   About Michelle Klaessens a.k.a Dragonorchid
..

I would like to Thank Andrew, Simon, Nick and Mark for playing various parts in these demos - without you I could not have done them.

You know how sometimes you feel like doing something really silly? Well putting these demos up here for people to listen to is probably one of those things. Writing Music is a very personal thing, some songs come out of complete make believe and fantasy, whilst others are born from real life emotional experiences. Try to guess which is which!


Michelle Klaessens runs "The Rock Factory Community" up in Auckland with her partner Mark Rawstron.

You can also get hold of the Rock Factory by going to their webpage by clicking on the picture of Percy the Truck, or you can go to The Rock Factory Myspace page

Michelle also plays keyboards and does backing vocals in the band AMPERZAHN (clicking here will take you to their myspace page) and clicking on the picture below will take you to their web page


Michelle also co-hosts a show called "The Rock Factory Musicians Helpline" on KIWI FM with Fleur Jack the IAN (Indy, Alternative and New) Host. This occurs every Wednesday Night at 7:30 PM.

Selon Recliner, The Orchid Door Album Release "Buffet & Show"

To celebrate the release of Their 2nd album “The Orchid Door”, Selon Recliner are sharpening their chopsticks & oiling the Lazy Susan for a Buffet & Show at the classic & infamous New Orient restaurant, where deep in the basement of the Strand Arcade time has stopped still. With a complimentary “Orchid Door” Cocktail on arrival, and the New Orient’s famous Buffet to arouse your appetite, DJ Jimmy Olsen and VJ Grafix will add extra seasoning and get the night spinning. As the tastes settle and ambience is absorbed the bamboo curtain will pull back on The Orchid Door as Selon Recliner take over the old parquet dance floor.

$35 "Buffet & Show"
$10 "Show Only" tickets (entry @ 8.30pm)

Door Sales Available

Reserve your Chopsticks Now... love to see you there!
