The Ocean Blue, formed in Hershey, Pennsylvania in 1986, is a band that combines synthesizer-based New Wave hooks with "bluesy" saxophone solos and high tinsel guitars to produce a truly unique sound. Its core-original members included David Schelzel on lead vocals/guitar, Steve Lau on keyboards/saxophone, Bobby Mittan on bass guitar and Rob Minnig on drums and vocals.
Its current line-up includes David Schelzel on lead vocals/guitar, Oed Ronne on keyboards/guitar/vocals, Bobby Mittan on bass guitar and Peter Anderson (musician) on drums.
The band's sound may be best described as that of 'Modern Rock', a genre that filled the musical gap between new wave and grunge. The band also proudly wore their New Wave influences such as The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, U2, REM, New Order and The Smiths, on their sleeves. The Ocean Blue's earliest shows always consisted of a healthy dose of covers by these aforementioned bands. To this day, Billy Idol and New Order covers still punctuate concert encores.
