The story

Founded in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, in 2008, Oddball Soup rose out of an unlikely collaboration between four quirky, vibrant musicians, each with their own unique musical influences and talents. The band comprising of lead vocalist and bassist Sam 'Squid' Quinlan, guitarist and keys player Oliver 'Octave' Larkin, drummer and percussionist Jade 'Jingle' Riley, and trumpeter & background vocalist Fred 'Funky' Gibson. Originally, the bandmates crossed paths when they all separately answered a classified ad for a smoothie maker at local health food store. They got along famously, discovering they shared a love for music and mango smoothies. This led to them creating Oddball Soup, a fusion of their individuality and a reflection of their collective eccentricities.

Kaleidoscope Carousel

Verse 1
Amaj7       Dmaj7
Roller coaster, daytime ghoster,
Gmaj7      Emaj7
meeting you feels like a blast.
Amaj7       Dmaj7
Moonbeam strider, stardust glider,
Gmaj7      Emaj7
can't believe we're moving so fast.

Chorus
Fmaj7        Cmaj7
Kaleidoscope Carousel,
Bbmaj7     Amaj7
in your colors, I fell.
Fmaj7        Cmaj7
Twisting, turning, learning to dwell,
Bbmaj7     Amaj7
in this Kaleidoscope Carousel.

Verse 2
Amaj7       Dmaj7
Shimmering dreams, bursting at seams,
Gmaj7      Emaj7
riding high on this cosmic ride.
Amaj7       Dmaj7
Streaks of blue, hints of hue,
Gmaj7      Emaj7
in your light, I confide.

Chorus
Fmaj7        Cmaj7
Kaleidoscope Carousel,
Bbmaj7     Amaj7
in your colors, I fell.
Fmaj7        Cmaj7
Revolve, evolve, in your spell,
Bbmaj7     Amaj7
on this Kaleidoscope Carousel.

Outro
Dmaj7        Gmaj7
Here we spin, in love we'll swim,
Amaj7       Emaj7
on our Kaleidoscope Carousel, till the end.

Biggest fan

Meet Lily, a vivacious, music-loving teenager from Manhattan. Lily first heard Oddball Soup when she was browsing through her brother's music collection, and she fell in love with the band's unique sound. She says, "Oddball Soup is my favorite because they aren't afraid to be themselves. Their music is like a journey, every song has its own world. They mix genres in a way that feels new and exciting. Plus, their live performances are filled with so much energy and fun, you can't help but dance. They are definitely a band for misfits and dreamers, like me!"
