Julie Ocean

Indie-jangle pop ensemble Julie Ocean (the name of a band, not a singer,) based their operations in Washington, D.C. for the scant few years of their existence. Initially Friendship Flower Shop, named for a local retail florist, they transformed to Julie Ocean, inspired by a song from the early-'80s Northern Ireland group the Undertones. Early influences for the group include the Beatles, the Ramones, Orange Juice, Aztec Camera, and Flying Nuns. Bandmembers had known each other as early as 1990 through Peter Cortner, the singer from Dag Nasty. Never a touring group, Julie Ocea...
