Bela
Lugosi and Elvis Presley both died
on Stoo Odom's birthday. The GRAVES BROTHERS
DELUXE, disembodied musical spirits from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, thus
chose
Odom eagerly when looking for host bodies to
express themselves. A New Orleans native/ recovering archaeologist/
Pirate Cat
Radio personality, Odom shares the current
possessée duties with San Franciscans Willy the Mailman, Marco
Villalobos,
and Allison Lovejoy. Host bodies of GBDLX
have put in time with THIN WHITE ROPE, SUBARACHNOID SPACE, THE
RESIDENTS, GRANDADDY,
and the late NOEL REDDING (yeah, him).
Since their formation in 1998, GBDLX have released a smoldering heap of albums, singles, and EPs, leading them to tours of Japan, Spain, Mexico, and the USA, plus international radio & TV appearances. Most recently, the Brothers were seen performing on ANTHONY BOURDAIN'S NO RESERVATIONS on the Travel Channel.
GBDLX also work in the world of film soundtracks ("Reeling," "Neurotique," and "Madalien the Small"), music videos (by award-winning director Nara Denning), and in 2009 released the self-titled MAHIKARI album, a collaboration with ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE's Kawabata Makoto and the BOREDOMS' Yamamoto Seiichi. Other collaborations are currently underway, including one with Eddie Shaw of '60's icons THE MONKS.
