Got some photos. Still unsure and don’t know why the word mirage is used.

A mirage is an optical illusion, very commonly seen in the desert, and often portrayed as a wonderful water oasis when a person is dehydrated and lost. Of course, the band Oasis isn't standing in the desert either, so it must be a mirage too.

In the desert being starved and dehydrated, it's not uncommon to hallucinate things like water and trees. They are called "Mirages"

Your explanation was helpful. I still don’t know how googling then was clue.

We thought you didn't know the band members, not the definition of mirage and oasis.
