FAME, THE MEDIA AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

FIRST AND FOREMOST "ORPHAN" IS NOT CONCERNED WITH FAME, MONEY, GLAMOUR AND THE MEDIA....WE ARE MUSICIANS PURELY BECAUSE OUR LIVES CALLED FOR IT.....THERE IS NO PLASTICITY WHEN IT COMES TO US. WE ARE LIFE, REALITY....AND ALL THAT IS BLOOD, THE STREETS AND WHAT PURELY IS MEANT TO BE. WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING THE MUSIC WE ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH THE CURRENT TOP 40 HITS THAT THE RADIO RELENTLESSLY  PLAYS....WE LET THE MUSIC, WRITE ITSELF, NOT CONCERNED ON STRUCTURE,OR WETHER IT WILL APPEAL TO PEOPLE OR NOT....OR IF  IT WILL OFFEND ANY ONE. WE RIDE IT WITH TRULLY NO CONCERN....WE CREATE SOULY AS ARTIST AND NOTHING MORE, SWIMMING WITHIN THE REALMS OF ALL PAST ROCK AND ROLL THAT HAS CHANGED AND HELPED OUR LIVES...THAT OF WHICH HAS HELPED US COPE THROUGH HARD TIMES AND THROUGH BITTER SWEET MOMENTS. WE ARE ALSO NOT CONCERNED WITH GOOD OR BAD COMPLIMENTS, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL YOU YOUR MUSIC ISNT WORTH IT. IF YOU FEEL YOUVE PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE FRONT LINE THEN RUN WITH IT BECAUSE THAT ALONE IS WHAT MAKES GREAT MUSIC GREAT!!!!!!! TO ALL WHO READ "KEEP IT TRUE"(HONESTY IS KEY), "KEEP IT SIMPLE" (INFLUENCE THOSE WHO CANNOT PLAY) AND "KEEP IT ALIVE" (SOMEONE HAS TO)....CREATE YOUR OWN WORLD AND LIVE YOUR LIFE D.I.Y.....NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE, NOR YOUR ARTISTIC ABILITIES.

BORIS STORIES!!! (CONTINUED)

HAHAHA SO I WAS SITTING AT THE BUS STOP ONE HOTT FUCKED SUMMER DAY... I WAS LISTENING TO SOME TUNES ON MY HEADSET, WHEN SUDDENLY THIS HAND ENTERS BENEITH MY EYES AND HANDS ME SOME SORT OF MAGAZINE CLIPPING THAT READS "VAMPYRE"... CURRIOUSLY I RAISE MY HEAD TO SEE THIS HUGE BEAST OF A MAN, WITH LONG STRAGGLEY HAIR, WEARING A RED VELVET JACKET AND A GET UP THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS STOLEN FROM THE SET OF "INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE". SO I SAID WHATS UP... HE GRINNED AND BARED HIS BEASTLY FANGS WITH YET A GENEROUS AND INVITING GRIN. WE GOT ACQUINTED ON THE BUS... HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO GET HIS "MEDS"... YEAH, HIS SHRINK HAD HIM POPPIN ANTI DEPRESSENTS LIKE PEZZ. I KNEW FROM THAT MOMENT... WE'D MET OUR THIRD LEG... BORIS... THE BEAST.
LUV N' LOATH,
GG

"WHERES ACE?!?!?!" WAS A SACRED GAME FOR BORIS, FOR HE HAS A YOUNG SON NAMED ACE IN WHICH TO SHARE IT WITH... HE LOVED THAT CHILD DREADFULLY SO... THE SORROW WOULD SHOW ON HIS FACE WHEN HE WAS'NT ABLE TO MAKE THE GREAT DISTANCE TO VISIT HIS SON ONCE A MONTH. IT PLAGUED HIS MIND HOW HE COULD LOVE SOME ONE SO PROFUSELY, YET BE SO FAR AWAY FROM HIS LOVE, HIS SON... IN THE FLESH. HE ALWAYS HAD STORIES TO TELL ABOUT ACE, AND WOULD ALWAYS BELCH OUT IN A DEEP RUMBLING VOICE... "WHERES ACE??!!"
THE LOVE FOR HIS SON WAS SO PROFOUND THAT HE CARRIED WITH HIM A TOY DOLL THAT RESEMBLED HIS SON... AND HE WOULD PLAY WITH IT AND KEEP IT IN HIS SHIRT POCKET SO THAT HE COULD SEE THE WORLD AND EXPERIENCE LIFE AS FATHER AND SON. BORIS... THE BEAST HAD BORE A REASON TO LIVE... AND AS LONG AS HE LIVES HE CAN BE HEARD BELLOWING OUT A CALL OF A LONESOME FATHER... "WHERES ACE?!?!"
LUV N' LOATH,
GG

WHEN I FIRST MET BORIS BACK IN 2004, I AUTOMATICALLY KNEW HE WAS AN "ORPHAN". HE NEEDED NO AUDITION OR INTRODUCTION. HE WAS IN THE SECT WETHER HE COULD PLAY OR NOT....HE WAS ONE OF US.
-K


THERE WAS ONE SUNDAY THAT ALL OF US IN "ORPHAN" GOT TOGETHER TO GO TO "ARTS IN ACTION" IN DOWNTOWN...ON THE WAY THERE BORIS WANTED AND NEED TO TAKE A PISS SO HE STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF BROADWAY DURING TRAFFIC AND PULLS OUT HIS COCK AND STARTS PISSING IN BROAD DAYLIGHT WITH FAMILIES AROUND AND ALL. IT WAS THE FUNNIEST SHIT ID EVER SEEN...IT WAS CLASSIC....FUCKING GENIOUS!!!!!

The story behind "SAD BUG"

"SAD LITTLE BUG" PERFORMED BY MICHAEL,DONNIE,TIM AND GARY OF "THE MAKERS" WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED BY TIM KERR AND CONRAD UNO AT EGG STUDIOS ON SEPT.1,1995. RELEASED AND COPYWRITTEN BY ESTRUS RECORDS IN BELLINGHAM WASHINGTON, DISTROBUTED THROUGH "THE MAKERS" SELF TITLED ALBUM... "ORPHAN" CHOSE THIS MELONCHOLIC BALLAD TO RECREATE BECAUSE OF ITS MELODIC NOTES AND EERIE CLAUSTROPHOBIC SENSE OF WORDS."SAD LITTLE BUG" CELEBRATES THE EMOTIONAL STRESS OF WISHING SOMEONE DEATH,HOW UNFAIR LIFE CAN SOMETIMES BE AND HOW ALONE AND ALIENATED THIS WORLD CAN MAKE YOU FEEL...NEARLY A DECADE LATER FROM ITS ORIGINAL RECORDING "ORPHAN" RENAMED AND RERECORDED "SAD BUG" IN HOLLYWOOD WITH STAN THE MAN AT TERMITE STUDIOS ON A COLD STARK NIGHT IN EARLY NOVEMBER OF 2004...VOCALS WERE RECORDED IN A BATHROOM STALL TO ACHIVE THE INFAMOUS BATHROOM ECHO AND A 15 YEAR OLD ACOUSTIC GUITAR WAS USED AT THE LAST MINUTE TO EMPHASIZE THE BALLAD FEEL OF THE SONG...MAKING IT MORE OF A BEATLESQUE TUNE. "SAD BUG" IS YET TO BE REALEASED BY "ORPHAN" ON THE FIRST ALBUM ENTITLED "TRAGIC THEATER".
