Ocean Alley is a modern reggae fusion group from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. The band is made up of Baden Donegal (vocals, guitar), Angus Goodwin (lead guitar), Lach Galbraith (keyboard, vocals), Mitch Galbraith (guitar), Nic Blom (bass) and Tom O'Brien (drums).
Last night saw Aussie Indie-rockers Ocean Alley return to the UK, for what was the first night of their European tour, and a warm up to their slot at Boardmasters festival. After forming in 2011, the band has seen a meteoric rise in their homeland, seeing mainstream success.
When this scribe mentioned in passing to his sister that he was going to see Ocean Alley, she replied “all their songs sound the same”. To those familiar with the Northern Beaches six-piece that’s not quite true, but it is one challenge with their live shows.
Ocean Alley performed at a sold-out Spark Arena last night, pacifying and uniting the audience with their distinctly psychedelic alt-rock sound and featuring solid support by surf-rock openers, Hockey Dad.
