Brought together by a shared passion for the unhinged, roof-shaking exuberance and sultry-cool of early Rock’n’Roll, Soul, & Rockabilly, The Oceanaires bring vintage-vibe with a modern kick. Vocalist, Kasey Lansdale, and Dresden Dolls drummer, Brian Viglione, had been performing their regular acoustic residency, when it was quickly acknowledged that the songs which really got the crowd off their bar-stools and shakin’ their tails on the dance floor, were the classics of Elvis Presley, Wanda Jackson, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash. If that’s what’s making people move, and the songs are that fun to play, put a band together and go full-throttle. The group’s chemistry quickly coalesced with the talents of psycho-billy bassist, Gordon Bash, keyboard/marimbist, Alex Burke, and Nashville session guitarist, Luc Nyhus.
