oddness

What do you get if you cross a Belgian man, an Englishman, a Greek man and a Portuguese man? you get . . . Oddness is a 4 piece band based in Manchester, England. Maxwell Watts ( a.k.a Colin Crichton) is the singer-guitarist-saxophonist from Belgium. Rob Shneider is the bassist from England. Angelos Gavriilidis is the drummer from Greece. Davis Sousa is the keyboardist from Portugal.The band formed in 2002 and creates a delicious blend of funk, dub, rock and jazz with a film noir twist. Imagine Tarantino and The Doors with a twisted afro beat. Like eggs, the origin and formation was not easily put together. Maxwell and Rob auditioned over 4000 drummers (okay 4), before Angel (as he prefers to be called) burst through their door, sticks in hand and an evil grin upon his face. Keys have passed from fingers to hands till Davis stepped up to the challenge."A Doorsy ride through the night. oddNESS certainly big up the quirkiness" Manchester, City LifeAs for gigs, this group isnt restricted to these shores.
