Dark Orchid

Colorado US Dark Orchid Has Long Since Disbanded But Here Are A Couple Of Reviews From Our Time Together "Every Once In A While You Stumble Across A Band Like Dark Orchid In Some Random Club On Some Random Night. Their Style Is Familiar -- In This Case A Brooding Intense Goth-Rock Reminiscent Of Concrete Blonde -- But There's Something About Them That Clicks Within You Something That Makes You Feel As If They're Playing Music That Mirrors What's Running Through Your Own Head. You Know They'll Never Achieve Mass Market Success A Fact That Makes Them All The More Precious Because It Intensifies The Sensation Of Intimacy. You'll Drag Friends To See Them. Your Friends Will Indicate That The Band's Okay But That Won't Matter Because You Know This Music Is Made For You Not Anyone Else. Eventually The Band Will Break Up And Fade Into Oblivion. You However Will Keep Pulling Out Their Album With A Sense Of Pride In Having Found Something That Despite Its Lo-Fi Recording Is Undeniably Perfect. The Music Here Is Solidly Within The Bounds Of Things You've Heard Before Its Ability To Stick In Your Head Is As Much A Function Of What's In You As What's On The Record. This Personal Connection Made Kali Yuga An Enthralling Experience For Me I Will Continue To Dig It Out And Listen To It For Years To Come." - Ron Davies "Dark Orchid's Album Kali Yuga Is Truly The Anthem Of Youth Depression Brooding Intense Something To Listen To Alone In The Dark While Contemplating If Life Still Has Meaning. This Is Purely Dramatic Dark Emotive Rock For The 21st Century A Combination Of The Emo-Type Music Played On Popular Rock And Alternative Radio Stations And The Medieval-Influenced Gothic Sounds Of Your Local Renaissance Festival. Comprised Of Members Tonja Nolan Vocals And Bass Joshua Ogzewalla Guitar Taj Yelton Drums Backing Vocals And Kevin Nolan Guitar This Colorado-Based Quartet Has Acquired A Large Underground Cult-Like Following From Their Appearances At The Colorado Dark Arts Festival And OpusFest A Fantasy Arts Gathering Also Held In Colorado . And It's No Wonder Why With Their Sad Lyrics And Intense Uniquely Eclectic Instrumentation Their Fanbase Should Be Able To Spread Far Beyond The Rockies. The Most Amazing Thing About Dark Orchid Is The Synergy Of Their Instrumentation. This Is Truly A Band Who Can Play Together As Each Instrument Feeds Off Of The Other In A Dark Dramatic Harmony. The Guitars Swirl And Captivate The Bass Is Enchanting The Drumming Is Emotive." - Manda L Earp ..........Pimp Out Your Webpage With ..PimpWebpage....
