That’s crazy haha!!! I don’t think I really knew about them until 2015 myself and it’s crazy how big they’ve gotten since then. Now I feel like most people I associate with at least know the name. Back in 2015 I was dying to meet just one more soul who knew who they were. They deserve everything they have gained without a doubt.

Wow, I've seen emancipator now in a couple small venue in Santa Barbara/Ventura. What a roll reversal

My girl and I first saw Odesza opening for Emancipator in 2014. We listened to a few of their songs on the way to the venue (iplayyoulisten had us looking forward to seeing them perform). Odesza had a plastic folding table with their equipment set up. I don’t even think they had a backdrop on the wall behind them. They might’ve just had a banner hung in front of the table. There was only about 100 people in the crowd but what struck me the most was at one point I looked around and they had every soul in there moving and grooving. It’s really amazing and cool to see how far they have come. As big as they’ve become, I still feel like they still relatively unknown outside of the “scene.” We were somewhat disappointed with the low turnout of the TLG experience (Northern Virginia) but super excited to see them again this September at Jiffy Lube.
