Celebrate Good Times

Tonight, in place of a normal practice, we are going out to eat at Khan's Mongolian buffet, to celebrate our newest accomplishment, choosing a new band name. Broken was taken by a band from California, City Sorrowful was too clunky, and we went through a lot of names before settling on Ocean Over. The whole process took roughly six months. Some of the rejected names were:

OceanOver is cool, but for some reason, Angry Chair really stood out to me. There's some meaning in that shit, yo.

Aw man, I knew someday my name would be used by someone else and thus surrender any chance of registering the domain name.... :(

I do feel a little comforted knowing that you would have typed "OceanOver" into Google a couple of years ago and you would have seen some of my posts in various forums!

But all the best! Perhaps one day we will hear your music over here in Australia and I can throw my shoulders back with pride!

Good luck,

OceanOver.
