UPDATE (10/15/19 1:20 PM): Within minutes of publishing this post Oysterhead made the formal announcement of their return.
For having such a short tenure as a band, Oysterhead left a major impact. With only one album in their name and their last performance coming in 2006, it's understandable if you gave up hope on a reunion. However, it appears a reunion is not so far-fetched with some sort of announcement being teased on social media.
The supergroup was comprised of Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio, Primus bassist Les Claypool, and The Police drummer Stewart Copeland. The band was formed in 2000 when Les Claypool was contacted to create a band to perform during the New Orleans Jazz Fest. Claypool then recruited Anastasio and the two reached out to Copeland to be the final piece on drums.
That is, until late last evening on social media.
An official Oysterhead Twitter and Instagram account were launched with the message "when all else has been done and said."
The line comes from their song “Mr. Oysterhead,” and serves as the only material on the page.
While there's been no official announcement regarding a tour or new album, it's easy to speculate that something is coming from the supergroup given their silence for the past 13 years.
