New Band Alert: Wild Orchid Children

posted by on August 20 at 15:08 PM

Some of the dudes from Gatsby’s American Dream, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, and the Divorce have joined forces and formed the latest Seattle Supergroup called Wild Orchid Children.

The band—Kirk Huffman, Kyle O’Quin, Thomas Hunter, and Garrett Lunceford—is so new that there’s only one song available on their vague MySpace, but I tracked ‘em down to try to get a little more information… didn’t work out that well.

How did Wild Orchid Children start?
it all began on a pilgrimage to the mountains of black diamond along lake sawyer. with the earth’s fungus in our blood we began the simple art of making vibrations. these vibrations transformed to notes, making music which rang the innards of our bodies and souls at such perfect pitches that our synapses began to receive messages and revelations. the secrets to the eternal universe.
we did not expect this calling, we only accept this calling.
to be the porters of musical salvation, to rid this planet of fear and align the bio-sphere with the neo-sphere.
for ahead of us, dear brothers and sisters, is the secret…

Any plans for a record?
we’ll be releasing a 4 song 10” on bombs over bellevue [Huffman’s label] and will hopefully be giving sermons soon.

As for how they sound, well, you have one song to check out to decide for yourself. All the band would offer up is that it “sounds like: if adrock jammed with the band of gypsies while tripping on peyote in a new mexican desert.”

Ha!

Keep your eye on them. Everything Huffman touches these days turns to gold. Or ends up on Carson Daly.

Mark Gajadhar (drummer for The Blood Brothers) is also in this band. At least, that's what the Myspace page says. Can't get enough of this song though.

Mark Gajadhar is not in W.O.C., and nowhere does it say otherwise on their myspace. Moreover, this band is amazing.
