Drive Shaft was a one-hit-wonder band. Charlie Pace played bass, sang backup, and was the principal songwriter. Liam Pace was the showman. He was the lead singer of the band. Patrick Gleason was the drummer and he was the best friend of Charlie. And the fourth member, Adam "Sinjin" St. John, played guitar.
- They have at least two songs: You All Everybody and Drive Shaft.
- Drive Shaft's success didn't last, which led to them making adverts on the back of the success of You All Everybody, repenning the lyrics to You All Every Butties.
- In House of the Rising Sun, Locke claims to have been a fan, preferring their self-titled debut album to the followup, Oil Change.
- Hurley is seen listening to Drive Shaft from the $2 bin in Everybody Hates Hugo.
Oasis Influence
The band in the LOST storyline seems to be heavily influenced by the band Oasis.
- Both bands have a lead singer called Liam
- Both bands formed in Manchester, UK
- There is a sibling relationship in the band (Charlie & Liam Pace/Noel & Liam Gallagher)
- Charlie sings backup and is the principal songwriter, like Noel Gallagher.
- Both sibling pairings have been known to feud over who sings certain parts of songs.
- Liam refers to Charlie as "baby brother" much like Noel Gallagher's reference to Liam as "Our Kid"
