The Orange Peels Is it easy making beautiful music in a world in love with all that is crass? No. Are we going to do it anyway? Yes. The Orange Peels info@theorangepeels.com The Orange Peels Four-track demos and rough sketches from the Orange Peels debut album. Square Home Demos. This is how our debut record would have sounded if we hadn't signed with Minty Fresh. During our transition from Allen Clapp and his Orchestra into the Orange Peels, Allen Clapp (vocals, guitar), Larry Winther (drums) and Jilll Pries (bass) recorded an almost-complete version of Square on a four-track cassette recorder. Performed with reckless abandon. Recorded with questionable fidelity. No narration. Includes full demos of: She is Like a Rose, On the Way to Somewhere, I Don't Mind the Rain, Everybody's Gone, All the World Could Pass Me By, and Take Me Over. Also includes a partial demo of Spaghetti-O Western and a live, on-air performance on KFJC of a mid-60s Charlatans song, No. 1, which we were going to cover on the album but didn't. http://www.theorangepeels.com/op.podcast3.mp3 Tues, 25 Apr 2006 12:09:00 PST 22:13 california, pop, indie, indiepop, dreampop, west, coast, sunshine, rock, twee, allen, clapp, oed, ronne, jill, pries, larry, winther, bob, vickers, john, moremen, minty, fresh, spinart, parasol, bus, stop The Orange Peels Behind the scenes on the road to the band's third album, Circling the Sun.
