'A Superman'
Ok folks! Here it is, a little snippet of whats to come this summer from the ODi camp! 'A Superman' will be the lead track from the forthcoming E.P. Its hot off the....erm... decks so let us know what you think. Also another review in last issue's HOTPRESS magazine from our recent gig supporting Michele-Ann Kelly at the Civic Theatre in Tallaght.
Civic Theatre Dec 07 supporting Michele Ann Kelly
The Civic is an excellent venue for an intimate rock gig, with a clear sound and a sense that no matter where you sit you can still nearly check the artist’s heartbeat. ODi kicked off with a rendition of ‘Don’t Let Me Fall’ and ‘A Superman’ that captivated the audience immediately. Claire Odlum’s voice seems to have been magically liberated and an upsurge in gigs in Ireland and England have brought an added confidence. She has a natural onstage persona, possibly the woman with least attitude on the current scene. Her next single ‘What You Deserve’ followed, a haunting song with a simple but infectious guitar riff supplied by her guitar and harmonica-wielding sidekick Dave Redfearn. ‘You Win But You Lose’, a perfect anthem for fans of Leeds United is lighter, and they finished with the fine ‘Mariposa’. A short, tight and effective set, put across with grace and easy passion, Odi are moving in the right direction.
