Bio
ORSINO NATION are genre-mashing rebels on a sonic journey toward transcendence. Psychedelic synths, piano and guitar-driven soundscapes, vocal harmonies, earthy drums & unique, image-laden lyrics make for experimental and atmospheric music that will lift you beyond everyday existence.
Avant-garde rockers ORSINO NATION's influences are highly eclectic & their music genre-jumps even within a single song; from 4-part harmonies on the piano to thrash guitars, flamenco rhythms to deranged-carnival music, acoustic folk to trip-hop to straight-up rock. The songs give voice to wild creatures who have clawed their way from a belladonna dream.
Dramatic and fey, frontwoman Yasmine Amber is every bit the rockstar with passionate vocals, decadent costumes & inspired outbursts of flamenco dance. Charger is a classically-trained virtuoso pianist with a Viking sensibility. The combination means avant-garde music with a distinctive Orsino Nation style.
Hop on this magic carpet & take the ORSINO NATION trip.

Bio
ORSINO NATION are art music rebels on a sonic journey toward transcendence. If Tori Amos & Dave Gilmore had an ADHD lovechild and you gave that child a distortion pedal it would grow up to be Orsino Nation. Piano and guitar-driven soundscapes, primal vocals, ethereal harmonies, string sections, earthy drums & image-laden lyrics make for atmospheric music that will shift you sideways into another reality. The duo's influences are highly eclectic & their music genre-jumps even within a single track. Dramatic and fey, frontwoman Yasmine Amber is every bit the rockstar with passionate vocals, decadent costumes & inspired outbursts of flamenco dance. Charger is a classically-trained virtuoso pianist with a Viking sensibility. The combination makes for an avant-garde symphony. Lie back and let their songs invade you, like wild creatures clawing their way from belladonna dreams. Debut EP 'Picnic On A Whale available now at http://www.orsinonation.com What they're saying about ORSINO NATION: 'Well you got me hooked and I had to listen to all your stuff. I am a big fan of Sleepy Time Gorilla so I love adventures in musick' - Jack Douglas, producer (John Lennon, Aerosmith, New York Dolls) 'a great deal of talent and a lot of actual art ' 'atmospheric and impressionistic, like vignettes painted on cigar box lids, songs to be listened to and felt' "a quality act...insisting on their creative voice" - The Advertiser all music & lyrics �2008-2010 Orsino Nation CARMEN photos �2009 Paul Hilton Eirawen photos �2009 Adrian van Nunen live shots & Dance with Pan photos �2009 Sammie Lennon Photography live 'Museo del Grito' & 'CARMEN' shots �2007-2010 Matt Walker Photography all art �2007-2010 Yasmine Amber -

We're back in Australia and coming to (R)Adelaide!!!
Yep, we've been off living in Germany and touring around Europe for the last year and while we were there we recorded a new album in Berlin called "All Becompassed By Stars"... which we're now launching in Australia.
The first Australian launch is with our good friends Brillig at the Wheatsheaf next Saturday Sep 4... and it's free! Hope to see you then!
cheers,
N&N
ps: of course we'll have a copies of the new album on sale, along with t-shirts and previous CDs too
That's us, hiding in the bushes, waiting for you to stumble by in the dark...that's us, at the back of the bus, smoking and reading girlie mags...that's us, spreading rumours 'bout your shady past and that's us, tearing the stage apart at the Crown & Anchor with the illustrious Don Fernando fresh from Hellburn Victoria and the half a brick in a sock that is Desert Crooks!!
Bad Blood & Broken Bones, motherfuckers. August 20th, the... date, Crown & Anchor, the place.
NEW SHOWS POSTED UP NOW!!!!!!!
