On a frigid Friday night, Jan. 2, Kirkland-based teen band Shotty turned up the heat at Oddfellow’s Grill, 7979 Leary Way NE in Redmond.

Oddfellow’s features live music seven nights a week and admits patrons of all ages until 11 p.m.

On this particular night, Shotty was going to play earlier, but due to a schedule change, didn’t begin their set until 10:30 p.m.

The band’s loyal fans, who call themselves “The Soldiers of Love,” had been lined up since 8 p.m. and were disappointed when they were told they had to exit the building just half an hour into Shotty’s performance.

But the dedicated fans braved the cold weather to stand outside of the restaurant and watch the rest of Shotty’s set through the window.

According to Shotty’s manager, Robin Fairbanks, “Shotty gave them their all for their loyalty. Throughout the night and in-between almost every song, a lone tween would call out, ‘Radar Love!’ Whatever happened to ‘Free Bird?’ Each time he called it out, it would elicit laughter … but apparently, persistence pays off, for right before the last song, that fan got his wish. Shotty then closed with a rousing, heartfelt cover of Santana’s ‘Soul Sacrifice’ that brought down the house.”

Fairbanks added that Shotty is working with Seattle producer Martin Feveyear of Jupiter Studios and will release singles in late February or early March.
