As for current projects, keyboardist/vocalist Chuck Stern is now working solo under the name Stern. Drummer Dave Bodie has been working with Bill Brovold and Kayo Dot. He and guitarist/vocalist Eric Fitzgerald have a new project with original ToO drummer Keith Abrams. Bassist Jesse Krakow continues to work with Craig Wedren on his feature film/soundtrack "WAND," in addition to playing a few shows in the recently reunited Shudder To Think. He has just released his second solo album, "World Without Nachos," and will be doing a series of solo shows in support of it. He has recently recorded the second Fast 'n Bulbous: The Captain Beefheart Project album, to be released on Cuneiform Records, and will be touring to promote it. He has also been developing a project with vocalist Julee Cruise, along with Jamie Saft and Clifton Hyde, featuring his original compositions, and recently joined singer/songwriter Amy Miles' band. Jesse is writing his musical memoirs under the speculative title, "Rockboy," which he hopes to have completed later this year.
Footage of the last ToO show (November 24th, 2007 at The Stone) can be seen here.
Tied to a desk, people leaving for home while I remain buried and then in the mix comes on Ours Engendered. And I'm reminded again why this is (not was) one of my all time favorite bands. Much love guys.
How many years do you suppose I can continue commenting that Time of Orchids was one of the greatest projects ever before it becomes really embarrassing? What if I'm in a nursing home wearing threadbare ToO Tshirts? Is that bad? Cos it definitely seems a possibility.
I love your music but i think it's sometimes very hard to follow you (i mean... to "understand" the music! wow!!!..:-o) maybe... i will become crazy! :-/
Thanks for the add! Very interesting music indeed, i found out about you when researching about kayo dot. Greetings from Argentina! Nacho & Jheronimus Bosch
