More on the shows:
THE ORPHANS will be playing three reunion shows in late January 2008 for no other good reason than the four original members (and old friends) are itchin' to play loud fast punk rock music once again. Many of you know The Orphans as the band that preceded Mischief Brew... active mostly from 1995-1998. We've never officially "broke up," just stopped playing.
The last time we played together was a five day tour in October 2004 to celebrate the release of "Raise the Youth," a 21-track collection of everything good that we had recorded as a band. It was intended as the last batch of Orphans shows... but looking back, we played "Government Stole My Germs CD" a little too slow as our last song at the last show. Call it unfinished business (Subhumans shout-out/pun intended).
Every time we got together to play again it had some sort of bigger purpose. Once because we thought we would write songs again, another because our CD was released. This time, expect nothing other than pure punk energy and mayhem just for the fuck of it. Expect all the old songs. Expect a damn good time!

PS - These shows, particularly the Death By Audio and Planet Mollie ones, are completely DIY events which actually make you, YES YOU, responsible for your own actions. Whoa! Basically, respect the venues and the neighbors, be smart about victuals... so that events can continue at these spaces. Thanks!
