About
Ocean Alley In Concert
A series of coastal towns and suburbs north of Sydney, Australia, the Northern Beaches offer some of the world's best surfing spots and most majestic beaches. It's not hard to hear the impact that these surroundings made on the music of Ocean Alley, six young friends who somehow managed to get away from the sand and sea long enough to discover a special musical kinship while jamming in a backyard shed. Their shared love of Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Bob Marley led to the development of an unmistakably sun-kissed sound that marries the feel and scope of psychedelic rock to the pulse and warmth of reggae. Their devotion to Dire Straits means recent singles like "Bones" and "Confidence" have a sturdy foundation in classic '80s songcraft, too.
The new songs also make good on the promise displayed on Ocean Alley's first recordings. Reversing the title of Donovan's 1967 classic, the 2013 debut EP ‘Yellow Mellow' was an enthralling sign of things to come from the band, which consists of singer-guitarist Baden Donegal, guitarists Angus Goodwin and Mitch Galbraith, keyboardist Lach Galbraith, bassist Nic Blom, and drummer Tom O'Brien. Their inaugural set of international shows and their 2015 debut album ‘Lost Tropics' marked further leaps in maturity as their retro-leaning sound expanded to include elements of more contemporary peers like the War on Drugs and King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard. All the while, their relentless touring and mind-expanding live shows suggested that they were hardly as lazy as their most languid songs might suggest.
As the Top 10 success on the Australian charts for 2018's ‘Chiaroscuro' prompted sellouts, Ocean Alley's conquest of their home turf beyond their beloved Northern Beaches was complete. North American audiences seem destined to follow suit, especially now that the band have crossed many great expanses of land and water to play a series of supporting dates for their friend Tash Sultana.

by Jame on 7/2/24House of Blues Chicago - ChicagoVenue: House of Blues I've been to the House of Blues a few times before and have never had any issues. Drinks were a bit pricey but that's expected in downtown Chicago. Ocean Alley though, absolutely breathtaking. This was my second time seeing them and they brought down the house at both shows. The whole crowd was singing along, the singer was brilliant, lead guitar was shredding during solos. Encore was magnificent! I cannot recommend this band enough. I paid approximately $40.00 per ticket but I would have been happy to pay double that, Ocean Alley is absolutely worth it and should be performing in sold out stadiums.
Rating: 5 out of 5 well worth the money
by how2eatfriedwormz on 7/2/24History - TorontoRidiculous how these tickets were only $53 each... the concert was absolutely phenomenal. The venue was small but effective, the crowd was fantastic, and the band sounded amazing live! One of my first concerts in a long time! I would pay to see Ocean Alley again.

by Wendy DS on 6/25/24Irving Plaza Powered By Verizon 5G - New YorkOcean Alley puts on a great show. We saw them at Irving Plaza which is a great venue if you don’t mind standing for the show if you don’t upgrade to the balcony level tables/seats. The band was great, their opening act also very good (more rock oriented). Highly recommend if you are into their vibe! Lots of really bright lights and fog machine cranked.nice videos on the side and pretty decent (though pricey-it’s NYC) bar. We went with our 20 year old and managed not to embarrass her.
