Ocean Alley premiere ‘Yellow Mellow’ 10 year anniversary live session

Australian rockers Ocean Alley today mark the 10-year anniversary of their beloved debut EP Yellow Mellow, with a live re-recording of its six tracks now premiering via YouTube.

A collection of hazy and funky sounds, Yellow Mellow is stamped with early hallmarks of Ocean Alley’s now distinct sound – infused with psychedelic instrumentation, dub and plenty of groove, not to mention the essence of DIY and the garage they rehearsed in. The live video session sees the six-piece finesse the EP with their matured style, not so much reinventing as reinvigorating the record that set them onto their otherworldly trajectory.

For those who weren’t lucky enough to catch Ocean Alley gigging in pubs and bars on the Northern Beaches in those early days, Yellow Mellow was a gateway. Its title track was a firm fan favourite with its playful lyrics and sound, and over the last decade has become a standout for listeners and particularly live audiences – amassing over 70 million streams to date. A vinyl re-press of the EP saw the record reach #2 on the ARIA Top 20 Australian Albums and #41 on the ARIA Top 50 Albums overall in February this year.

Backing up a momentous 2023, Ocean Alley kicked off the first quarter of this year with vigor – hitting the road for a seven-date Australian Coast Tour that wrapped up last weekend after selling 35,000 tickets across Hobart, Torquay, Wollongong, Adelaide, Bribie Island and Margaret River. It follows their hugely successful run of nine shows last year, selling out huge local venues such as Melbourne’s John Cain Arena, Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, Brisbane’s Riverstage and Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium, adding extra dates nationally plus a show at Auckland’s Spark Arena for a total of 47,000 tickets sold.

Most of this year will be spent touring internationally, firstly heading to North America with The Grogans for 17 shows in June. The band have already sold out dates in New York, LA, San Francisco and Philadelphia, plus surpassed ticket sales of 20,000. In August, they make their way to the UK and Europe for 15 shows supported by Hockey Dad; Roundhouse in London has sold out with an extra date added, and O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester was upgraded and sold out.

These huge international showruns follow the revival of Ocean Alley’s 6x Platinum single ‘Confidence’, which re-entered the ARIA Top 50 Singles Chart in December last year after going viral on TikTok globally, and eventually climbed to #19. Internationally, the track cracked the US Billboard Hot Alternative Songs (#13), Hot Rock Songs (#21), Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (#26), UK’s Independent Singles Chart (#6), New Zealand’s Top 40 Singles Chart (#3) and Ireland’s Single Chart (#29).

Over the last 12 months, Ocean Alley proved themselves to be one of Australia’s most exciting musical exports, taking the world by storm with their dynamic live performances, infectious melodies and faultless musicianship. Their catalogue is approaching a billion streams, with nine singles accredited in Australia and New Zealand with sales certified Gold or higher. Continuing to grow their devoted following both at home and abroad, the six-piece are solidifying their place as one of Australia’s most beloved and influential bands, and are poised to make an indelible mark on the global music scene for years to come.

written by the partae

Sydney’s groovy, psych-rock six-piece Ocean Alley are thrilled to announce supports on their upcoming Australian tour, which recently expanded with a second and final show at The Forum in Melbourne on May 18. Kicking off later this month, the tour will feature New Zealand’s Tunes Of I nationally, plus a slew of stellar local acts added across each city.

Final tickets to remaining shows are on sale now via oceanalley.com.au.

Joining the lineup as national tour supports are Wellington sextet Tunes Of I, one of New Zealand’s most exciting up and coming roots acts, with a genre-defying sound that blends dub, rock, reggae, funk, soul and psychedelia. Funky, coastal chill-hop outfit Drop Legs and the warm sounds of psychedelic pop-rockers Sunrose will take over the stage for a night each in Brisbane, with spaced-out garage rockersThe Jim Mitchells opening the first Sydney performance and both shows in Melbourne. Groovy blues quartet Eagle Eye Jones will perform at the second Sydney show, and rounding out the bill in Fremantle are funk-infused indie-rockers Great Gable and indie-pop singer-songwriter Elli Schoen.

Hailing from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, six-piece Ocean Alley – Baden Donegal (vocals), Angus Goodwin (guitar), Nic Blom (bass), Lach Galbraith (keys/vocals), Mitch Galbraith (guitar) and Tom O’Brien (drums) – have captivated audiences around the country with their infectious melody lines and memorable blend of psychedelic-surf-rock, amassing 20+ million streams online and over 535,000+ monthly Spotify listeners. Their second LP Chiaroscuro, “12 tracks dripping in salty psychedelic surf-rock gold” (Pilerats) has received widespread acclaim, and with a stellar ARIA debut at #15 it’s clear“Ocean Alley’s biggest days are still ahead of them” (Life Without Andy).
