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.

On a rainy Saturday evening (12 December), stragglers (including yours truly) raced from parked cars or their Uber-style transport to NightQuarter Live to get out of the wet and join their music loving brethren already gathered inside, for a night with Ocean Alley.
