Open Ocean download + monkeytown show

TWO AWESOME THINGS FOR OPEN OCEAN!!!

Download our song 'Sink or Swim' from Urban Outfitters' Music Monday blog post!! We were featured today along with 4 other bands!! Here is the embedded link:

Also, we're playing Monkeytown this Thursday the 21st. Come out and see us! It's one of the last times Monkeytown will be open as they're closing on the 24th. We'll be playing song for song alongside Bull Thieves and with Sharach Lindo doing the visuals. It'll be sure to be a good show!

I highly recommend making reservations in advance as this show will probably sell out. It only holds 50 people. You can make reservations by going to this link: RESERVATIONS

open ocean first performance

so my band, Open Ocean, had its first performance last Saturday, Oct 17th at Papabubble. we played in the basement at their 2nd anniversary/cash honey benefit. we played to around 60-70 people. it was awesome. but so nerve-wracking!!! overall super happy with it tho. here are a few videos for you to check out.

oh and we're on myspace and facebook now. cept we have nothing on it yet. but in case you want to follow us...here are the links:

baby's first photo shoot

so i've been told that the steps for starting a band is:

#1: make a tshirt

#2: sell a song to a commercial

#3: play your first show

well we didn't follow those rules however we did do our first photo shoot!!! and we haven't played a show. kinda weird. but when our good friend sara dunn asked us to do a shoot for the japanese magazine FA we were down. here are a few shots of us getting prepped and snapped.

also, our first show is Nov. 6th at Bruar Falls with Holy Hail. more info to come. eeks! gettin real folks!!! oh and the band name is OPEN OCEAN. watch for a myspace soon.
