Ozma

Southern California’s Ozma produces head-bopping tempos and melodies with delicious pop-rock songs such as “No One Needs to Know” and they have a set of impressive guitar walks, especially on the track “Barriers.” After playing shows with Rooney, Weezer, Nada Surf, Rilo Kiley, the Get Up Kids and other similar artists, Ozma is stepping out on their own, traveling to the east coast and Buffalo’s Icon for a show on Friday (June 29). The band consists of a group of guys and a girl who all share vocals and create an amalgamation of lyrics. River Cuomos, lead singer of Weezer, has been a major supporter of Ozma’s endeavors and pulled them onto tours two years in a row. With a new CD, Pasadena (Coptic records), Ozma is out to claim musical glory.
