Big things are bristling on the horizon for Ripple Music's,
Ozone Mama! After releasing their
critically acclaimed, best-selling album, "Cosmos Calling" with the
California-based Record Label, Ozone Mama have continued to go from strength to
strength.
Since the band's record release show in February David
Szeleczki has taken over vocal duties from the band's former singer Marton
Szekelys, and former session-keyboard
player Laszlo Lukacs has stayed on to be full-time member of the band, adding
his layers of organ to the bands earthy mix.
Now a five-piece, the
band is about to break their recent silence. After debuting their new vocalist at three
gloriously successful festival appearances in Hungary in July, under the
direction of main songwriter-guitarist Andras Gabor Ozone Mama will launch a
full-scale tour through nine European countries including Slovenia, Romania,
Sweden (Ripple Fest Sweden 2018), Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy
and Hungary.
On changing vocalists, Andras says, "It’s been a long
journey with our singer Marci. Lots of gigs, miles, and laughing. But sometimes
roads diverge and people travel in different directions. Ozone Mama wishes
Marci the best of luck. He will always be our brother. But for now, we looks forward to an exciting
new era in the band's history. With our
new singer, David, and Laszlo on keyboards, new blood has been injected into
the veins of the band and we're excited to see where this leads us musically,
and personally. Also, we're thrilled to
announce that we're playing in nine countries this autumn, including RippleFest
Sweden II. It's such an honor to have
been invited to play. We're ready to spread the word loud and proud that not
only does Hungary
have rock bands with potential, but our label Ripple is one of the best
underground stoner rock labels in the industry today. It’s like a big family,
and we cannot wait to meet some “family members” in Stockholm soon!"
Cranking out a bristling brand of high-octane rock n’ roll,
Ozone Mama hails from Budapest with a vintage sound reminiscent of the 60’s or
70’s yet swaddled in a modern vibe. With their debut album ('The Starship Has
Landed') they won a Phonogram Prize in 2012 . Their second release, 'Freedom
EP', released in 2013 received major play across European, American and
Canadian radio stations and their song 'I Really Care' was featured in Classic Rock Magazine . While their 2016 release "Sonic
Glory" was awarded the Fonogram Prize in the category of "Hard Rock
or Metal Album of the Year"
Comprised of David Szeleczki (vocals), András Gábor (guitar,
vocals), Gergely Dobos (bass guitar) and Gulyás Máté (drums), and Laszlo Lukacs
(keyboards), Ozone Mama has shared the stage with International headliners such
as Monster Magnet, Airbourne, the Darkness and Kamchatka.
After joining forces with industry leading heavy rock label,
Ripple Music, the new album "Cosmos Calling" hit the streets in
January of 2018 and can be heard on the Ripple Music bandcamp, spotify, apple music, amazon or found in vinyl or CD at
the Ripple Music webstore or any number of record stores.
As the band prepares to lay a swathe across Europe, look for the rest of the world to start talking
