ABOUT

Working original band seeking bass player, and possibly additional guitarist for upcoming shows, and beyond. Many written songs ready for you to jump into with baselines and second guitar parts recorded, But looking to the future for your input and creativity in a long lasting musical relationship. Very dynamic band with peaks and valleys through every song. Everything from chill jazzy undertones, to ripping hard rock and metal riffs, as well as syncopated progressive stylings and melodies. Not afraid to Push the boundaries of genre , As well as have unique time signature changes and transitions between parts, and interesting key changes for variations in mood on most songs. Oceans of Origin is progressive riff rock--dark smart guitar melodies with intelligent vocals, gritty bass lines, psychedelic guitar leads, and whirlwind drumbeats. First album "To the Sea" songs are uploaded here, and second album "Rock is Dead" is set to be mastered, But unmastered versions are uploaded here as well.

We are currently doing acoustic shows but looking for a bassist for fully electrified shows around Sacramento and more. We did have a fantastic bass player, but he had to bow out for family reasons. More electric band situation's and performing bigger shows is our primary goal. We have many connections in the Sacramento and surrounding areas, so just waiting on getting the right members together to start booking bigger shows ASAP! Also looking for a second guitarist to trade off rhythm and lead. Think Troy Van Leeuwen and Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age. Also think Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew from King crimson "just as examples. Contact J Rock to set up an audition. 5309991111
Normal criteria apply for new members. Be willing to chip in monthly for practice space in Sacramento at Sacramento rehearsal Studios. Have professional reliable gear, as well as transportation. Have a job at normal income, but still be available to perform shows during the evenings, as well as practice once a week. It would be optimal if you were in the 30 to 50 year old range, simply because of experience and knowledge of similar musical eras and genres that we have for influences. That being said, exceptions can be made for exceptional people. Do not care about gender, just as long as you are proficient in your instrument, and a quick learner. Backing vocals are a plus, but not necessary.
