Q&A: The Ocean Party

Define your genre in five words or less:

Guitar pop.

 

When’s the gig and with who?

The launch for our new album Social Clubs is at the Grace Darling this Saturday December 1. We’ll be joined by three excellent bands: New Estate, Cat Cat and Great Outdoors.

Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?

The new album Social Clubs and our first, The Sun Rolled Off The Hills, are available on vinyl and CD at our shows, independent record stores and online via Bandcamp. The EP In A Knot is also available for free download online.

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?

The band all live together so we’re all inspired and influenced by each other and our close friends. The local music scene in general is definitely the main source of inspiration, the abundance of great bands who play in Melbourne every week.

Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?

Drinking longies on the cheap in the alley nearest the venue.

When are you doing your thing next?

In the next few months we will be working on new recordings and hopefully have a brand new album coming out by mid next year.

Social Clubs is out via Sound Of Melbourne Records.
