Band of Frequencies

Band of Frequencies emerged from the fertile Byron Bay and Brisbane creative communities in 2005 and have been generating a ground swell of support and interest from around the globe ever since.

They draw their influences from a wide spectrum of styles and sounds; roots laden, heavy grooving rock and soul merges into ambient acoustics and electronic influences that then meets blues at the crossroads before moving beyond into to dub styles, psychedelia and live drum'n'bass.

Independently free of any limitations, Band of Frequencies have set their intentions on creating the best sonic tools they can to allow complete expressive freedom to exist within their music.

The lads have all played together for years in the internationally renowned world beat group Afro Dizzi Act, playing major festivals such as the East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Splendour in the Grass, the Big Day Out, Livid, the Kathmandu Jazz festival as well as having toured the far reaches of North East India. As artists, their passion for exploring new sounds, styles and music from many cultures constantly pushes the limits of their musical expression.

Oka

The Oka sound is deeply rooted in the laid back coastal style of our home. I guess it makes people feel how they do when they visit here..chillaxed. Here is a collection of words that we put to together because we always get asked to describe our music: "a fusion of eclectic world sounds, roots, dub, reggae, jazz and organic electronica"... yep it's a lot of words. My favourite description though comes from a new Oka fan in Canada: "i have to say, your music is like nothing i've ever heard. love it! techno-folk-aboriginal-jungle-hippie-rock? damn."
