April 4th 2008 - News Update
Hello all.

March 26th 2008 - Anniversary shows
A lot of important events have taken place on October 19th.
In 202BC the 17 year Second Punic War came to a decisive end when the Roman army led by Publius Cornelius Scipio kicked the living shit out of Hannibal Barca's Carthaginian forces.
In 1469 Ferdinand the second of Aragon married Isabella of Castile paving the way for the unification of Aragon and Castile into a single country, Spain.
And in 2005 Saddam Hussein went on trial for crimes against humanity. Naughty naughty.
But the annuls of history forget to mention the momentous occasion that occured on October 19th 1998 when five normal blokes met in a derelict building somewhere in Salford and formed the cohesive unit that became known as Oceansize. So in order to celebrate ten years of fucking about with our instruments and trying to make a "living" out of it we will be playing a series of shows at the Roadhouse in Manchester, the venue where we earned our stripes.
Three albums, three shows, three hangovers. stay tuned.
February 15th 2008 - Festival News
We have recently been confirmed for the Hurricane and Southside festivals in Germany and the iLosaarirock festival in Finland. Bling Bling.
February 12th 2008 - Smashing Pumpkins support
Listen up kids, we had nothing better to do this weekend so we thought why not support Smashing Pumpkins at three massive venues throughout the UK. That would be Nottingham Arena, Manchester Arena and the O2 Arena, better known as the Millenium Tit. See the TOUR page for details.
Bring your binoculars!

There is no real evidence to support this but it is scientific FACT, we will be supporting Coheed and Cambria on part of their European tour this April. Check out the Tour page for such trivialities as dates and venues if you must.
February 1st 2008 - Apocalyptica support
We will be supporting Apocalyptica on three dates of their European tour . We will be playing Luxombourg, Paris and London on the 5th, 6th and 7th of March. Come join us.
December 20th 2007 - Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!! part 2 !!!
Our most raucous version of "Walking in The Air" is now finished and is available to download from our official Myspazz page. Yes yes I know I said we were releasing it on Christmas Eve but like an oily monkey it simply wouldn't stay in our hands.
Have a rambunctious Christmas and a nonsensical New Year.

December 18th 2007 - Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Christmas Eve we will be releasing our very first Christmas single as a download. It is a cover of "Walking in The Air" as made famous by Aled Jones as the soundtrack to "The Snowman".

November 19th 2007 - 'Size to support Biffy fucking Clyro
Didn't I say we'd see you soon? well check this, Oceansize will be main support to Biffy Clyro at their sold out Brixton Academy show on Wednesday 21st November. As it's sold out you won't be able to get tickets so there is not much point announcing it on this website but I just wanted to brag about it. Hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa.
November 18th 2007 - Thanks
We would like to say a massive thank you to all the people who came to see us on our recent UK/European tour. We are currently resting our weary bones and rejuvenating our brains (as parts of them where lost in certain Dutch cities). A big shout out to Øyvind, Gordon and Lewis for doing most of the work and to Graham for being an unnaturally cheerful bus driver.
We had a blast and we'll see you all sooooooooooon.
