Jet
Odrerir
will
make
his final appearance with 2
Shots and a Chaser
this
Saturday.
Jet
and his wife Melanie
Brew
have been key
members
of the
expat music scene in Phnom Penh for
several years – ever since
there was
even a
'music scene'
of
which to speak.
Jet
has been the lead singer
and founder of several
bands
(so
many it must be hard for even Jet to list them all) including
Betty
Ford and the GT Falcons, Bum
N Draze,
Station
to Station,
Muscle
of Love and,
most recently, Psychesonica.
This musical chameleon is one of the most warm-hearted
and humble guys you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. His
bands are focussed on having fun with music and doing something cool
and different.
As I head off for parts yet unhired it seems apropos that I’ll be playing my last show howlin’ out old rockabilly songs at Sharky’s. The first song I ever played in Cambodia was “TV Set” by The Cramps with the house band at JJs nightclub in Kampot back in 2001. They ended up shooting a bunch of scenes from ‘City of Ghosts’ there a couple weeks after that, I just missed being an extra... and I will miss being an extra in the music scene that’s developed in the Kingdom since then, I’ll most likely pop in now and again as people seem to have trouble keeping away for too long. - JET ODRERIR
Catch
2 Shots and a
Chaser
for the last time on Saturday night at Sharky's when Jet will reprise
his set of rockabilly and 1960's rock'n'roll driven by acoustic
guitar, saxophone and drums. The band are also at 3Mangos
Guesthouse
on Friday and you can sit in on Jet's weekly
Electric Eclectic Limelight Jukebox Jam
open
mic night on Thursday at Paddy
Rice.
Leng
Pleng
wishes Jet kind
regards and all the best for his imminent
return to the USA.

Another
emotionally charged night in store on Friday at Equinox
as The Fumes
play their last gig with lead singer-guitarist
Karin Schelzig
before
she jets off to new pastures. See this recent wrap for a picture and
quote from the band.

In
parting, here's a video showing the on-stage energy of our departing
friend, Mr Jet Odrerir and his band 2
Shots and a Chaser
in action last year at Equinox.
