Outer Space Outtakes, the sensational new album by the alternative metal post grunge band, The OddEven, is a groove-centered guitar party that brings us deep into the fold of the unknown, getting twisted and high, raucous and rebellious, as if the sky was suddenly filled with dark spirits from other worlds dancing in the afterimage of our own flashing shadows. Lyrically, The OddEven delves into fantastic alien encounters as much as the paradoxical truths about complex relationships.
Altogether, the album covers a broad spectrum of imagination and emotion, all thematically tied to the idea that we must set ourselves free of the chains of toxicity. The album was produced by Weed and E.T., alongside Frank Marchand (Fiona Apple, Nils Lofgren) at Waterford Digital and mastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Monster Magnet, Fleetwood Mac) at West West Side Music.

About The OddEven
The OddEven are an alternative metal post grunge band known for riff-oriented hard rock with a massive groove and hypnotic kick that will spin you around on your barstool and get you to your feet in a jam-packed arena. Similar to the way that Nikola Tesla and Leonardo Da Vinci said their inspiration came from somewhere beyond earth, Weed (bass) and E.T. (guitar) write the songs as if harnessing the power of divine intervention. Grant Walker handles the vocals with brilliant expertise, and Jim Chaney works his magic on drums.
As for the origin story, we have the legal obligation here at Eclipse to inform our listening audience that the two founding members of The OddEven are, in fact, infamous secrets that the government has been hiding for years in reference to Hangar #3 on the grounds of Area 51. Originally, Weed and E.T. were found inside pressurized sleeping chambers in a strange pod-shaped craft that had crash landed near an opal mine in the south Nevada desert. The two aliens were composed of a crystallite substance with silver colored blood pulsing through semi-transparent veins. The two were then quickly transported to “Hangar #3” and caged in glass observation booths, yet the next morning, January 1st, 2019, officers discovered that the new prisoners had vanished.
Rumor has it that overnight the two outworlders broke containment and discovered the robotics lab, where they pilfered capsules containing nanobot technology that they used to redevelop themselves in human form. Slowly, they worked their way into new lives, with rock music as their savior, and it was only when Weed took a DNA test that he realized he had no DNA, that he had to wake up, and that he had to find E.T. to figure a way to deal with this broken and wonderful sea of humanity, through music that he called The OddEven. It was not long before they were opening for Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, Soulfly, Last in Line (Dio), and Nonpoint, plus headlining shows in FL, MS, New York City, and Philly with seasoned musicians.
The band’s first record, Space Juice, arrived on Earth on 4.20.20. It spawned two singles “Again” and “Bleed for Something” which each cracked Billboard’s Mainstream Rock top 30 and Foundations top 15 charts. In early 2021, the band recorded “Dance of the Dead” and released it on 9.24.21 (Pavement Entertainment). Touring commenced in July 2021 in Florida with a couple of headlining shows plus opening for Slaughter and LA Guns. In September and October, The OddEven completed a thirty-city cross-country tour with Adema and Flaw. “Dance of the Dead” (title track) reached #8 on the Foundations and #20 on the Billboard radio charts in Nov. 2021. The OddEven signed with Eclipse Records, January 2024 in conjunction with completing their album titled, Darkness. Since its release The OddEven have been touring, writing new material, and solidifying their new lineup, featuring Grant Walker and Jim Chaney, as mentioned above.
