1) A five-piece rock group from Pasadena, CA, Ozma’s sound is a mix of new-wave–influenced power pop and rock with Casiotone-driven melodies and heavy guitar riffs. The complexity of Ozma’s songs grew considerably during the band’s initial nine-year history, and after their split in 2004 they announced their reformation in early 2006.
2) Jazz sextet from Strasbourg, France. Founded in 2001
3) Ambient space music duet that released one well-received album, “A Huge and Silent Place”, in 2000, before breaking up. The album is still in print, and is sold by one of the band members.
1)The band was formed in September 1995 by Ryen Slegr (vocals/guitar), Daniel Brummel (vocals/bass), Jose Galvez (guitar/vocals), and Pat Edwards (drums), with the later addition of Star Wick (keyboard/flute). After assembling a collection of early demos called Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars, the band self-released their first proper full-length Rock And Roll Part 3 on January 1st, 2000. Characterized by distorted guitars, melodic basslines, keyboard-driven hooks, vocal harmonies, and confessional lyrics, the album won the band considerable acclaim via the Internet — Ozma was one formative success story of online word-of-mouth via Napster and MP3.com. Ultimately, buzz surrounding the band became loud enough to reach Weezer, who would eventually take Ozma (along with The Get Up Kids) on their first arena tour in 2001.

If you think they don't sound like Weezer (especially 90's Weezer), you're just lying to yourself.

I'm a big fan, but I agree that they sound very much like Weezer. I'm not sure to what extent this is a coincidence as a result of mutual influence and appreciation. I generally enjoy Ozma's vocals and lyrics better :-)

The ultimate in Dork Rock. Even good live when Daniel Brummel is out sick (id est engine room performance in Houston circa 2004). And yes they sound like Weezer with more instrumentation and stronger vocals

If you think Ozma sounds like Weezer, you should try listening to more music...it's a silly and shallow comparison.

Spending time is a fantastic album that deserves to be seen without the lazy Weezer comparisons.
