June 23rd, 2007

Thanks to all for coming out to Emergenza on the 16th of June. We had a great time playing for everyone and we hope to see all of our fans at future shows. Congratulations to Hunter from Side Affects for taking best bassist. You guys rocked. Right now, our engineer Biz is mixing our EP titled "A Chosen Path", and it is the best sound that we have ever had. The drums sound epic, the guitar and bass tones incredible, and vocals are top notch. We are very proud of this recording and cannot wait to share it with the rest of the world. It has everything that fans should expect from us. Its heavy, soft, and everything in between. We cannot express enough our gratitude for our fans, and we hope that within the next few months, everyone will be able to enjoy this mini-masterpiece. Once again, look for us on tour and look on Myspace or Crimsonorchidband.com for any updates. Peace and Metal.

So keep checking back for updates, you never know whats coming up next....

December 2nd, 2005

So, we had a quick November. We a good bundle of shows, most of which went very well. The show at Brewnettes in December has been cancelled due to an unfortunate and unexpected closing. In this case we're taking a short break for shows to prepare for February. For those who don't know, we are particpating in the Emergenza Festival this year. The first show is at Fletchers on February 9th. We go at 10:00. We want every motherfucker we know at this show with full support for Crimson Orchid. We want to go as far as this oppurtunity to take us and at this point, its up to you. Come support us, bring your friends, bring your family, bring your lovers, bring your next door neighbor, bring your boss. Raise one hand for Crimson Orchid. We couldn't keep rockin the stage if it wasn't for those who support us and this is one of the best chances you to have to help out. The release of our new album is coming closer and closer everyday. No set date as of now but it's finally beginning to get back on track. Soon to come as well are T-shirts, stickers, and more demos. Keep an eye out or check back for updates. The days are closing in!

October 31st, 2005

Happy Halloween from Crimson Orchid!! The AA Hallows Eve show was amazing. We played our most theatrical performance yet and had an awesome reaction from the crowd. Thanks to everyone who supported us and came out and rocked the fuck out. Special thanks to Alex for asking us back, you put on an incredible show. We had a few technical difficulties, played a song of ours without any guitar or bass, only drums and singing, but the show must go on. Rumors of someone pulling a plug on us, in which if so, they will sooner or later regret and alot rumors of us blowing a circuit. We must have rocked that fucking hard. And a newfound friend of ours Pattern 13 rocks just as hard. The Hatchets Eve show also went very well. Thanks Mandah!!!!!!! This weekend has been exhausting but we loved every second of it. We have another show coming up this Saturday and I want to see just as many people who were there for us on Saturday, there with us at Brewnettes. Much love to you all and have a SUPER Halloween!

October 10th, 2005

For anyone with curiousity about our upcoming shows heres some news for you. Jason has recently gotten surgery done to his wrist and will not be onstage with us until the end of this year. Although he will be with us at every show. A warning to all...right now I've done fucked up with the pictures section so I recommend not clicking on it. I'm still getting used to this whole...HTML thing. haha...We have yet another show at the wonderful Brewnettes in December and another show coming up next year that we will need everyones support on. Details on that will coming as days pass. Goodnight and once again...dont click on the pictures section until I give an Okay.

September 23rd, 2005

So heres an update...we've been booked at Brewnettes again. Its a Juggalo show put together by Mandah, look at the Tour section for details. For those of you who don't know, shortly after Ryan found a house, Jacob did as well. We ordered buttons. Email us if you want some. We have a new song off of Nightmares & Fairytales on our myspace account. Check it out if you think you're ready. PEACE.

September 1st, 2005

To anyone who missed the show at Brewnettes, sorry. Thank you Eryn for putting the show on and thank you to anyone who attended. I just put up some new shows on the tour section. We've been added to Fearfest 2005, AA Hallows Eve 2005, and a couple of others, so check it out and keep a mental note to come out to one. Congratulations to Ryan who has found a place to call home. As for now, thats all the news I have to offer.

August 26th, 2005

We have a show THIS coming Sunday, just announcing it to anyone who has not yet heard. It is at Brewnettes and doors open at 6. But in the mean time, I'll explain that I have no eligable reason why I haven't gotten around to making the bios and putting up the pictures. It's just a long tedious process that I am working on slowly. If anyone is actually upset about my laziness or just can't wait to see all the cool looking Crimson Orchid pictures then let me know and I'll speed up abit. But if no one cares, I'll take my time. It's up to you. Anyways, as of now Nightmares & Fairytales is completely recorded, mixed, and soon to be mastered. Now we're just going through ideas of artwork for the album. Either way, after the album is mastered, there will be a demo hitting the streets, so everyone will hear it soon enough. If you can't wait for the demo, just come to Brewnettes this Sunday night. Yeah, its that easy.

August 15th, 2005

Well well well! I probably shouldn't have all this shit up just yet. This site is under some serious constrution, nothin is up yet. All I ask for is your patience and if you could, any pictures of anything to do with the band would be nice. Just send them to crimsonorchidband@yahoo.com. In the meantime...keep yourself busy, sign the guestbook. Be safe and goodnight.
