Greetings Programs,
We're back with the latest bits 'n bobs from La Casa de Orkids...or as we like to call it "Thunderdome". Tonight we take the stage at the fab 4o Watt for what is sure to be a killer show featuring The Less and Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun. Both are uber-cool bands from Atlanta that we can't wait to carouse with. Also tonight, for those of you in attendance, we will be debuting a brand new up-tempo jump song in our set. Though the new tune does not have an official name as of yet, the duration of time during the song's perfromance will be known as "Wagon Time". Draw from that what you will, just know that there will be heavy use of the pitch bend wheel happening!
In other news, The Orkids were recently featured as part of the BMI/99X Showcase in Atlanta on April the 1st. The show went very well and it was right then and there that we realized we all had superpowers, or for all you Smallville fans "abilities". I think the picture above proves that The Orkids are in fact meta-humans!
We were invited by the mighty 99x to stop by the night before the show for a performance and Q&A session. We were able to smuggle in my MicroKorg and Adam's acoustic for a stripped down "Paper Dolls". You can check out the performance and interview here (also as an added extra special bonus, we also weaved in some behind the scenes footage of the making of our "Paper Dolls" video which we will be premiering in the next month or so-stay tuned). Thanks to Shawn Williams for being ultra-groovy and for making us "meow"! BTW, the 99X studio and location is SICK! I'm just sayin'...
Next up, we head to Orlando, FL for the star-studded gala known as the Florida Music Festival or FMF if you're nasty! We will be performing Friday, April 23rd at 8:30pm on the BMI stage. Grab tickets here. This should be a very radical event with headlining acts like Less Than Jake and Rusted Root. If you are near Orlando (the city, not Sandra's brother-he's still in the UK due to volcanic ash and the end of the world), drop by and check us out-we can sip drinks that have little umbrellas in them.
After that we are back in Atlanta for the Amazing charity event 500 Songs for Kids. We will be peforming song #403 "The Sign" by Ace of Base on Friday, April 30th at 11:20pm. All proceeds go to the charity. Come out and support if you can and find out if Sandra sings with an accent or not! Hmmmm....
Anyhoo, that's all for now. Keep checking back for more updates, videos, media, and tissue samples. We keep adding them all the time. Laters...
End of line.
