Boy...I've been really negligent with our little diary over here, eh? So here we are in 2008..holy crap....you know OGO first materialized in about October of 2004, and when I think about where we've come from and what we are now, I can barely understand how it happened at all. I've been searching my computer to try to find our original set list from our first show, and I can't find it (though I bet Tawni has it shoved in her folder of OGO relics). I did find a sample one from very early on though....so for your general amusement:
- Mission Impossible - from when we believed we needed a chessetastic intro song
- Lana and Stevie - an early Donna's song
- Girl on the Verge - some obscure cover
- Walk Away -
- Mr. Brightside - Killers song that was, for some reason, actually deadly to our then guitarist
- a Coheed & Cambria song that we could never agree on the real title of
- Lump - by the Presidents of the USA
- I Want You to Want Me - done in the style of Letters to Cleo
- Hazy Shade - done in the style of The Bangles
- Supermodel - by Jill Sobule
- Picture - I think this was our third original that we still have
- Dammit - Blink 182
- Sedated - The Ramones
- Violet - Hole
So as you can see, mostly covers...most of which we no longer even remember how to play. And this isn't even that early on ...probably at least 7 months into being a band. So how did a cover band turn into us....it's so weird.
So anyway - I'm thinking about all this stuff b/c last night was Kristen's last show with us. She's off to do a much more thorough job of spinning, chopping, frying...and, ah, souffleing. Anyways - I swore to myself that the combination with her would be the last combo for Odd Girl Out - and here we are, again minus a guitarist, and yet still persisting. I guess we've still got songs left to play.
OGO will be working as a 4 piece for the time being, but if you know of any/are a female rhythm guitarist, bassist, or even drummer, there may be a place for you in OGO. We're willing to shift our roles (again) for the right person.
