Ocean By Ocean members are Ron Jon, Martin Black, Greg Rose and Beep Jeffries, all members were involved in other bands including "Turn Around" and "His Majesties".The music reflects the vast interests that the various members have ranging from your typical basic rock & roll to the more interesting funk & jazz, as well as an unusual choice of Bing Crosby.Their music is as varied ranging from the untimely "Read My Mind" to the slower "Indigo Eyes".
Ocean By Ocean released three singles for Powderworks Records between '85/'86 "Indigo Eyes", "No Mans Gun" and "Dancing On The Tiles". To further their performance Ocean By Ocean started playing a few one off gigs at local high schools, "the kids had a healthy appetite for the music they were completely opposite to the pub audiences who were very critical of the bands they'd seen" said Jon's in an interview. The band approached the live music scene with great enthusiasm that made some of the other touring bands of the time look like armatures . Their live set contained all original songs except three one of which was their version of David Bowie's Golden Years which was certain to get the crowds up dancing. Thanks again to Henry DeRooy for the art work.Flac
