Stationary Odyssey was an American alternative rock band from Evansville, Indiana, United States, composed of Aaron Tanner and Brett Siler. Their debut EP, Komondor, was named one of the top 15 Most Important Releases of 2004 in Japan (Duotone Records).[citation needed]

In December 2006, Stationary Odyssey released a free, downloadable EP that contained a remix by Kramer (Ween, Butthole Surfers).[1]

After touring with Frank Black in early 2007, Mike Farmer (aka Kentucky Prophet) supplied vocals on two Stationary Odyssey songs for a split EP with Child Bite (Suburban Sprawl Music).[2]

In early 2007, the band had features in both Verbicide magazine[citation needed] and Modern Fix.[3]

Tanner produced a Sonic Youth tribute album, Confuse Yr Idols (Narnack Records). The tribute debuted at No. 44 on the Canadian college charts (Chartattack) and No. 109 on the US college charts (CMJ).[citation needed] It featured a track from Stationary Odyssey as well as Elf Power, Yoshimi P-we of The Boredoms (Saicobab), and Steel Pole Bath Tub.[4][failed verification]
