After all, Seattle-based hardcore band Odd Man Out was in town. Typhoon or not, the Filipino fans came out.
This is a band whose brand of straight edge hardcore and incendiary live shows have seen them tour around the world because of word of mouth. On the strength of one video on YouTube, one Filipino fan ditched a birthday party of a close relative for the Odd Man Out show at Mow’s.
“I haven’t really been into Facebook,” explained vocalist Jeff Caffey. “I used it for a college project but I have not been on it since. But just for this Southeast Asian tour, we put up an Instagram account so the fans have get some information but that’s about it.” Odd Man Out’s brand of straight edge hardcore has '80s New York hardcore stamped all over it. There’s a militant feel to their music despite urging the listener to stick to one’s principles in the face of change today.
And this particular one has led them to Southeast Asia and the Philippines. “We’ve toured Mexico and Latin America many times. We’ve toured Canada and Europe but this is our first time in Asia. Since I was a little kid, it was on my bucket list to come out here. I have a musician friend who has been out here and he talked about the passion and energy of the fans. Experiencing it first hand, it is all that and more.
