toss metal funk jazz punk & improv into a blender

About Me

The hybrid musical monster, Strangelove Ocean, is an Auburn-based band playing a unique blend of funk, metal and fusion. With plenty of heavy metal riffing giving way to high energy funk and ominous spacey interludes, Strangelove Ocean attracts a broad base of fans. There technical compositions as well as unique covers and improvisational jams make for an energetic crowd-pleasing show. Schizophrenic guitars intertwine over a hyperactive polyrhythmic section creating dynamic changes and frenzied climaxes. For 3 years they have been building a strong fan base in Auburn and surrounding areas through media exposure in local newspapers and radio. With numerous live shows under their belt Strangelove Ocean has honed their sound into a rollercoaster ride of booty shakin' and head bangin' music that draws large crowds everywhere they go. Strangelove Ocean is booking shows in support of their independent EP, Silent But Deadly, in addition to recording their next much anticipated full-length album, Apocalyptadelic.*UPDATE* As you may know, we lost our original guitarist R.J Lightle recently when he moved cross country to Seattle. We are moving on as a power trio. We hope to phase vocals in soon, and are excited about a new sound and new direction for SLO. We wish R.J all the best in his future endeavors, and thank him for the many good years he gave us.*UPDATE* Our new album, Apocalyptadelic is not a rumor or mirage. It will be coming soon! We are putting much blood sweat and tears into the process, but it is paying off. Recording is nearly finished and we will then move into post production, but rest assured it will be soon, and it will be worth the wait.
