We did it! Our first tour was a wonderful experience and a much appreciated opportunity to explore other parts of the country. We played shows in; Berkeley, Oakland, Portland, Olympia, Seattle and more.... We also had the opportunity to promote the online distro we are a part of called Only For the Open-Minded and had a table at Zine Fest in San Francisco!

There are some really amazing, unique venues on the west coast that we would be happy to share with you. We know what it's like to book a tour on your own and it's definitely helpful if someone can point you in the right direction! We'd also like to thank the amazing people at Eugene's college radio station, KMWVA 88.1, and Hollow Earth Radio, who invited us on the air to talk and play some tunes.

SO BUMMED. Unfortunately, due to circumstances truly beyond our magick, the tour kickoff scheduled for tomorrow (August 7th) has been canceled. The owners of MALO are making a surprise visit in town and have decide to stay at the Funhouse for the weekend.

We were ridiculously excited to play with Tan Dollar from Irvine, our good friends The Guppies, and recent LA RECORD praised Michael Nhat, as well spend time with all of our friends before we head up north. The good news is that THE SHOW WILL BE RESCHEDULED, at MALO, most likely in the first weekend of September.

Check back with us for updates on the rescheduled date of the show. Well....only a couple of days to go and we will be off on our first tour! It's sure to be an adventure. See you in a couple of weeks!

So, we are pretty much done with all the recordings for the cassette tape we are doing for our northwest tour. we are so excited about it despite the fact that we still have some open dates we are trying to work out. we are trying to finalize the shows this week so we don't have to stress about it but its been a real challenge especially when some people don't know what to make of us. so, if you want to help out in filling up some of the dates especially PORTLAND, please do so and we would very much appreciate it. anyways, the new cassette album is called "HEXXES" and it has 11 songs, 2 of which is determined to challenge yr attention span or lack of it (again!) And it comes with free stickers! we will only have limited copies of it available.

Here is the tracklist:

SIDE A:
mind over matters (sunandspace)
bright evil goodness
far away look
vegan vampyrs
fak dat nu aidj shet!

SIDE B:
ghost of a dead medium
forbidden games
what grows in yr garden
seasick version dub
passionista (brenmar remix)
abort-retry-fail

You should be able to get it at our shows or if you want order it either through our page or the OPEN MIND DEAD Distro that we just recently had going. We are also finishing recordings we are doing with Piry and hopefully have copies of it on CD to give away on tour. Anyways, we will be playing at the Tribal Cafe tonight for Lots O Crap and the other acts will be Blue Tape Red Tape, Mixed Up Mess, and Luna Is Honey. We have been experimenting with our set-up (again!) since we played last Saturday at Betalevel with howardAMB and Bobb Bruno. Rhea will now be playing another SPD-S pad along with her Microkorg. You should come and see what soundz we can make with these babies. Anyways, next Saturday, we will be playing at The Hive Gallery in Downtown LA with the Halloween Swim Team and some other bands. Hopefully, we get to see you or you get to see us. Either way one of us gets to see the other. Yes! You! YOU EXIST!

we have copies of the most recent recordings we have done with josh crampton of luna is honey who has been playing sweet amazing sax in the past few shows we've played. we have it available at our shows usually for five bucks donation (...if you have the dough!) to fund our upcoming northwest tour, or for free (...if you are nice and broke). it is called "THE EAST SHALL SHAKE THE WEST AWAKE". and we only made limited 100 copies. also rhea made the cover so its a rare one just for that reason alone!

pharoahs den is really cool place to play in riverside and we totally dig that they have a big sun ra mural and other info about him on the wall. i would say it was a pretty cosmic experience playing there though we weren't  at our best form last night, we met a lot of really cool people doing cool shit and played with some of our badass friends from LA.

Haun! Work your progress! Hold to! Now! Win out, ye divil ye!
The silent cock shall crow at ]ast. The west shall shake the east
awake. Walk while ye have the night for morn,
-James Joyce
"Finnegan's Wake"

So, we decided to play DJ and share with you music that is on the roll in our players. Enjoy!

NO, CLICK HERE INSTEAD!

FORGET ALL THAT, THIS IS THE ONE TO CLICK!

Tomorrow night we will be performing at the Echo Curio but not as Magick Orchids. We will be performing in the new freaknoise group called The Regular Assholes which also involves Dylan Doren, Michael Nhat. Lee Noble, Andrew Felix, the guys and gals from Kid Infinity, Megawand, Blue Tape Red Tape, and Cobalt Cranes. This is actually our second time to perform. (the first one was at the Mountain Bar in Chinatown.) Anyways, this will be badass especially since on the same bill will be XDUGEF, Basidiomycete, and the badass motherfuckers of, The Disappearance of Planet Dwarf Pluto.

Also, tonite we will be playing at midnight at 2BAD on Temple with belly dancers, visuals?, booze and a midnight sale at 2BAD Vintage. Its on Temple and Glendale right beside Tribal Cafe. If you plan on going, bring a flashlight!
