Willamette Week Local Cut--PDX Pop Now! Fest '08 Day 2 Review "...Bodhi’s Brian Carr mangles the fuck out of his guitar during its last song, and Ansley throws her drum kit to the side. It’s a good reminder that between all the hushed-folk and slinky electronics, people still rock out in this city...."
PDX pop now! '08 blog
"That was a first! Bodhi just became the first band in the history of PDX Pop Now! to smash their instruments at the end of their set. Guitars were flying, cymbals were toppling, drum thrones got body slammed. It was just like in those movies about rock music! It was an appropriate end to Bodhi's set...loud, fast, raucous and melodic."
Willamette Week Profile (printed 7/2/08) "Though it still hasn’t released a proper record (the band aims to self-record its debut this month after recruiting a fourth member), Bodhi managed to land a track on the recently released PDX Pop Now! compilation—and “Nadine†might be the gem of the entire 40-song record. Emerging from behind a layer of tape hiss, it’s a wonderfully catchy slice of garage-pop bliss, building from a rolling drum fill into a guitar-and-Farfisa organ breakdown that’s guaranteed to have your foot tapping in seconds."
Willamette Week featured track (5/12/08) "It being PDX Pop Now! day and all, we thought we'd share a little gem from the future compilation for ya. ... Someone who buys the CD for the unreleased Joggers song might be blown away by a band they've never heard of—and I have a feeling lots of folks will be spelling the virtues of Bodhi after hearing "Nadine," its rawking slice of garage-pop bliss."
