The Orphins, Nomen Novum Micro-Tour Starts Tomorrow

Two of the best bands in this city are doing a few OTP dates over the extended weekend. If you read Ohmpark regularly, you know we are big Nomen Novum fans, but we don't talk about The Orphins nearly enough, mostly because they haven't been the most active band since releasing their first full-length, Drowning Cupid, back in 2004. I just recently purchased another copy of it because I had lost my original, and have had it back in my listening rotation. It has got to be one the best albums to ever come out of the A.

The Orphins : Drowning Cupid : Camp Cryotop


Both bands are working on albums right now and I can't wait to hear them. If you are in one these lucky cities, you are required to catch the show:

May 9 - Knoxville, TN @ The Birdhouse
May 10 - Charlotte, NC @ Yauhaus
May 12 - Athens, GA @ Caledonia Lounge
