Biography
"Open
your eyes and ears to the technical, trippy, and mind-numbingly unique
world of the Wild Orchid Children. Expect the unexpected and prepare to
divulge your senses into a feast of vivid visualizations and
experimental reverberations.Featuring current members of Kay Kay
and His Weathered Underground and former members of Gatsby's American
Dream and Forgive Durden, this Seattle-based band is comprised of core
members Kirk Huffman (vocals and percussion), Thomas Hunter (guitar),
Kyle O’Quin (keys), Andy Lum (drums), Aaron Benson (percussion and
effects), and Ryan Van Wierengen (baritone guitar and percussion).Wild
Orchid Children have collaborated not only for the music they make but
also for the lifestyle they lead. “It's a credo, a conviction, a
gathering where there are no rules except to look out for one another,”
Huffman explains. “Everyone is a wild orchid child or has a wild orchid
child inside them. It is a way of life, a belief system and an attitude.
You are a Wild Orchid Child. I am a Wild Orchid Child. We are The Wild
Orchid Children." Heading into The Tank Studio in Spring 2009
with Tom Pfaeffle, the band completed nearly half of the album before
taking a short break while members of Kay Kay and His Weathered
Underground hit the road on a five-week tour. Upon their arrival home
from the tour, the band learned of the devastating news that their dear
friend and producer, Pfaeffle, had been fatally wounded. After taking
time to heal and collect themselves, the band returned to the studio in
February 2010, with Pfaeffle’s sound engineers, determined to finish
recording. The album was later mixed by Chris Common [drummer, These
Arms Are Snakes] at The Red Room in Seattle, WA.Wild Orchid
Children will release their debut full-length album, The Wild Orchid
Children Are Alexander Supertramp, via Equal Vision Records on November
9th."http://www.facebook.com/wildorchidchildren?sk=info
