LTM benevolently continues to dredge the ponds, lakes, and rivers ofthe British Isles for the lost or forgotten bands of the '80s and early'90s,this time coming up in Glasgow with a triad of compilations featuringthe recorded output of The Orchids. I remember the first timehearing them and being a little intrigued by their music but a littledisgusted by the stiffness of the vocals. It took me a while toappreciate it and I am genuinely interested to see how others reactsince I reckon the vocals to be a polarizing part of the band's music.

What surprised me most about Githead was how light hearted they were.
Sure their name should hint at some sort of humour but their studio
work has a seriousness about it that made me imagine four people on
stage staring at their shoes. Thankfully what I found was a friendly,
funny band that interacted warmly with the slightly anaemic looking
audience.
