Hey Ocean! at the Vogue Theatre

      That Ashleigh Ball sure is a cutie. We’re not talking about the way she looks, although the Hey Ocean! singer definitely has a certain doe-eyed charm. No, it’s her voice that moves her dangerously close to being too adorable. And casting directors apparently think so too, seeing as how Ball has made a career of lending her pipes to such productions as A Very Fairy Christmas and Barbie Presents: Thumbelina. Perhaps her best-known gig to date, however, is voicing Oopsy Bear in nine episodes of Care Bears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot. Yes, you read that correctly: Oopsy Bear. And of course, she’s in a band too. Hey Ocean! makes the kind of music that bridges the gap between new-bohemian folk-funk and the kind of warm-and-fuzzy pop that finds its way into Zellers commercials. Hey Ocean! plays the Vogue Theatre on Friday (December 18), along with Current Swell and the Zolas. If you can’t make it out to the show, we suggest you console yourself by renting Care Bears: Oopsy Does It! on DVD. And get your mind out of the gutter—despite the title, it’s not an animated porno. Times are tough in Care-A-Lot, but Oopsy would never stoop that low.
