Ocean Alley Australian Tour

A huge staple in the band’s set-list and an unforgettable live moment for all who have experienced it, Happy Sad is a bittersweet epic that contrasts rich, rolling guitars, woozy-psychedelia and an intoxicating melody line against the brooding lyrics of vocalist Baden Donegal, showcasing the depth and growth of the band’s songwriting over the last two years. Captured with 4 cameras during Ocean Alley’s recent tours of Australia and North America, the video was borne out of 8 rolls of film and 10 hours of footage by videographer Tyler Bell of local collective The Sauce. Compacted into 6 minutes, viewers experience the band’s journey, sharing their sense of humour during behind-the-scenes moments and riding the highs reliving career-defining performances.
Off the back of a 30-date North American tour and having sold over 13,000 tickets across seven sold out Australian shows in April & May, Ocean Alley will continue taking audiences by storm when they take their acclaimed album Chiaroscuro to regional Australia for eight shows.
Kicking off with a performance at the sold out Yours & Owls festival in Wollongong on 29th September, the band will stop into Terrigal, Canberra, Gold Coast and Adelaide, plus a sold out hometown show at Roundhouse in Sydney on 12 October, with another on the 17th October.
