We are happy to be a part of this fundraiser. Doors at 6pm. Big Head Project on at 6:30. Odds on 8-9. A fantastic bunch of silent auction items from Yellow Point Lodge to Betty Boop!

This will be an incredible show. Bob Kemmis’ new project “the Mockingbird” is released tonight and the whole album (plus) will be performed, recorded and filmed with a full 15 piece band — string AND horn sections. One night only. Craig produced the album and Pat and Doug are in the band. Tonight Craig will debut his percussion, backing vocal and dancing chops. Pat will be drumming and singing. Those who saw yesterday’s dress rehearsal are chomping at the bit to see this show tonight. Not to be missed. Doors at 7pm. Nat Jay at 8pm. The Mockingbird 9pm. Tickets available at the door $35 or cheaper here now.

This is not a photoshopped image. Like dogs, Doug’s are everywhere. The premier of BC and the Prime Minister of Canada like to surround themselves with Dougs. The Queen has her Corgis and Steven Harper has a number of Dougs. On this visit to BC Christy Clark suggested a rescue Doug and lo and behold the PM stepped up to the plate and adopted one with undetected “behavioural issues”. We could have told you Steven but you are not a good listener. What happened in the aftermath of this photo was unpleasant but entertaining. The Doug got a little excited by all the hooting and hollering and left a present for the PM. The PM didn’t see it in time and, let’s just say, someone needs some new Italian shoes and Armani jeans.

This dog actually wrote, recorded and produced the critically acclaimed Odds recording “Nest”. News leaked today from the London Times says the band was in rehab at the time of this production… a production credited to Nigel the Cat.
“We had run out of ideas, we were in and out of jail. Things were bad” says drummer Pat Steward.
” We would like to apologize to all of our fans for this horrible hood winking. At least we have never used a manatee to produce”.
Odds are currently sober and working on their 6th recording in Vancouver. It is tentatively called ” Tea With the Manatee”.

This is one great little fellah. We at Odds like dogs. A dog is a reflection of the owner. Some dogs look and even act like their owners. Can you tell which Odd this dog belongs to?

“The Deadly Vipers” appeared for their 2nd ever performance last night at the Fairview. It was was the 2nd annual “Merry Keithmas” Food Bank fundraiser celebrating Keith Richards’ birthday. The DV’s include Doug E, Pat S, Craig N and Colin James. We played “999″ and Slave”. Did anybody take any pictures? We’d love to have a couple. SEnd them along if you have them. Congrats to John Hewer and all the organizers and volunteers. It was a big success and here’s to the tradition continuing.

Our “Bedbugs” recording featured a bug on the cover. It was pointed out to me today that it was NOT a bedbug. But the so called friend didn’t know what kind of a bug it was. So we are even. Anyone know?

Also, he noted, our “Nest” release has a flying fish on the cover.
“Why wasn’t the cd called Fish or Flying Fish?” he asked.
Anyone know?

Thats right. 1038 Canada Place. We will be on for 45 minutes as part of ” The 12 bands of Christmas” food bank drive. 2pm. Doug will also be on with his talented pal Mark Petersen at noon. A good cause. Sponsored by Shore 104 and Global T.V.

HI all – It’s going to be a barn burner tonight. Tennessee 3 (yes…the legends), Aaron Pritchett (good hockey player), Ourselves (Odds), Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings (Ka-POW!) and Scratch Bastid (turntable fun). Now that is an old fashioned festival. It’s called “Raise the Roof” and we intend to help.

… not the works. We are seriously stuck in the stuff. Hard to breath. Can’t smell anything. Can’t taste or see much anymore. Might send for help soon.
