Twenty-one years after their breakthrough album, Moseley Shoals, Ocean Colour Scene were set to play on Auckland’s Powerstation stage to a veritable ocean of expatriates. I felt I needed a passport to get into this gig, and having never been to England, after tonight I don’t think I need to: England came to me.
Ocean Colour Scene are due to perform tonight at Auckland’s Powerstation. The 13th Floor’s Tim Gruar caught the band in Wellington last night and turns in this report to give Aucklanders an idea of what they are in for. The 13th Floor will post a review and photo gallery of tonight’s show tomorrow morning.
1990’s Brit pop mods Ocean Colour Scene will be performing their classic album Mosely Shoals Downunder this month. Last year marked the 20th Anniversary of the album. As part of that commemoration, the band made the brave decision to bring the album, and the 30 year repertoire all to the Antipodes.
Ocean Colour Scene will play two shows in New Zealand this coming November. The indie rockers, who were at the forefront of the 90s Britpop wave with chart-topping albums like the iconic MOSELEY SHOALS, will play Wellington’s Opera House on November 19 and Auckland’s Powerstation on November 20 – following their five-date Australian tour.
