"[Omega Love's] use of synths and electronics, and their dancefloor-friendly Disco-isms set them apart from many of the similar bands you might find playing around college campuses across the country. Their style fell right in line with other bands that play live electronic Dance Music with traditional instruments rather than computers and sequencers who I really dig"

"Musebird is quite dynamic, it takes the listener on a trip. I applaud the musicianship and effort to reach outside the box...additionally Jocelyn draws you in with her caressing vocals, the combination makes for a fresh sound."
~Taxi A&R

"Weird but tasty news: Spacey-soul outfit Omega Love is gearing up for a pretty intimidating task — participating in the debut of a high-end virtual concert broadcast system … while opening for legendary jazzman Wynton Marsalis...The group will play opening and closing slots for Marsalis while being filmed at WQED’s studios."
~Aaron Jentzen, Music Editor - Pittsburgh City Paper
Click here to check out the full blurb!

"In Geisler, Omega Love found a sonic grounding: Her warm vocal style has more of an old-timey, simple jazz and blues sound than the usual modern-day diva histrionics. That proves an effective counterpoint to the bands propulsive, synth-washed sounds. Omega Love walks a tightrope musically, between accessibility and eccentricity...If anything, the groups eccentricities give it a subtle edginess, both musically and lyrically."
"The Pittsburgh-based jazz- and dance-inflected quintet was a featured act at the Sprout Funds Hothouse party, one of Pittsburghs higher-profile gigs. Shortly before Hothouse, the group played Mattress Factorys Garden Party. And the Cultural Districts Gallery Crawl. And fairly regular gigs at Club Café, Rex Theatre, Z-Lounge, occasionally the Shadow Lounge. Not a bad run for an act thats been playing out for just a year."

"I heard them play at Pittsburgh's Thunderbird Cafe last week, and they smoked. Jazzy chord changes, beautiful lyrics, lock-tight arrangements, blistering solos, and beats that you can't help but groove to, that's Omega Love. Omega Love plays regularly throughout the Pittsburgh area, and to rave reviews. They're gradually expanding their gigging radius to other eastern cities and have just released their first CD...you must see this band live."
~Jim Heid, Contributing Editor - Macworld Magazine

"...their music is quite original, especially for Pittsburgh. Its been quite a while since weve seen a really good dance band. A sentiment, it seems, that is shared by quite a few people around town. Omega Love is adding a much-needed element to the Pittsburgh music scene."
Hallie Pritts, Music Writer - The Front Magazine

Pittsburgh Calling: Local bands making news
"Prime gigs: Omega Love has been a regular presence at clubs like the Shadow Lounge and Club Cafe. They've been landing some of the sweet gala-type gigs. Last week, they played the Hothouse party, and before that, the Mattress Factory."
Scott Mervis, Weekend Mag Editor - The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

I can't believe you're playing All Good. And I can't believe that I might not be able to make it b/c I'm on a trip for work that week. I going to see if I can work it in regardless.

“The brainy, bold music-and-performance ensemble is once again daring to go where no performance art has gone before”
- Washington Post

“a roman candle, one that happens to come with a rhythm section.”
- City Paper

“The Biggest, Baddest, Boldest Squonk Opera Yet”
- Pop City

“an American, terrestrial and perhaps galaxy original...a unique mix of geek and polish, eccentric design and mocking wit”
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“hybridizer of art rock and performance, and expert at blending surrealism, high camp and careful craft for the masses”
- City Paper

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Astro-rama has just been chosen as one of three finalists for the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council's Work of Art Awards
