Seattle
"If sex came in a tube of toothpaste The Celebrity Orphans squeeze 39 minutes worth with their new self-titled album. This freshman release is fiercely well-written and with KEXP live engineer Julian Martlew at the knobs and whistles finds the Orphans at the top of their craft with an album that announces that they are here to stay. Highly recommend you buy this album and a toothbrush."

CD Review

From Seattle Sound Magazine
"this full-length debut offers strange bedfellows, from funny falsetto to bemused musings on supermodels...through the melding of sex, death and bent metal." Hey, why not?
CD Review
Monday, November 13th
by Rick Feuer of The Fifth Dimension
"Before I listened to BC's music, I was skeptical from what I would hear, based off of my experience of working in the music business for many years. I was pleasantly surprised from the first note I heard throughout the entire cd. What I appreciated most about BC's songs was the consistency of style, which is not only enticing but both memorable and genuine. BC takes risks both lyrically and melodically, artfully conveying the emotion of each song to the listener. I can appreciate an artist like BC, who is both talented and willing to stay true to who he is and what his message is, without bowing into pressures of being politically correct. In my eyes, the music industry desparately needs to support artists like BC and allow the artist to influence the industry instead of allowing the industry to influence the artist."

After 16 months of exhaustive work, "Now's the time." is finished! It can be purchased right here on this page and it will soon be available around town. Check back here for shows and all kinds of news. Thanks!
.
Beginning with an epiphany in the barren deserts of Turkey, followed by a manic period of writing a song a day, BC recorded "Now's the time" with engineer/co-producer Erik Chillman over a two year period in a homemade studio in Seattle's industrial Georgetown. Starting out as a hopeful experiment-- melding BC's background in jazz and all forms of rock and Erik's years as a DJ of acid house and electronic music-- the album developed, song by song into an impressive and mature sonic unity.
Quickly realizing that these sweaty and addictive songs needed to be brought to the stage, BC sought out a versatile and powerful band. Slowly gathering, the CELEBRITY ORPHANS finally emerged with the soulful Tyler Clark (guitar), Seattle new-music virtuoso Angelina Baldoz (bass), outstanding southern sensation Jay Hoots (drums) and co-producer Erik Chillman (keys). Bringing a unique set of influences and personalities to the mix, the CELEBRITY ORPHANS have melded into a raw and visceral group that feeds off each other's energy and have quickly captivated fans in a very short period of time.
