ODR Productions
Dave and Olly, 2009.
Hello. Hello.
How do you introduce yourselves? Olly Martin. O- Martz actually. Im just David usually, or the ‘D’ in ODR. I’m the ‘R’ in ODR. O-Martz. Martz. The ‘O’ stands for awesome. Awesome. Awesome Dave Martz.
Is that what ODR actually stands for? Only drowned rats. Ohhhhh dead rabbits. Like, because you’re gutted about the rabbits. It’s a mystery. Basically it doesn’t stand for anything, but it does stand for anything it could stand for. Because we’re serious and indie and stuff. Hikabaloser.
What’s your deal then? Basically its just a name for everything that we do, you know, for us to do it under that name, to get props for it. Basically to kind of build something, like we do live sound, hire out PA, manage bands etc… to manage bands etc. If you cant hear olly he’s saying to manage bands etc. Um. Um. We put out CDs you know, like a record company type thing. It’s so when people go ‘oh who did that’ and they say ODR and they go ‘oh and they also did this’ it starts to build this good snow ball. Yea snow ball.
So ORD is a snow ball? Yes. ODR is a snow ball of collective sounds. We are on the spot. Fuckin I tried.
So that’s your deal, you snow ball? Yea we snow ball. You know, we put on shows, we’re trying to snow ball. We try to be as helpful as possible I think. That’s what I try to do. Yea yea yea. Anything we can help with, we want to because we can. If people can’t do it they won’t do it. So if we can do it, it’s getting done. I don’t know if I’m making sense. What?
So where did the snow ball start? Ollyfest wasn’t it? Yea Ollyfest this year when I started doing it and I was like ‘Hey Dave’s in the room, Dave, help’ and from then it just worked. Luke’s there, ‘R’, Rockell, just so you know. Luke Rockell. That’s the ‘R’. Ohhh dead Rockell. L Rock.
Where’s the snow ball rolling? We’re trying to figure out, how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck it. When we get there we’re pretty much sussed. We’ve made it. Well we don’t know yet, we’ve got to meet a wood chuck first. We’re never going to stop. You know? I don’t mean that but you know? We don’t really have an end goal as such, because we just want to keep going more and more, always you know. Once we’ve achieved something, why not keep going. If we can eventually be bigger than Jesus then we’ll be happy aye. If we can be crucified for doing this, then good things will happen. As big as possible, how big was Michael Jackson? He wasn’t that big. Ok, um, who was big? El Ron Hubbard. We want to be as big as El Ron Hubbard. And his cereal put together. I want to be bigger. He wants to be bigger but he’s got to eat a lot of cereal to do that. If I pack some boxes under my shirt I’ll look bigger. What was the actual question? Yea sorry we’re being ridiculous.
You just answered it. If you could be anybody else, who would you be? I’d be Olly. I’d be busy. If I could be anybody else, I wouldn’t be anybody else, except El Ron Hubbard, because that’s my goal. So eventually I’d get overtaken by El Ron Hubbard and be the head of ODR, the ‘O’. So to sum it up, we do anything to help a brother out. To excel things, and we have no money. Yea give us money.
How does one go about requesting your services? If you know us, talk to us, if you don’t then email through an email or find someone who does know us. Jem knows us. ODR productions at gmail dot com. We’re getting business cards soon. So yea you can talk to me, or Luke Rockell, or David Stevens, or me, Olly Martin. You said you twice. Even if you just hoon down to Creative Sounds, the Stomach, there will be someone there who can help you out.
They always point people in the right direction. They certainly do, they are also very helpful. Yea. Palmy’s going to be bigger than Auckland and Wellington combined. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t be. In a musical sense. There’s so much stuff in Palmy and it’s weird that no one knows about it. It’s the perfect place, the lower North Island has got it covered. You just talk to bands and they say their favourite shows are at the Factory or the Fish House, or other places like that. Best crowd I’ve played to in New Zealand. Definitely. Palmerston North has a lot of potential, and ODR wants to help bring that out.
