The OddEven

W**d learned at an early age that he was adopted. In June 2019, he decided to find out where he was from and thought Ancestry DNA might be a good place to start... but after 3 submissions of saliva and multiple test results that said "cannot get accurate DNA read", he gave up trying to figure out his human heritage. W**d came to grips with the fact that he might not be from planet Earth, so he decided it made perfect sense to join musical forces with E.T. (another alien), and the nucleus of The OddEven was formed. The band was rounded out with other seasoned touring musicians that summer including superstar Robb Wise on vocals. They quickly began writing new material while simultaneously booking opening slot road dates with well-known bands, Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, Soulfly, Last In Line (Dio) and Nonpoint in VA, GA, and LA respectively. The OddEven also played headlining shows in FL and MS and closed out 2019 with showcases in Philadelphia and NYC. 2020 was spent writing and recording music as shows were cancelled and postponed due to the pandemic. After going through 7 human drummers since the band's inception, The OddEven went back to the alien well, and found Kyle Powell to solidify the rhythm section in early 2021.

The OddEven’s music can be described as riff-oriented hard rock, with infectious vocals and harmony. The late 90s / early 00s came calling and the band answered the phone.

The first record, "Space Juice" arrived on Earth on 4.20.20. It spawned two singles "Again" and "Bleed for Something" which each cracked Billboard's Mainstream Rock top 30 and Foundations top 15 charts. In January 2021, the band started recording "Space Dust" and have a release date targeted for 6.15.21. Touring will commence whenever the world gets back to “normal”. Stay tuned!

"The best band I've heard in 22 years!" -- Jesse Kage, 98Rock, Tampa Bay Radio Legend

Lions After Dark has been described as “if Led Zeppelin and Dead Weather got together and had Gwen Stefani sit in on a couple sessions”.

A band born out of the sweltering, sweaty heat of Florida's West Coast, and their live shows reflect every bit of that intensity, urgency, and passion.

This five piece pulls from the raw, brash nature of blues, the “in-your-face-ness” of metal and some kind of gritty sass from the vocalist’s soul.

Maddie is a wild and explosive vocalist, a natural born entertainer and right at home on any stage.

Widely hailed as a rapidly up-and-coming talent, professional and seasoned veterans, Lions After Dark have shared stages and bills with Grouplove, Smash Mouth, Bastille, The 1975, Bad Suns, Kongos, Bright Light Social Hour, Pinback, Surfer Blood, Sir Sly, Black Taxi, Paper Tongues, Automatic Loveletter, JJ Grey & Mofro, and Manchester Orchestra, to name a few, and have played the St. Pete FL’s Whigfest and Tampa’s Tropical Heatwave and 97X Backyard BBQ music festivals.

They followed 2014, with a summer tour of the southeast in 2015 and the promote the release of their junior and most raw, relentless album yet: "LOUD".

Shortly after, they packed up and hiked to Nashville, TN in April 2016. They’ve been on a local show kick for the past year and some and are currently writing new material and plotting weekend tours and festivals for 2018.

A band of hungry, fiercely determined individuals, in the midst of a dramatically changing sound, big things lie on the horizon for Lions After Dark.
