We're Back

Sketch by: Astrogirl

Man it feels good to know we aren't giving up, even when life events and time want to test us. We're back and back with strong legs to run with. Get excited for all to come this year. We miss you.

500 Songs for Kids 2012

This is the biggest music charity in Georgia history, but more importantly, 500 Songs For Kids is the signature fundraiser for Songs For Kids Foundation, which brings musicians year round to children's hospitals and special needs kids camps everywhere." When the musicians can't make it to the hospitals or camps all at once, we gather together for 10 nights at Smith's Ole Bar and perform 500 songs to raise money for the foundation ("Smith's 500 Songs for Kids")! We want to do our part and are excited to have the opportunity again to do so. :o) In 2010 we did "The Sign" - Ace of Base, in 2011 "Heartbeats" - The Knife, and this year we're performing "Tainted Love" - Soft Shell.

Another great entry for the Space & Airplanes album art from "Astrogirl"!

"World Meets Tree"

Artist: Karli Klar

"Astrogirl" meets Space

Oh the joys of time. One year later, and we are finally able to move forward with the work from our souls to see what we've been desiring, appear. Our bones are steady and our muscles are strong. Good things are happening and we are very lucky to have fans that are so patient, knowing it'll be worth the wait. :o) **Cheers** to our support, our fans.

With that said, here is a preview of art we've been receiving from a very talented artist. Karli Klar is being introduced to us as "Astrogirl". Our next album is titled "Space & Airplanes and she has been able to translate our words into actual detailed images. I'm right when I say, this girl has a very amazing future with her art. Talented lady.



Amazing work. More to come.

New Girl

How goes it?! Not only am I new girl because I am now a MARRIED WOMAN, but our song "What Is It With Me?" was placed in Episode #101 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/283234/new-girl-kryptonite) on the new Fox show 'New Girl'! How freakin awesome is that?! Adam and I are back in the lab attempting to speed things up because many events have held us back a few times from past imagined goal deadlines. Now that we got most of the time consuming events and stress out of the way, it's time to get things back on their feet and jogging for the new year :o).

This Thanksgiving and Christmas, remember what you already have and not what you want. Go ahead and day dream of what would be nice, but be thankful for your life and all the blessings in it. Stay tuned for more new and shiny things with The Orkids, and meanwhile, look and admire the shiny things already around you. <3

No Worries!

Hello fellow readers.

Thanks for sticking around and being patient with us. Let me just let you all know that bands, like ours, that aren't able to make a living with making and playing music, must find back up plans in able to stay on their feet. It is exactly what's delaying our progress with the new album right now. The second we finish mixing a song, we make a new one which adds the needed time to the release date. With school and work, we are trying as a band and musicians to get the new stuff completed for you guys, and for ourselves as well. Thanks for your patience, and keep sticking around for updates. We have some shows upcoming, so please come out and hear the new stuff.

October 8 - Pridefest / Peidmont Park / Atlanta, Georgia

October 15 - Trucktoberfest / LivingSocial / Red Brick Brewery / Atlanta, Georgia

October 17 - Smith's Olde Bar / Atlanta Room / Atlanta, Georgia
