EXCLUSIVE: Oceano Tour Blog #1
US heavy-hitters Oceano kicked off their Australian tour last week. Having played Adelaide and Melbourne over the weekend, the band is documenting their first time down under through a series of official tour blogs. Killyourstereo.com hosts the first entry, which can be read below: Needless to say we were all very excited and anxious to get to Australia as soon as possible. With well over 30 hours of transit from Chicago to Hong Kong and following a three-hour lay over before the flight to Adelaide was extremely taxing to say the very least.

From the second we arrived in Australia, our tour manager Ian, who with out a doubt set the pace for a very comfortable and memorable first day in country, greeted us as soon as we walked out of our gate. Before the first show with Aversions Crown and Feed Her to the Sharks at Black Market, who by the way are very talented musicians and more importantly some of the nicest group of guys you would ever want to meet, we were able to briefly explore Hindley Street in down town Adelaide. Busy streets full of taxis, busses and fast moving people was very familiar to most of us being from the Chicago and Las Vegas area.
The first show was amazing. The hospitality and appreciation that we were shown for playing was very humbling and made a very long two day journey all that much more rewarding. After an insane first show we had been prepared for a metal show to turn into a dance club that would go on until the late hours of the evening, amazing to say the least!
The second day after waking up nursing our hang over’s, we drove 10 hours to Melbourne trying to sleep and take in as much of our surroundings as possible. Playing to around 500 savage fans was amazing to us seeing how this was our very first time playing here. Stage dives and high five’s all night and again this club [BANG] went from a violently mad banger to a full on multi roomed club where the guitarist from NOFX [Eric Melvin] was spinning Karaoke to a handful of unaware group of people. So far being here has been beyond our expectations and we hope it continues!
Cheers!
