The Oddfellows are an indie band that was formed by Patrick Chng (vocals, guitars, keyboards) and Casey Soo (drums) in late 1987 in Singapore. The two were avid readers of BigO fanzine and got to know each other through ads selling records in the ‘zine. Patrick had a band for a very brief period that dissolved in mid 1987. Patrick and Casey shared a common love for bands such as REMThe ReplacementsPixiesSonic YouthBuzzcocksU2 and Ramones amongst others. They decided to name the band from the REM song “Oddfellows Local 151”. T
