Indie rock, Alt-Rock, Metal, Punk, Garage, Hard Rock, Black Rock, Glam, Psychedelic...The list of subgenres is both never ending and constantly morphing while rock and roll in its orginal definition was something much more basic and primal.
The word rock had a long history within the English language as being a metaphor meaning "to shake up, to disturb or to incite". The word roll was also a popular metaphor which meant having sex as in "roll in the hay" and so on.
Though the variety of influences is infinite, the realm of OmegaBand is within the context of this definition. And while the aim of our message is most definately to shake up the snow globes of minds that surround us, it is in our live performances that we are most able to illustrate these ideals with the unrestrained passion and sensuality that comes straight from the soul.
Originally formed in 2005, OmegaBand currently consists of Alpha Betts on lyrics and microphones, Kirk Waldroff on bass and Bala Harper on drums. Recently we've had the good fortune of adding Kristin Arant on percussion and background vocals and James Reeves on guitar.
Presently OmegaBand are in the process of recording a full-length cd, all the while continuting to keep our live game tight. Check it!
