Ozma - Live Indie Rock Music from Chain Reaction
The contemporary acts that come up most in comparison to Ozma are Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Nirvana, etc. though if you ask the band members about influences, you’ll probably hear such infamous names as Chick Corea, Elvis Costello, Boston, Depeche Mode, and the Beatles. Brummel, Slegr, and Galvez (the three songwriters) work towards the same artistic goals set by their predecessors: writing dynamic, lyrically interesting, and melodically memorable songs. They have been fortunate enough to be able to learn their trades firsthand from the best - previous recordings have been produced by Jason Cropper (formerly of Weezer) and Rod Cervera (The Rentals) - but they have never let go of their original and innovative approach to harmony and song arrangement, apparent both in epics like “Battlescars” and revved-up speed jams like “In Search of 1988″ and “Rocks.”
Ozma has gained a reputation as a band that must be heard in a live setting if their unique brand of orderly chaos is to be thoroughly understood. As a result of this reputation, Ozma has been given slots on high profile bills, including CD release parties for Nerf Herder and Nada Surf. After several California shows as the sole opening act for Weezer, performing for huge summer audiences including a sellout hometown crowd at Hollywood’s Whisky A Go-Go, Weezer’s front man Rivers Cuomo confessed in an interview with a Texas newspaper: [Ozma is] my favorite new band. I certainly hope to tour with them.”
Ozma is currently out on tour with The Rentals.
