Welcome

OdESSA. Garage Funk Pop-Rock - the sound of funk, power-pop with a twist of jazz and a spit of country. Back to the dusty centre-line where rock'n'roll and R'n'B first cross-mutated. Ask anyone who's seen the live show. Over 200 live appearances in three years to a large and ever-growing loyal army of followers. Sweat-flecked echoes of five decades. Memorable songs played inside out, night after night. A tight, fluid and inventive rhythm section -'Puba' Swain on drums, Paul Mouncey on bass - with the searing licks and dirty grooves of guitarist Armitage and the slippery vocal range of talented front-man Pender. Four musician's crammed on a murky stage playing wild to hot, sweaty crowds going crazy in a heady swirl of streetlights and hormones. Exactly the way it's supposed to be.
