BAND BIO
Omega Love is a five piece band based out of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Consisting of Jocelyn Geisler (voice), Jim Barr (keyboards), Luke Williams (guitar), Joe Rusnak (bass), and Jon Rent (drums). Omega Love has found a unique and intriguing sound that melds warm, sultry female vocals with progressive, jazz and dance inflected synth-pop. Still, Omega Love is hard to pin down and claims a long list of influences ranging from early jazz and soul to modern rock, electronica, hip-hop and R&B. Their more recognizable influences include Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, Erykah Badu, Jamiroquai, Bjork, The Roots and many more.

Shortly after their conception in the fall of 2004, the members of Omega Love decided to live together under one roof within that same year. The band has since been fully devoted to their collective pursuit of creating and performing original music that has proven to appeal to a broad demographic. Growing very close personally and musically, Omega Love has quickly become a driving force in the independent music scene. Many of the most sought after promoters and club owners in and around Pittsburgh have quickly taken notice and agree that Omega Love is the band of choice for any venue or event. As a feature at some of Pittsburgh’s high-profile gigs, Omega Love has acquired a devout following through their strong live performance. Fresh out of the studio in the spring of this year, the band has just released their self-titled debut album.

"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." ~~Aaron JentzenMusic Editor, Pittsburgh City Paper
