After an exhaustive search, we've finally secured a jam spot to call our own, and are in the process of kicking the crap out of our songs in preparation for.. well I dunno exactly.. recording, gigging, you know the deal. Point is, we're on the way!

About the Band
First conceived by Spencer Lillo (Lead Vox / Guitar / etc) while he was living in Red Deer, Alberta. Spencer later moved to Victoria BC, joining forces with Ryan Stringer (Bass / Backing Vox), and Stephen Hawkes (Drums / Backing Vox), to form The Black Orchid Rebellion.
B.O.R. recently hooked up with guitarist / vocalist / keyboarder Shaun Thackeray and had their public debut on June 28th.
B.O.R.'s style is a heavily guitar-laden mish-mash of post-modern grunge and hard/progressive rock, tempered with melodic piano riffs and haunting string sections, with influences such as Nirvana, Skillet, Muse, Radiohead, and The Beatles.
