Woodleg Odd

It has been told that the roots of the blues were brought to America by Africans. Another legend says that the Europeans came to America with Columbus. The vikings of Norway, however, know better. When Columbus arrived in the 15th century, their main task appeared to be the hiding of several hundred years old traces from the vikings. Traces like red amanita, beer bottles, and guitar strings that had broken under excessive bending of blue notes.

Very few people are aware of the fact that there are still a remaining tribe of this vikingblues people living in a wooden house on the west coast of Norway. In this very house, viking ships are still being built accompanied by viking blues, played on wooden instruments. In fact, the drummer Odd Ludvik?s foot is as well a wooden instrument, as a result of an earlier battle. A mast from one of the viking ships now serves as the foot that drives the bass drum pedal. It also gave a name to the band. Woodleg Odd?s second album "The Right Track" made the Odd vikings conquer a significant area of Norway. And their 3rd album "Norwegian Wood" resulted in heavily touring in Norway and UK, and even three US-tours as well. After releasing their forth album "Foot Fetish" in San Francisco the band is getting more and more popular in US and Europe, and are planning to be back late 07/early 08. So watch out if you're ready for a powerful concert with quality, humour and diversity, because Woodleg Odd will be around soon...
