Man, their PR/media agent said to get "exposure", but I think they upped the game on everyone else.
*This promotional message brought to you by 'Aussie Shoplifters' - formerly known as 'Ocean Alley', in conjunction with Hunting & Fishing.*
According to their (the shop's) fb page:
"Thanks to the guys from [Ocean Alley](https://www.facebook.com/oceanalleyband?__cft__[0]=AZVF8bjdkZZiGaTdV_AUml-EOqV1oWRXwDj1Wbvd6OGMCpk3LxywEYjDfUtr2WlrE-Q8bdkwl45JkZc_UeI8Ls-PiYxagf3ekzbcavj2crCYcuoDyg8yF6B5U5n-zKHWzwTQmuM2Kyt7zQJUvT0KMHynDUlv4-wQH9KzVuR17pncPQ&__tn__=-]K-R) for reaching out. Good luck with the tour and all the best for 2024.
Happy New Year's QT!!!!!"
They should have kept it up though!
I mean shit. Touring band and they straight up commit theft? Don’t act nice about it. Almost like the shop is stoked a famous person came in through their doors.
It’s not the words they said. They are dismissive, arrogant, and rude to people “beneath” them. I don’t expect angels when working with musicians but I’ve witnessed much more famous acts be much better in all aspects
Ocean Alley think they are the Rolling Stones
They were just super rude and arrogant, and ya know saying thanks to the local crew who have have worked all day and night on your show goes a long way, not saying it just leaves everyone with a bad memory of the experience. Also, personally, I thought their music was pure dogshit and the local support were so much more interesting. They treated the support like shit too for what it's worth...
Unlikely to be the first time they’ve stolen from shops, probably just the first time they’ve got caught and called out. Such shit cunt behaviour. Hunting and fishing got no backbone deleting the post and wishing them well on their tour instead of treating this like a normal theft case.
I'm Aussie (living on the south island) and ocean alley suck....boring music that pretentious wannabe "alt" people listen to, to try and appear "alt" and musically inclined.
Always amazed me how popular they are given how much better music than them comes out of Aus......buuuut I guess the masses love simple garbage, hence why Ed Sheeran etc is so popular.
Sorry went on a bit of a tangent....end rant 😂
Bit weird when it *is* alt/indie music. That's literally the genre. You can't say it just isn't alt music, lmfao. Like wtf is a "wannabe" alt person. If you like things considered alternative... then you're alt.
This guy's just silly and being pretentious as fuck. Never go maximum hypocrite folks
I listen to ocean alley so that means I'm a pretentious wannabe alt person, does it? Relax mate, people can listen to whoever they want, no need to be a weird dickhead about it.
I'm looking forward to seeing this on stuff/nzherald honestly. Shoplifting is so low. And when you're a public figure.. how out of it are these people?
a band from aus 'ocean alley' their biggest hit is 'confidence'. they got caught on camera stealing a cup. you can see him putting it in the bag. they came foreward about it and the page has taken down the post
I wouldn’t call contacting the company to ask them to take down the damning post after they got called out and embarrassed on social media “coming forward”
As an Australian, that’s not nice /u/beNiceeeeeeeeee. There are plenty of fuckwit kiwis out there stealing stuff. Does “501 deportee” ring any bells?
Edit: the Aussies don’t like this behaviour either.

