Leaps & Bounds: The Ocean Party

Staff Writer

More The Ocean Party The Ocean Party Profile

When did you start making music and why? I started making music with the other members of The Ocean Party in one form or another in high school. Making music with friends is fun; that’s the same reason we have always done it. 

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Lyrical, nostalgic, guitar, pop.

What other events/gigs are you looking forward to at Leaps & Bounds? A bunch of the record label showcases look really good.

What do you think is the best thing about a festival like Leaps & Bounds? Music.

What are your favourite places to hang out in the City of Yarra and why? The Tote for its simplicity.

Why should people come and see your band at Leaps & Bounds? We’ll be playing new material and if that interests you then I guess you might want to come. 

When and where for your Leaps & Bounds gig? 11 Jul at the Spiegeltent with Oh Mercy; 12 Jul at The Gasometer with Living Legends: Dave Graney & Clare Moore.
