Artist Spotlight - Orchid Orchestra

Hey Music Fans! Are you ready to be introduced to some of the amazing local talent we have here, and to be reacquainted with some of your favourites? We have such an incredible music scene here in the GVA, and there are so many amazing artists just waiting for you to check them out.

The darkest of the days of winter are finally coming to a close, and with it come the eventual sprouts and blooms of spring, and the warmer days that accompany them. We'll begin to see the start of the festival and event season, and are excited to see what this year holds for our next spotlighted artist. 

Check out today's spotlight: 

Orchid Orchestra

Here's what they had to say... 

♪ ♫ ♪

        Q: For those who don’t know you, can you please introduce yourself and describe your sound?

We are Orchid Orchestra, a 4-piece indie pop band from here in Vancouver. We are known for infusing musical theatre, hip-hop, and choral music into our joyful, vulnerable music. When playing live, we often integrate theatrical elements such as skits or a live choir, and seem to create quite an emotional atmosphere for the audiences. The four of us met at Chorus Studio, a local choir studio, and have beautifully unique backgrounds, and we aim to create the most wholesome, loving environment to create and share our music.

        Q: What’s one of the biggest successes you’ve had as a musician?

Oo, we've had a lot of very sweet things happen to us since we formed, but one of our favourites was being featured in the Vancouver Sun. It was a massive spread, and such a beautiful writeup. We feel so grateful to have been featured in that way.

        Q: What’s your favourite venue to play?

The Biltmore!

        Q: What do you think was the best Medium for music to be on? (Vinyl, Tape, CD, Digital)?

I mean, if I had the money I'd buy some lovely speakers, a record player, and a bunch of vinyls, but being a graduate student as well means I have to keep things cheap, so I'm happy with digital.

        Q: Who is your favourite local band to see perform around town?

Uncle Strut!

        Q: What’s coming up next for your music?



We want to record our first album this year, as well as embark on a tour around parts of Canada that we've never been. Along with this, we have a music video for our single Gold coming out sometime in the first half of the year. :)

Show Review - Put THAT In The Bible!

Support the Scene had the opportunity to send one of our incredibly talented photographers to see Bible Girl, Doom Loops, and Kites on Mars on November 8th, at Lana Lou's. Here's what Jade Weekes had to say about the incredible performance that these bands put on.  ♪ ♫ ♪ Bible Girl had their first show at Lana Lou's last night. Their sound was a great mix of indie rock with a touch of shoegaze. Since it was their first show, it was expected to have a couple of flubs but they carried on like the seasoned musicians they are. Many dynamic changes made their set full of unexpected energy bursts, amidst their more low-key overall sound. Keep an eye out for their upcoming single!  ♪ ♫ ♪   Doom Loops brought some tasty piano licks, soaring synths, and catchy vocals; and that was only from ONE of their members! The whole band really had tunes that were full of quirky lyrics and bass lines that made your feet just move on their own. They had great harmonies and really used ...
