9. – Hey Ocean! at Rifflandia 2012- Make a New Dance Up – September 16, 2012
There was just something I can’t put my finger on that made Hey Ocean!’s entire set really special for me. Everything just seemed to be about perfect. The amount of sun on the band was just right, there was a light breeze that made Ashleigh Ball’s dress flow… well… like an ocean wave. The sound recording I captured pretty much sounds like I plugged into a board and the vantage point could not have been better.
There were actually a couple of songs from the band from their Rifflandia 2012 set that I seriously debated over. One of which was ‘New Love’ (click here to see that video). The opening drum beat by Johnny Andrews just sounds incredible… but the moment I picked pretty much had to be the other Andrews on stage later on in the set. That would be Johnny’s nephew Owen when he spontaneously started break dancing on stage during ‘Make a New Dance Up’. How often do you see a cute kid show off his dance moves on a concert stage and have a couple thousand people go nuts? It was a major highlight of Rifflandia this year.
