Next Studio Album in the Works - Sep 2009

OTC's second studio album is in the works right now. We are hoping this album will be released sometime in late 2010. It features some of the same musicians that appear on the first release but has many more collaborations with musicians from the local Seattle music scene. Legendary musicians such as Alan Bishop, Eyvind Kang, Joe Doria, Dave Abramson, Steve Moore and Mike Stone are just a few of the names which will appear on this new release. The material on this upcoming record is somewhat similar to the debut record in that it contains influences from wide gamut of sources. Cinematic, film noir, heavy surf, eastern jazz, ambient rock and european folk are just a few of the genres which will converge on this new release. We strived to achieve a much more organic sound on this record by actually tracking it live to 2-inch analog tape directly following our U.S tour last May. So please sit tight because this one will be worth the wait...

New Tour! - Mar 2009

Hello friends,

Orange Tulip Conspiracy is back at it again with a full North American tour scheduled for this May. OTC features members of Secret Chiefs 3 and Estradasphere; including guitarist Jason Schimmel, longtime Estradasphere saxophone wizard John Whooley and madman drummer Lee Smith. Now with members from Seattle's avant music scene this group will melt your face off. Coming to a city near you.

Upcoming Tour and new Merch available - Dec 2008

Thanks everyone for making the debut OTC tour such a huge success! In retrospect the nine day tour of the west coast turned out to be way too short. We are now planning a followup tour of the U.S., focusing on cities we didn't play this time around. The east coast and southern U.S will be the next plan of attack. Look out for this follow-up tour planned for May 2009. Also special thanks to all the amazing fans who generously offered their assistance to help make this first tour so amazing. We won't forget you all! Also please check out our new store, featuring merchandise only available through our website.

Debut Tour - Nov 2008

OTC is heading out on a debut tour hitting the west coast of the U.S. to promote the new record. Commencing in Seattle and ending in San Francisco, the tour will have a total of 9 shows. 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. Please check out the tour dates.
