Saw them on Monday night for the first time in about 5 years....all i can say is that they are even better with age. Perfect live performances from Simon and the lads, HATS OFF TO THEM!!
I saw them at the Hexagon Reading on Friday. If you're thinking of going to see them you will not be disappointed they are one of the best live bands you will ever see.
Have seen these guys a few times in various locations and i must say.....best gigs i have been to....simon is amazing, really makes you so appretiative that you came to the gig
I saw them 2 years ago at barrowlands, what a venue for OCS to play....the sound was amazin! Goin to see them again in Edinburgh in 2 weeks, cant wait!
they are mid 40s now, didnt get big till they were early 30s, they are a GREAT! band, calling it a day next year, quitting, but they had NOOOO! marketing, one of their best songs is " so low", listen to the LIVE! version , better than the recorded, enjoy!
lorizh......... if ure new to ocean colour scene check out "the day we caught the train" cnt believe uv only just stumbled on these they make me proud ta be english !!!!! lol
Okay I've NEVER heard of these guys and stumbled on them in error. I LOVE them! I just found out they've been around for like 20 years, have they ever toured the States? I'm sort of mad that I've missed out on a lot of good music for so long =/
i KNOW! it's a shame, they are from Birmingham England, been around for many years, i have always LOVED! them, want to go and see them next year, they are in their mid 40s now, doubt they've done america, cos they're not big HERE!, underrated, look up " so low" great tune
its about when steve and simon where mates years ago and bith going through a hard time they got totally out of it 1 night and bonded like they never did before.
Does anybody know what this song is about? Would I be way off with the suggestion of a childhood friend who is now a drug addict and he's really scared for her?
I think its about being depressed so you take drugs to help it but it makes you worse and youre thinking about friends youve lost because of youre addictions but thats just how I see it on a personal level. I love ocean colour scene for this reason that there songs can be takne into youre own situations
i thought it was LIVE! as well, doesn't sound like he is in a recording studio, i've never heard the original LP version, i thought that was IT!, any electric in it?
they play dublin about 3/4 times a year and they rock the city,this must be where they have there biggest fan base,,nothing better than a few splifs and a bit of ocs!!!!!!!
the thing with ocs, is there fucking brilliant, & the public dont realise this, but if a song is played on radio or sumat there like oh yeah its ace. every song theyve done has been beta than 100% in my book. simon fowler, u kick liam gallagher out of the running for best singer songwriter. shame shite gets to number 1 & ocs aint, stupid idiots buy the wrong music
i totally agree!, they are soooo underrated, i think they are better than oasis, simon fowler writes imaginative, intelligent lyrics that have depth, there is one fundamental differnce between fowler and liam gallagher, fowler has a BRAIN!, in his head, where liam can't even spell his own name, he's a simpleton!
I`ve always said the same mate. Ocs were unfortunate that the likes of oasis and blur were at there peak when they really should`ve been massive. At least they have the likes us who will always totally appreciate how good they really were. Seen them twice live, Stirling Castle and Glasgow SECC. Awesome!!
i have just read every comment! not one single negative word!!!! thanks for all being true OCS fans.... one of the best band ever that the UK has produced...
i think ocean colour scene at their best, are better than oasis, they've made some great! tunes, but i think what has let them down over the years, is that they have also written alot of bad stuff, album fillers
He comes a cross, as very intelligent, but down to earth with it, seems approachable, like regular guy, not up himself, is that how he came across to you?
Seen them at oxegen ireland twice...awesome...!!!! they played the year paul weller was there and i'll never forget it.....ocs on stage ....paul weller comes out mid set...you know what happens next!!!!
have never seen OCS live but did buy tickets for them live in concert in Dundee about 10 years ago but had to sell them due to personnal reasons but so regret not going but will be there to see them live nxt time in Glasgow.
they wer playn in mandela hall. was amazin. wer standn in the bar n manedela n walks simon ! got our fotos takn wit him. best gig eva. wee smal venue lyk loved it !
Love this so much, have been listening to these guys for years and have never seen them live, am going to for the first time next week and can't wait!!!!!
In 1932 a little girl named Suzie was walking down the hall of an old hotel. A crazy man killed her by stabbing her in the back of the head and throwing her body in an elevator. while he closed the elevator doors he said the words BAKUDA BAKUDA. Now that you have read this message her dead body will appear in your bedroom every night you go to bed unless you do this: retype this message on 3 other videos
You obviously weren't at Stirling Castle when they played there about 10 years ago, been to many concerts since and none even comes close to that night...
Also if u can get a hold of 'live on the riverboat' as it features that song and also a piano version of 'the circle' which is friggin amazing. Check out their anthology album aswell coz they have some good old rare tunes. I have nearly every album they have released so any questions fire away.
The reason ppl slate the scene is because too many of these prats listen to journalists, n when when the media say a band aint cool these shit kickers listen, but 4 those who know their shit we know OCS are a great great band with great songs, much more so than any current bands in todays munic scene...........
tis band is realy better than oasis, the verve, and the rest together
