So, our year of Sun Moon is coming to a close. Last year at this time, we were halfway through our Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the vinyl pressing of our new album. So much has happened since then, and thanks to the gracious donations of friends, family and fans, we launched into…
So many things are happening as Sun Moon makes its way into Autumn . . . First the big news: Sun Moon is on the ballot for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards! Mr. Allen Clapp (that’s me) is up for engineering the record, and Myles Boisen from Headless Buddha Mastering Lab is on the ballot…
The Orange Peels are so excited to be a part of the new KFOG Local Music Scene 10 benefit CD! We’ve been getting some nice drive-time airplay for our space-pop song Aether Tide, and we look forward to turning one of our upcoming gigs into a KFOG Happy Hour show. We’re also getting ready for…
As Art Garfunkel sings it, “July, she will fly, and give no warning to her flight.” We find this to be true. Having a little respite from our May and June shows, it’s been nice to spend a few weeks beginning to write new songs, traveling along the coast and getting ready for a busy…
Starting today, Orange Peels band leader Allen Clapp will be guest editor of Magnet Magazine for a week. That’s me!

Thank you to all our friends and fans for the best record-release shows we’ve ever had! The two shows at Cafe Du Nord last Friday were spectacular and it was so great to see you all there . . . our friends The Ocean Blue were amazing, as was deejay Rubberband Girl, spinning between sets.…
Wow! This has been the best record-release week EVER for The Orange Peels. Reviews have been coming in at a fast clip, and they’re all really, super supportive of Sun Moon. Waking up Thursday morning to see ourselves on the cover of the San Francisco Chronicle‘s 96Hours section was surreal and surprising, and the feature…
When Sun Moon goes on sale around the world officially next Tuesday, May 14, it will be available in all the usual places. It’s already up for pre-order on Amazon, iTunes and InSound, but did you know you can also get our new album at some seriously old-school department stores and big-box electronics marts? If you…
