Open Air Stereo

Open Air Stereo is a rock band that originated in Laguna Beach, California.

In early 2001, Chase Johnson, Kelan and Braeden Hurley, along with Ryah Arthur formed Stulpigeon, a band that played mostly covers of songs by groups such as Foo Fighters and Incubus. Drummer Nick Gross joined the band in 2002. In 2006, the group, now called Open Air Stereo, gained national exposure on the MTV reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. The band claims influences such as Rage Against the Machine, Muse, Incubus, Led Zeppelin and The Doors, evident in their older work, with their later work adopting a more pop punk-esque sound.

The band independently released a self-titled EP in April 2005. Following the success of their break-thru single, they signed to Epic Records. They have released two albums titled Primates and Living Proof.

In March 2008, both Kelan Hurley (guitar) and Braeden Hurley (bass) left the band to pursue other passions according to the band's myspace, they have been replaced by Scott Pounds on guitar and Dan Pappas on bass.

On September 11, 2008 drummer Nick Gross posted on the group's official website this statement. "If you guys haven't noticed, Open Air Stereo has gone on an indefinite hiatus. The issues that happened remain closed to the public for the time being. OAS hopes to regroup sometime towards the end of the year, but nothing is for sure. We are very sorry to give you guys this news and we thank you all for such great support over the years. Cheers"

In October 2008, Chase Johnson was on the red carpet of Christian Audigier for Mercedes-Benz LA Fashion Week.

As of February 2009 drummer Nick Gross has joined California rapper Thrasher as part of his touring band and recorded on his EP as well. As of January 2010 Gross is no longer touring with Thrasher.

February 2010 Drummer Nick Gross is currently working with up and coming artist Lolene and is a part of her touring band.
