The Ocean Blue, formed in Hershey, Pennsylvania in 1986, is a band that
combines synthesizer-based New Wave hooks with "bluesy" saxophone solos and
high tinsel guitars to produce a truly unique sound. Its core-original
members included David Schelzel on lead vocals/guitar, Steve Lau on
keyboards/saxophone, Bobby Mittan on bass guitar and Rob Minnig on drums
and vocals.
Its current line-up includes David Schelzel on lead vocals/guitar, Oed
Ronne on keyboards/guitar/vocals, Bobby Mittan on bass guitar and Peter
Anderson on drums.
The band's sound may be best described as that of Modern Rock, a genre
that filled the musical gap between New Wave and grunge. The band also
proudly wore their New Wave influences such as The Cure, The Chameleons,
Echo & The Bunnymen, U2, Daniel Amos, R.E.M., New Order, and The Smiths, on
their sleeves. The Ocean Blue's earliest shows always consisted of a
healthy dose of covers by these aforementioned bands.
