One of my favourite up and coming Vancouver pop bands, Hey Ocean!, has just released their new video for A Song About California, a quirky, upbeat tune from their first album. Cheeky, fun, and showcasing lead singer Ashleigh Ball’s cuteness to the max, it’s a fun romp through the world of love and laundromats, spread across the pages of their very own magazine.

Hey Ocean – A Song About California

Hey Ocean! has come a long way in the last year and a half since I interviewed them at the Media Club, playing with well known bands like Xavier Rudd and Bedouin Soundclash and are on their way to South by Southwest this month. Fortunately for us, they’ll also be in town for the upcoming Juno Awards at the end of March and will be playing a gig at the Media Club with Current Swell and Zaki Ibrahim, a show not to be missed!

Their 2008 album, It’s Easier To Be Somebody Else, is available on iTunes.

There’s more Hey Ocean! goodness over at their myspace page.
