes longtime friends Mike Hayes and Kenny Dale, according to Aloha State Daily. Their setlist is a deep dive into the foundations of hard rock, featuring covers of Metallica, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Stooges, and Jimi Hendrix, as reported by Loudersound.
The band has been building a diverse, if unconventional, tour map. Their first appearance was in April at a wrap party for the live-action Minecraft movie in New Zealand. Since then, they have played a variety of venues with wildly different entry points:
- Hawaii: A sold-out debut at Blue Note Hawaiʻi on St. Patrick’s Day with a $20 food or beverage minimum.
- Montana: A show at the 400-capacity Rialto in Bozeman.
- Tennessee & Texas: Stops at Cannery Hall in Nashville and Stubb’s in Austin.
- Washington: A free performance at the ilani Casino Resort’s Rock & Brews.
At $20, the Oklahoma City show sits in the middle of the band’s pricing spectrum, leaving it unclear if the event will mirror the sold-out crowds of Hawaii or the open-access nature of their Washington appearance.
Hollywood’s Footprint in Oklahoma
The music is a byproduct of the production of Copperhead, a thriller featuring Momoa as a veteran detective who teams up with a federal agent to uncover a conspiracy within an elite task force following a botched undercover drug deal. The film also stars Miles Teller, according to News 9.
The presence of such a production provides more than just celebrity sightings. Momoa has been seen visiting local staples like the Trolley Stop Record Shop, according to KOCO. This blending of a film shoot with local business patronage creates a ripple effect that extends beyond the soundstage.
“It helps our business, our economy, the dreamers that want to be on set.”
That sentiment, shared by a background actor speaking to KOCO, underscores the civic impact of the film industry. When Hollywood chooses a location, it doesn’t just hire a crew; it validates local talent and provides a professional showcase for Oklahoma’s production crews to prove their capabilities to visiting industry leaders.
