Nowadays, Michael is busy recording his next couple of albums. Talk about being prolific as fuck!

magick orchids in NYC

So we played a show at NYC at the Yippie Cafe where we met the Pieman.
It was a fun show coz we played it with our good friends from LA, Manhattan Murder Mystery and champ played electronic drums for them too. Eric from Kill Kill Kill who was also in town played guitars for the magick orchids set too..its been great going around the city and exploring on our own. Hanged out with Katya of MMM/THC the other night and saw Excepter at the Silent Barn and the australian dude that plays with glass and that was lots of fun.

THE NIGHT BEFORE NYC

Tonight will be our last show in LA before we head out to NYC!

Its gonna be a hip-hop show so there be a lot of beats and rhymes.

We will be playing last around midnight and MC's will be freestylin' to our tunes.

Come check it out at the Echo Curio!
