ooh, and meant to mention that they will be playing at The Package 5th Birthday down at sandwiches this friday night

Ooo yeah, the Friday gig is gonna be a hummer!!!

Went to Happy last night, was the first time I've seen them, and I was blown away. Fantastic stuff! Was so impressed, wish their album was out already!

Woa! Odessa at "Happy" in Wellington yesterday (june 12 '04). What a gig!

Nice photos, but one post is enough.

Awsome gig at Happy! I am in awe of OdESSA! (What's with the random upper and lower case letters?)

By the way, the email on the Odessaband.com website bounces back. Could just be me though, technology does seem to hate me...

Website is not quite finished yet but the info e-mail should be up soon, the lower case d is cos capital D looks like O in some fonts. Cheers for comments on Happy gig we had a lot of fun there, shame there is no tap beers...still they dont seem to have a problem with people drinking cans of Ranfurly draught in the toilets :)

Mmm Ranfurly. The choice of the homeless and poor student alike. The great social leveller.

Howz the recording coming along guys?

Stressed levels peaked? pissed with each other??

Really looking forwad to the finished product.... keep us posted :-)

I am pretty sure it went ok, things seemed to sound totally different from day to day, had great time getting up early and watching Euro 2004 every morning before the studio though....we will head back into the studio to do some mixing in about 3-4 weeks when our engineer gets back from his tour. So we'll keep youse posted. Playibng at Bodega this Saturday with The Accelerants if youse aint doin anything else.
Cheers.

Pender you bastard, you had better pull some phat songs like you did at Happy a couple of weeks ago. You guys were on fire that night! Admittedly I came to see Supersausage but I'm glad I hung around for you blokes.
Please dedicate one of your songs to alll the sausage consumers out there in the world.
ps I think you should wear a cape.
and a gun.

Did you guys play at Cuba st Carnival last night? I thought I saw singing guy [name escapes me] walking through town with a microphone. I regonized the suit aswell I think. I couldn't hang around for long though cause I had to meet some friends and drink; I was worried I might have missed your set.

You missed the only the good thing about this years pathetic excuse for a carnival. If OdESSA hadn't been playing it wouldn't have even been worth putting on. Well maybe the parade was quite good but everything else was absolute rubbish.

Unfortunately you did miss one of OdeSSA's best sets of modern times.

yay!! newtown fair ur gna mate if great

You guys served up a nice helping of funk before Goldenhorse on friday night! Awesome. Heard my fave song by you guys - I could beat you in a fight...oh yeah. Looking forward to the next gig!

Served up some funk? What the hell were you freaks doing up there on stage?
Feeding the poor lonely women with your malnutritioned semen?
I hope you realise with all the drugs your shooting, Pender, you aren't going to have any more babies any time soon.

Great gig on thursday. Only the super tunes of OdESSA could get Eastside to pump. Can't wait till your next gig.

I'm still waiting for you to release something.
So I can feed it to my dog.
You home wreckers, you will feel my well tuned wrath!

Hey all, our website is now up and running, check it out, hopefully we'll have some more mp3's and other stuff soon.

Is the style of all your music similar to " Baby, don't go home"? I like it funky, and that track is great.

OdESSA are in Auckland tonight (thursday 21st July) playing at AUT with One Million Dollars and Tangent, and at The Odeon on Friday night with Tomachi, for those of you not in Auckland, we will be on TOTP on Saturday evening. :)

i know who u ALL are. eSPECIALLY MR MOUNCEY!

watz dat suposed 2 mean???

penders a hottie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm interested in collecting any old OdESSA recordings. I have an old demo of theirs from the Newtown Festival cd from 2003 but I missed out on downloading 'Ain't Nobody Else' from their old website. Does anyone have it? Also any live recordings?

Is your user name named after the OdESSA song or did they write a song about you? That would be cool if they did. I think it's probably just a Pender/Armitaage song actually.
