Favourite Artists Track 422 - O.R.B - nominated by theDuke, Voting

[Spacepig]

Right so, one of the Duke's weird(ish) sorta pschedelichy stoner bands, all the way from Geelong, Australia next.
Wiki was of no use whatsoever in my quest for knowledge, so I had to revert to Bandcamp to discover that they have three albums, one ep and one single to choose from.
I have no idea how we will do for youtube links, use Bandcamp if need be.

Usual rule, voting noms close 10pm Sunday, or when I remember to check in, supply a link of some kind, and remember to come back and vote.

Crazy mental weekend coming up, kicking off tomorrow night with one Brassy knows, Crow Black Chicken. Hope you all have as mental a weekend as I am going to have.

[theDuke]

Ah...didn't factor in the lack of YT links, although I have found a few songson there, plus the whole albums. I wouldn't be surprised if the odd track slips in from the similarly named English band!

Just to clarify...you're looking for songs from either the EP - Womb, the single Migration, & the albums - 2016's Birth, 2017's Naturality, & last year's The Space Between.

Anyhoo..before i forget again..here's mine:

Val..as with most of my choices..he'll hate this, as he hates everything else! But at least he'll be consistant!

Just a little bit late this evening due to having to send junior and his lady-friend back home after a week of gigs and sight seeing, so happily, nothing too complicated to sort out.

The gold gong this week belongs to Collette, first one for a while I think, but her nom of General Electric just grabbed it at the finishing post. Half a silver each to the Duke and Spacepig for Electric Blanket and Immortal Tortoise, and a bronze for Tim with O.R.B.

Not a bad turnout for a relative unknown, not sure that any new fans have been picked up though?

[theDuke]

Well..i enjoyed it.....but i would wouldn't i! lol!

9 votes from 8 noms is not bad at all, thanks to all those who participated.

And congrations to Collette & Tim.

Electric Blanket, is still my favourite ORB track.

PS..btw, did anybody notice who the poster is of Electric Blanket, on YT? I did! :)

An early adopter!

[SussexWelsh]

I noticed too and I thought they were, on the whole, pretty good.

[theDuke]

I guess the band's sound, could be described as akin to Black Sabbath...there's quite a bit of their 'vibe' in ORB's music.

Sabbath fronted by Syd Barrett?
