an indie pop band from Glasgow, United Kingdom

One of the acts on the legendary indie label Sarah Records, The Orchids play pop in its purest and most engaging form. The band formed in the mid-1980s in Penilee, near Govan, in South Glasgow, releasing two full-length studio albums plus a string of EPs and singles. After Sarah dissolved in 1995 the band packed it in, but reformed to record a comeback album and also resumed gigging, with a breathtaking comeback performance at London's Luminaire in March 2007. Their latest album The Lost Star was released on Pebble Records in October 2010.
