Ominous Seapods

Ominous Seapods were an integral part of the 90’s jamband scene. They performed nationwide often along side such bands as moe., Disco Biscuits and God Street Wine. They initially disbanded in 2001 but after a series of extremely well received reunion shows in 2018, they decided to reform and continue to play shows in select markets each year. The current lineup includes original touring members Max Verna, Tom Pirozzi, Brian Mangini and Ted Marotta. The fifth member, Dana Monteith, moved to Australia and doesn’t generally participate in live performances. Their shows include all the classics in the Seapod’s original catalog along with a few choice covers and some new material as well. Ominous Seapods built a dedicated fanbase by touring the nation relentlessly throughout the 1990’s and into the early 2000’s. They played such notable venues as Red Rocks in Colorado, the Wetlands Preserve in NYC, and the House of Blues in LA, Boston and Chicago as well countless large outdoor festivals. They released 3 studio albums and 2 official live recordings. Richard Gehr of Spin magazine called their album, Jet Smooth Ride, one of the top ten jam band releases of all time. Their music is known for its tight grooves, intense jams, catchy hooks and quirky humor. Each live Seapod’s show is a purely unique experience that captures the essence of their touring 90’s years but still evolves as a new and exciting project!
