"The Unknown: Off Orbit | The Good, The Bad, and The Unknown"

There’s been a huge resurgence of the blues appreciation this past decade. While the White Stripes and Black Keys stole much of the lime light with their blues-turned up to 11, traditional blues took a back seat. Off Orbit is a pure blues rock band out of Miami, Florida. While many blues rock bands before them like the Black Crowes or even the Stones were noticeably influenced by the blues greats, Off Orbit truly tries to harness the power of the BB Kings, the Stevie Ray Vaughns and the John Lee Hookers in their music. There’s struggle in their songs. There’s a fight that can only be found in a blue collar bar band that plays their heart out every night to the one regular who’s drowning himself in a beer in the back of the bar. The Beatles started this way, too, look where it got them. Absorbing the atmosphere of the Latin culture of Florida, Off Orbit adds their own touch of flair to a grimy genre. Their guitars sizzle with style backed by a rhythm section that provides a punch of disco soul. When it all comes together there’s a psychedelic vibe shaking the songs from the inside, with Moises’ lead vocals as our humble guide. If all the records in a vinyl shop climbed off the shelves and had a party when we all went to sleep, it might sound something like this. - The Good, The Bad, and The Unknown


"Let Off Orbit take you for a quick ride with “City Of Wonders”"

Off Orbit may be from Miami, Florida, but their sound comes straight from the Texas desert expanse where plenty of psych-blues bands have called home. Their three-song debut EP, City Of Wonders, is a quick snapshot into their developing sound. - Eli Jace (IMP)


"Off Orbit"

"I am sure you, like I, wander past in a bleary ear of indifference as this genre fills the wallpaper paste of elevator music, but from time to time something cocks the ear and so I find myself with Off Orbit. The quintet – plus – have grasped the essential sounds of their mix-tape and weave from the loom a luxurious blend that settles like a cashmere pair of socks on the feet – hardly felt but somehow comforting at the same time" - Indie Bands Blog

"On Track To Vintage Psychedelic Funk"

The lead single of the EP is ‘Pretty Little Things’. It is a beautiful mix of echoed vocals and spaced out sounds over a nice peppy rock beat. Psychedelic without leaving you wondering what you just listened to. The other highlight of the EP is ‘Vice City’, another fun rock song with an interesting mix of sounds. Marcus shows off some blues guitar skills in this one. There are some other interesting instruments in there creating something both mainstream and yet unique at the same time. - Indie Band Guru

"Fresh Tracks"

"The Jimenez brothers craft a blend of bluesy psych, funk and rock, complete with hypnotizing percussion and soul-soothing guitar rhythms and melodies influenced by bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, CCR, The Black Crowes, and Grand Funk Railroad and more, which is evident on notable songs like the uptempo, hard-hitting funky, groove-heavy track, “Lil B,” featuring psych rock guitar and keyboard jams." - Indie Rock Cafe

Bio

OFF ORBIT is an original music band from Miami, FL influenced by vintage psychedelic blues rock, funk grooves, alternative sounds, and improvised jams.  

The band's sound features soulful vocals, bass driven grooves, melodic guitar solos, and upbeat drums. Think of a stew made up of The Doors, Black Crowes, Ween, Cake, and Pink Floyd just to name a few. 

Off Orbit has been actively performing in the music scene since 2011 with a wide range of material to play multiple hours of originals and classics to entertain any crowd, big and small, young and old, with a deep focus in groove, sound, and entertainment.  All of its musical influences intertwine into songs that take you into a journey of diverse musical eras and sounds.

Founded and fronted by brothers Mo (vocals, bass, keys, harmonica) and Marc (lead guitar), the duo continues to hone and evolve their sound while handling all songwriting duties and studio production for the group. The brothers lay a blend of bluesy psych, complete with hypnotizing percussion, soul-soothing guitar rhythms and melodies.  With over 10 years of experience under their belts they collaborate with other seasoned local musicians to complete the lineup of Miami's own OFF ORBIT!