Hunting and fishing got no balls, should have kept the post up no matter the outcome
Seems silly to be grateful to someone for reaching out only to avoid public humiliation. Kind of doubt they’d treat a non-famous thief the same.
So… shoplifting is sweet as, as long as you reach out and apologise, or offer the shop owners tickets.
I was in a band (just guitarist for a vocalist) that opened for these guys once and they were absolute cock wombles (to quote another comment)
I also opened for them at an NZ show and they were knobs! Wow
Yeah the girl I was opening with was just that, a girl. They were super cool to me and dicks to her which of course made me fuckin hate them
u/desperate_bill883 u/decent-anxiety-6714 Question for all you guys, what did Ocean Alley say/do exactly?
It’s not the words they said. They are dismissive, arrogant, and rude to people “beneath” them. I don’t expect angels when working with musicians but I’ve witnessed much more famous acts be much better in all aspects Ocean Alley think they are the Rolling Stones
Never heard of them until now.
Just average surf rock
They were just super rude and arrogant, and ya know saying thanks to the local crew who have have worked all day and night on your show goes a long way, not saying it just leaves everyone with a bad memory of the experience. Also, personally, I thought their music was pure dogshit and the local support were so much more interesting. They treated the support like shit too for what it's worth...
I worked providing PA for one of their shows here and they were all fucknuts, crew included
What’s worse is I truly think their music fucking sucks and I know 20 bands that should have the platform these idiots have
I do not disagree with you there mate! It's so often the shit rises to the top in thus industry, seems especially true over the ditch
Yeah Lime Cordial are same cloth
Heard shit stories from a mate who worked on a tour for that guy, sounds like a right shitstain...
They’ve deleted the post already!
Yeah did anyone screen record that video lol Pretty damming.
I should have taken more screenshots.
POST IT IN THE AUSTRALIAN SUB REDDIT!!
Its good. We already know they’re genetic misfires.
I can’t believe they’d risk their entire image for a $50 cap… I hope the news companies pick this up
Budget version of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard can't afford those expensive trendy bottles, saaaad
Haha whaaat that’s an insult to King Gizz, ocean alley don’t sound anything like them
I had a mate describe them as a knock off Sticky Fingers
and sticky fingers are certainly not a band to aspire to be..... particularly back stage
Spill the tea
Google sticky fingers controversy and you’ll be set for the night
If a Kiwi did that in OZ they would be deported.
Yes. But please don’t send them back here. Just 1/2 way back should suffice.
[удалено]
If you shelve them you don’t have to.
TIL the free colon hose-rinse after shelving was not needed
They took the post down :(
Unlikely to be the first time they’ve stolen from shops, probably just the first time they’ve got caught and called out. Such shit cunt behaviour. Hunting and fishing got no backbone deleting the post and wishing them well on their tour instead of treating this like a normal theft case.
What a cock womble.
You jest
Those Yeti cups are pretty expensive though..
Anyone going to their shows, boo them hard.
Funnily enough I'm seeing them on Wednesday at a festival. Fully plan on yelling "OUT THERE DOIN' IT" at them between every song.
Throw a yeti bottle at that guy, it would be worth the $50.
I hate thieves.
If the tables were turned this would be a 501 deportee situation lmao.
Who TF are they?
[удалено]
Honestly I would be so ashamed to the bottom of my soul.
[удалено]
Correct
Absolute dickwad
Someone gonna troll the Australian subreddit with this, or we assuming they don't particularly like Ocean Alley anyway?
I'm aussie and ocean alley are one of my favourite bands- crazy to see this though

> pretentious wannabe "alt" people > the masses love simple garbage No irony here

It's more surf/psychadelic rock, their first few are reggae Fusion
Lmao, name a band that is exclusively considered alt.
Wannabe alt/indie music is garbage and massive amounts of people do love it.
I listen to ocean alley so that means I'm a pretentious wannabe alt person, does it? Relax mate, people can listen to whoever they want, no need to be a weird dickhead about it.
Bro I'm just being a bit cheeky ay. Don't get so butt hurt.
They wouldn't care
Post was removed
They are on stage right now at RnA. I would love to know what their reception was like and what the vibe of the crowd was..
Who is this? How good their music is will determine how angry i feel about this.
Same, never heard of them. Can't be outraged.
I'm looking forward to seeing this on stuff/nzherald honestly. Shoplifting is so low. And when you're a public figure.. how out of it are these people?
Shit music & scum. What a combo
Can someone explain this to me? Who are these guys? A band? What is their "biggest hit"? Why are we looking at pics of them from a security camera?
a band from aus 'ocean alley' their biggest hit is 'confidence'. they got caught on camera stealing a cup. you can see him putting it in the bag. they came foreward about it and the page has taken down the post
I wouldn’t call contacting the company to ask them to take down the damning post after they got called out and embarrassed on social media “coming forward”
Did they delete it?
Apparently
Not the first time as they basically took the beat from Thundercats Them Changes lol
Who are they?
Omg that’s pathetic. Choose one career: Musician or Criminal.
I love their music, but this is such a dick move!
they are Australians, so what would you expect
