Orange Tulip Conspiracy Tour Dates

gronk

Official release:

Orange Tulip Conspiracy
hello folks,

we figured we’d tip of those of you who are on the west coast of the United States to a tour you might want to check out. It’s Orange Tulip Conspiracy, which is Jason Schimmel’s (part time SC3 bassist and full time friend) project, who also have a CD out on Mimicry Recordings. We’ll let their press release take it from here, but check this stuff out: Jason’s music is great, and the people in his band are amazing — for some reason they didn’t list the bands they are playing with, but I know some of them are excellent: for example, they’re playing with the excellent Diminished Men in Seattle and Japanoise Elephants in SF. Look up who’s on the bill in your town.
Their press release:

Orange Tulip Conspiracy is heading out on tour to promote a brand new record. Commencing in Seattle and ending in San Francisco, the tour will have 8 shows running down the west coast of the United States. OTC will feature some new and old faces associated with the Estradasphere scene. The live incarnation will feature Jason Schimmel (guitar), John Whooley (sax, keys), Dan Robbins (upright and electric bass), Zach Cline (guitar), and Lee Smith (drums). Jason has played with John and Lee in Estradasphere, and Dan Robbins is an accomplished and highly sought-after bassist in his own right from the central coast of California.

gronk

Definitely a gig on but not sure of the lineup. Possibly Six Litanies in Paris on the 23rd of June, 2008.John Zorn’s Six Litanies For Heliogabalus Lineup:

Fred Frith guitar
John Zorn saxophone
Bill Laswell bass
Terry Bozio drums
special guest: Mike Patton voice

More info and tickets

Gig info on Last.fm with conflicting lineup

EDIT – Thanks to a commenter we have clarification:

“No, actually, Six Litanies was programmed and announced (with Dunn, Baron,Mori, Patton, Saft and a choir), but was cancelled last week to be replaced with a two-part show: Frith/Zorn then Painkiller (with Bozzio on drums and Patton as guest-star)”
