Liquid Blue is an American indie pop rock band formed in San Diego, California in 1996 by Scott Stephens & Michael Vangerov. The group has performed in more than 500 cities in 100 countries on six continents and have been recognized as "the world's most traveled band".〔("The Worlds Most Traveled Band" ) 92024 Magazine. November 29, 2012〕〔("Most Traveled Band Headlines Bonsallpalooza" ) Fallbrook Bonsall Village News. June 9, 2011〕〔Mendoza, Bart.("‘The World’s Most Traveled Band’ cinches OB ties" ) San Diego Community News〕 They are more popular in parts of Asia and Europe than in their home country (USA). In 2010 the group scored their first hit in the United States with the song "Earth Passport", which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Chart in October 2010. Earth Passport was recorded using nine languages including all six of the official languages of the United Nations. Liquid Blue received a Guinness World Record for "Earth Passport" for "Song Sung in the Most Languages".

The band was "certified green" by the County of San Diego in May 2009.〔(Certified Green, San Diego County. )〕 The band's official slogan is "Music To Move You."

At the time of their initial LP release, the group’s use of Eastern Indian instruments (tabla, sitar, kanun) and scales were unique in pop music with Liquid Blue being one of the first groups to record an entire album blending East Indian music with western pop/rock. Indian influenced songs have appeared on pop albums before, most notably on The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Liquid Blue’s somewhat limited number of original compositions all contain “socially conscious” lyrics by primary songwriter Scott Stephens, a former professional Roller Derby skater with the Los Angeles Thunderbirds. Tracks from their highly acclaimed debut album, Supernova, have been included on 20 separate compilation CD’s. The album was produced by David DeVore and mixed by Joe Chiccarelli and was awarded Pop Album of the Year at the Los Angeles Music Awards〔(Chiccarelli, Joe )〕〔(Devore, David )〕 The album Earth Passport was released in 2010 and yielded a No. 3 Billboard dance hit.〔
