This Pic is taken from the 2nd annual Holiday Show. David Didn't even put on his lab coat until the set really got cooking!
On December 16th, 1997 Overdrive Date Master performed a very special Christmas show at Upstairs at Nicks in their hometown of Philadelphia. As promised, they did not use any instruments opting instead to abuse their vast collection of flea market records, analog effects and echos, and vintage amps.
This CD is the result of what happened that fateful winter evening...
My, How we've grown.
This Pic is taken from the 2nd annual Holiday Show. David Didn't even
put on his lab coat until the set really got cooking!
This Picture is from the most recent Holiday show on 12/15/00. Now
featuring electric mandolin as well as a doubleneck bass/guitar ODM still
avoided playing anything even remotely musical whatsoever.
Program Note: This CD was digitally recorded from a stereo cassette master. All dropouts, errors in level and panning, and surface noise have been impeccably preserved to force you to listen to what the audience had to deal with.
Final Warning: This album captures an experiment in sound and free form noise improvisation. If you'd like to hear our songs you might want to get our other album "How Can You be Sellout If No One is Buying?" NO rights are reserved. Copy/Listen/Laugh at your own risk.
"This sounds like Burl Ives getting a handjob from a Fire Hydrant!"
- Your Mother
"It really got me in the holiday spirit"
- Charles Manson
"I can’t believe I’m letting them play again."
- Rick Dubrowski, Club Manager @Nicks
ODM will be doing it all over again this year for our annual Holiday show. Check the LIVE page for details and come out and throw things.
