Biography

"Cult of the UnderDog" was the name and title song for Oden's 12-song acoustic pre-album that now has become the name of his band. With veteran musicians Paul Lacques (guitars) and Shawn Nourse (drums) from the band "I See Hawks In LA" and Dug Mug (bass) from the "44's", Oden was able to record the alternative rock Christmas EP called "A Not So Silent Night" for this past Christmas. See the "Silent Night"and "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" videos here:

And this is followed by the band's newest studio songs for online distribution to join the studio version of "Cult of the UnderDog". Again, Oden, Shawn and Dug Mug were joined by Bob Boulding of the "Young Dubliners" for the inspiring "Cult of the UnderDog" studio single and amazingly unique song - "Dirty Harry - Dead Man Talking".
