Orbitmann is an all-original Hard Rock trio based in Austin, Texas. Not since Appetite For Destruction-era Guns 'n' Roses has there been such an honest, ballsy and musical display of reverence for rock's hallowed spirit. Adrian Bencomo (lead vocals, guitar), Upton Ethelbah (bass guitar, harmony vocals) and Pete Langhans (drums), take organic, grungy and strangely melodic "angst-folk" from its naturally acoustic habitat and lovingly place it into the lush realm of full-on, unapologetic, and driving guitar-rock heaven.
In its endeavor to keep genuine rock music alive in a morass of contrivance and mediocrity, Orbitmann draws from and pays tribute to the greatest bands the world has ever known. By coupling a profane disregard for the status quo with a steadfast respect for great songwriting and practiced musicianship, Orbitmann's alchemy delivers nothing short of pure gold. Other ingredients in this tantalizing sonic recipe (in addition to the requisite meat and potatoes) include a dash of Brit-pop, a pinch of grunge, and a smidgen of metal. The whole package is then tastefully garnished with a fresh sprig of prog and a knowing sprinkle of punk.
Suggestive of such timeless bands as Jane's Addiction, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, The Kinks, AC/DC, Alice in Chains, and U2, Orbitmann picks up, dusts off, and carries aloft the blazing torch of Rock n' Roll, injects it with magic fuel, and charges forth to illuminate uncharted musical territories.
Adrian, i saw the youtube video for sun and moon, great job! Wow, if that was Pete, he looks a lot different. Your hair is getting really long too. Have fun at your shows. I'll be there in spirit***
Had a great time Friday. You guys were great and I second Joe's comment "looking forward to seeing the full band." You're disc sounds great (glad I finally got a copy) Tony
Hey!! It was great playing with you guys on Friday! Can't wait to see you as a full band! Thanks for hanging with us this weekend...it was a ton of fun! Joe
Upster, as always, you rock man! Everything you've been involved with over the years has always been gold for me! Adrian, I got to see you live when I was in Austin for some training a couple years ago. You played a set, just you and a drummer, in between sets of the Aaron Hamre Band. Really dug what I heard then and surely dig the full band effect now! You guys are great! Peace, Joe
