The Ocean Blue

with The Hang Ups and Transmission’s DJ Jake Rudh

at Parkway Theater


theparkwaytheater.com



I’m happy to report that the upcoming The Ocean Blue show on September 3, at the Parkway Theater has sold out. We’ve been listening to this indie pop band since the 90s when they covered The Smiths’ “There is a Light that Never Goes Out”.


The Ocean Blue (26 Jul 2019)

We caught the band in July 2019 and wrote, “The Ocean Blue had always wore their influences on their sleeve, play music that sounds very similar to 80s dreampop/shoegazing sound, and even covering The Smiths’ “There is a Light that Never Goes Out” (faithfully, I might add) on their Peace & Light EP. At the end of their 90-min set, they dedicated their cover of Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” to the Transmission audience.”



Speaking of Transmission, DJ Jake Rudh will play music videos between sets.



The Hang Ups to open.
