Opal Sky R.I.P.

About Me

Opal Sky was an Edinburgh based, rock band from 2003-2007.

"There's nothing like a band with a mixture of images. Opal Sky is one such band. Skinny ties, kipper ties, overflowing hair and leather skirts; - this band'll kick you in the stomach to make you pay attention." Is This Music

"Sometimes it's best to let the songs do the talking, because in this case they had a tugging urgency that demands all our attention." The List

"From the opening bars of 'St German' to the closing notes of (new song) 'The Blue Of You' the Nice'n'Sleazy crowd were treated to an amazingly powerfull and bluesy set." LoudHorizonMusic.com

An Opal Sky compilation entitled "Tiny Tales" will soon be available on iTunes, compiling the best OS recordings from the past few years. Stay tuned!
