Odyssey

The Odyssey were a somewhat mysterious Los Angeles-based garage band, signed to the White Whale label, who cut a hot little piece of put-down punk gold in 1968 before disappearing. It's been rumored that the Odyssey were members of the Turtles working under a pseudonym, but there are others who believe them to be members of two other groups, the L.A.-based Just Too Much and the Looking Glasses, who came from L.A.'s suburbs. Their memorably defiant A-side, "Little Boy, Little Girl," has been compiled on Bacchus Archives' Fuzz, Flaykes, & Shakes Volume 1: 60 Miles High. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
