Are there any good websites for this band? The only thing I can find about them is on http://www.canoe.ca.

Never heard of the band Rye. What kind of music do they make, anything like The Hip (i know, i know....there's only one Hip)

the odds have long broken up my friend, probably before the internet was concieved! Alright band though

[Beat]

Thanx, mistery solved. All i can say is they haven't been famous in The Netherlands, if that was the case i would have heard of them.

[jeromio]

hey man, are the Tragically Hip well known in Holland?????

Speaking of The Odds, they opened up for The Hip many moons ago, I think it might have been during the Day for Night tour. I remember seeing them come on before Gordie & Co.

The Hip isn't very well known in Holland i'm afraid. They never made the hitparade. On the other hand, they will do five shows overhere, so let's say the insiders know The Hip.

The Odds were fairly big in Canada in 1995 or so. That was also the year the opened for The Hip on the Canadian leg of the Day For Night tour. They haven't released anything in about 5 years or so I think. Steven Drake was a singer/guitar player for The Odds and helped either mix, or produce Trouble At The Henhouse. Here's a few good Odds songs to check out...

- Wendy Under The Stars
- Heterosexual Man
- It Falls Apart
- Satisfied
- The Truth Untold
- Eat My Brain

[Beat]

Thanx alot, i'll certainly check them out.

Damn!! The Odds did break up yes. They were a great group. Saw them open for the Hip in 95.

And I think someone mentioned they broke up before the internet was conceived. No..it was fairly recent, like within the last few years.

I think that they broke up around 1999 or so. They must have had a site at one point because Rory has a link for them under The Hip's supporting groups on his site. http://www.killerwhaletank.com/rory
