Back to the dusty centre-line where rock'n'roll and R'n'B first cross-mutated. Ask anyone who's seen OdESSA live. Memorable songs played inside out, night after night to a growing army of loyal followers.
A tight, fluid and inventive rhythm section, with searing licks and dirty guitar grooves, polished off with strong, soulful vocals - playing wild to hot, sweaty crowds going crazy in a heady swirl of streetlights and hormones.
Exactly the way it's supposed to be. Look out for OdESSA's new album "The Prize" in stores sep '07.
Matthew Pender - Vocals
Daniel Ryland - Guitar
Paul Mouncey - Bass
Matthew Swain - Drums
After firmly establishing themselves as one of the country's most exceptional live acts over the last 5 years, OdESSA are pleased to announce release of their second album "The Prize". <!--break-->

They still around, busy boys though..pretty much restricted to the odd drunken jam session these days. Thanks for voting :) enjoyed your band at the welly music showcase thingy...
Just to clarify, you can vote once a day until the 8th January, thx.
Hey all OdESSA are entered in the live and local competition, which basically means if you vote for us, we get to play at the big day out, which would be super cool cos we cant afford tickets cos were struggling musicians and Pender really wants to see the stooges, anyway follow the link at the bottom of this post and vote away (you can vote once a day till the 8th). Thanking you in advance.

Hey Ronald, I couldn't agree more about the award at the battle of the bands, the whole thing is a load of BS which seems to be already won by a band who is already signed to intergalactic records, (Stardrunk the year we competed). With regards to my bass, it does the trick. I dont have much money to spend on gear, lol, and I certainly didnt purchase that bass because of how it looks (i consider playability and tone to be more important) if you wanna see dodgy you should check out my amp.
how astute! at the time of the video shoot the intonation on my d - string was out causing the notes above about the 10th fret to be a bit sharp, fixed now though.
oh shux - very kind words indeed, thanks to everyone who came down to the bodge and to everyone who has bought the album, we love youse all. if Pender were here Im sure he would say something like MWAH!!!!
Paul.
try that again,
