NEW GIGS AND AN UPCOMING UK TOUR FOLLOWING LAUNCH PARTY MADNESS...
Mar 12th 2008, 00:55
Well, the launch party was a success; Orchid Trip have officially been launched. We may have been struggling at times with broken snare drums and dodgy PA equipment, but where there's a rockin' band, an electric atmosphere, a bouncing crowd and a the occasional drugged-up lunatic (well done that pink-haired man), there is surely a good time to be had by all.
Always keen to satisfy the local scene, Orchid Trip will be playing many shows in Brighton over the coming months, so don't forget to keep checking the GIGS section. The band will also be embarking on a UK tour in July, so far including dates in Leicester and Manchester. There will be more news about that as soon as there is some...
NEW NEWS, NEW SITE, NEW ALBUM, NEW GIGS, NEW STUFF & PLENTY OF THINGS...

Okay.. so I accept that this site has not been updated for several millennia, but my word, what an eventful year it has been! It was round about this time last year that we were packing our thermals and preparing for an ice-cold visit to Chicago to work with Steve Albini on our NEW ALBUM. Finally.. FINALLY that album is complete. Those of you that want one, just get in touch with me at shop@orchidtrip.com and I’m sure something can be arranged. OR... you could wait til our launch party - The Albert, Brighton, 8th March - to get your hands on all kinds of goodies, plus witness us play the album live from start to finish...
So, you may have noticed the site looks a bit different. Good, innit? It will be updated with all our goings on in future, so do keep checking back, or visit our new look myspace page at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ORCHIDTRIP. We have a whole host of new pictures, music, merchandise and other thingies.
Don’t forget to check out our gigs section - we will be touring the new album extensively around Brighton, London and other parts of the UK - all of which will be detailed there. We are also just about to undertake more tours of Eastern Europe. Again, this is all detailed in the gigs section.
We’ve also finally got out mailing list working, so why not stick your name down? We promise not to send you anything that is of no interest.
So, please enjoy the new interactive Orchid Trip experience, and may we wish you happy browsing...
