The band members...Hello, great to come across this. The band members all hailed from in and around Burnie, and that's the town in the distance in the cover photo. I grew up in Burnie too, and knew The Odolites as successor to a great little band called Noddy's Revenge - I've got a tape of theirs that gets a run now and again. The singer and at least 1 other Noddy formed The Odolites, as I recall. Saw them at the Uni Bar in Hobart around 1987, and saw The Fish John West Reject a few times too.<br /><br />I don't recall ever listening to Persistence of Memory but I must have, because I remember taking it into a copy shop and asking them to colour-photocopy the cover, and they refused. I had never seen Burnie look so cool - it was a pretty daggy town.Chris Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700642814924759868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-2172873610108449592014-12-28T18:14:30.142-08:002014-12-28T18:14:30.142-08:00Thank You so much dear spavid.

I recall the Odolites when they had just moved to Melbourne from Tasmania and this EP was going to be the beginning of their big break. Aussie indie music was pretty vibrant back then (mid-80s) and quite a few bands from that era went on to big things. Unfortunately, not these guys.<BR/><BR/>But I went to school in northern Tasmania with one of the Odolites - Andrew Lethborg. In fact, I'm probably one of the only people on the planet who still owns a casette tape of three tracks by his first band Fear of Dance, recorded when he and the rest of that band were about 17 or 18 years old. That was 1983 ...Tim O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00292944444808847980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-27334739821062633112008-08-12T12:16:00.000-07:002008-08-12T12:16:00.000-07:00Holy Tasmania!

I think I downloaded it before, but somehow missed out on how great it is.<BR/><BR/>I hear REM and The Feelies, but they go beyond just being imitators. Something haunting. Maybe it's just me today, but I love it NOW.<BR/><BR/>Ace K.bglobe313https://www.blogger.com/profile/00308428545934319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-61063327638872427202008-07-31T00:30:00.000-07:002008-07-31T00:30:00.000-07:00In answer to your question about more information....In answer to your question about more information...The Odolites were a 4 piece guitar band who formed in the mid 80's in the North of Tasmania (Australia). At the time, groups in Tasmania playing original music were few and far between, especially those who championed bright, guitar pop. The Odolites wrote and recorded around 10 tunes, 5 of which became the EP, Persistence of Memory<BR/>(Rampant Records). The band relocated to Melbourne, and became part of a vibrant, ever growing independent scene. They received rave reviews for their Persistence of Memory EP, and the follow up single, Chimes. A video clip for this song exists. They released another single, Kathleen's Tantrum followed by a full-length album, Face Down in the Violets (Rampant Records). They disbanded in 1988. Members joined 3 other bands of note - Tender Engines, The Somerfields and The Fish John West Reject.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312873665010404510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-7535743832246904372008-06-04T08:59:00.000-07:002008-06-04T08:59:00.000-07:00Oh, great records.

Meant to mention in my last post - your notes on the music are exceptional. Not a big power-pop fan, but still appreciate good writing and insights. Thanks again for this.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070940850155130989noreply@blogger.com
