ODIST has a very impressive line-up of musicians, making a two piece band sound much bigger. Formed in December 2007, ODIST has accomplished much in the short year and half that they've been together. They played their first show at Corndogorama, a famous Atlanta festival, in June 2008 and blew their audience away. Haveyouheard.net stated the next day "...this three piece holds it down...Prog rock sound, flawless transitions, banging breaks.." and that was the first show! Since September 2008, they have toured all around the east coast in support of their self-titled debut EP, and have even broken records for most views on independent internet show Dirty South TV (www.dirtysouthtv.tv). After over a year as a three piece band (with guitarist Parker Newell), in August 2009 ODIST became an explosive drum and bass two piece, incorparting a more electronic sound containng samples, keyboards, loops, and electronic percussion. They are kicking off their west coast tour in October 2009 debuting their brand new sound to the world. Jason Craig (bass, samples, keyboard, trumpet) and Sarah Wilson (drums, keyboard, electronic percussion) both make up the extraordinary band ODIST, a band with new refreshing ideas on rock music today.
"Don't let the Mickey Mouse vest fool you, this is
some serious shit. Mouths are agape before the band
starts playing at the black chick who takes her seat
behind what the announcer claims to be "the coolest
drum kit we've seen all fuckin' day." Prepared with
their own dry erase board announcing their band, this
three piece holds it down. Prog rock sound, flawless
transitions, banging breaks. Odist plays with
dynamics, transitioning from rim riding to unison
rocking!"--haveyouheard.net, june 28th, 2008
"ODIST sounds a bit spooky and pretty cool..."---www.bhamweekly.com
"This Athens trio makes prog-rock for the Radiohead generation with FX-heavy guitar mood pieces that evolve into psychedelic workouts, utilizing purposeful, consistent drumming and occasional vocals within expansive epic rock compositions."---'the weeks 12 most promising concerts', www.charlotteobserver.com
"For the uninitiated, you’ll find rumbling toms and double bass-drum drives, effusive cymbal precision and capable automatic weapon beats augmented by a flurry of synthetic swishes, swoons and blips. Add subdued, nearly inaudible vocals, sure-handed bass lines and dense, lurid guitar work. For fans of My Bloody Valentine and Coheed and Cambria searching for progressive, shoegaze jams peppered in metal shavings, Odist comes recommended."---http://flagpole.com/Weekly/CalendarPick/Odist.23Feb09
"Not 5 minutes after he was off stage I got a text saying that Odist was playing so I hustled over to DU only to find they had not even set up yet, but at least I didn’t miss anything.
This was their EP release and there was definitely a good crowd there. Graham Yoder of the Atlanta band Jungol was a guest guitarist with them on a few songs and totally ripped it up. Sarah destroyed the drums. I’ve seen her play a number of times and she always rocks it out, but this time she really let it all out. I can’t stress enough how much of a amazing musician Jason is. He is definitely one of the best bass players that I’ve seen playing out in Atlanta and together he and Sarah make up a MEAN rhythm section.
The show was great, the new music is HUGE for a two piece, and Graham stepping in for some of the older material from when they were a 3 piece couldn’t have been better."--bret phillips, bretphillips.com/
