Last month, the band released the second single from their new upcoming album Magical Animals, the irresistible Dance Hall bop Poly-Pride song and video of the Summer, “Loving on Each Other.” “Loving on Each Other” is a top-down, sunset drive along the coast, belting out a care-free chorus with your besties, middle finger up to the haters kind of song. “Got no worries, no drama, gummy bears and marijuana, feels like every day is summer when we’re loving on each other!”
The Magical Animals Tour is part of a glam rock extravaganza the likes of which have not been seen since the heyday of the 1970’s. TOE fans can expect fantastical anthropomorphic costumes from the band and their entourage, and everyone is encouraged to let their wild animal side break free! The Magical Animals Tour will be a celebration of music, makeup, and mischief and will perform all of their popular hits in their signature bombastic, glittery fashion and will be coming to select cities in the United States, Canada, UK and Europe.
So how did this all happen? In the early months of 2020 The Orion Experience was witnessing a modern day miracle. The greatest wish of every artist seemed to be coming true for this eclectic indie rock band; “The Cult of Dionysus” was going viral, and a deluge of new fans were seeking them out. The world was in a pandemic lockdown, and the time seemed right to connect with this new audience. The Orion Experience began live-streaming concerts from their home studio, and got to work writing and recording new music. All the while building a digital community of like-minded mischief makers. The hard work paid off, the band grew from 80k monthly Spotify listeners to 1.2 Million.
Viral TikTok sounds and digital streaming is one thing, but The Orion Experience cut their teeth in the post-punk revival era of New York City. Live performances are where the band comes to life. So in the fall of 2023, The Orion Experience teamed up with drag superstar Honey Davenport and launched the All Dolled Up Party a glam rock mash up of indie rock and indie drag. Could digital success be replicated in the real world? If The Orion Experience built a scene would the fans come? Come they did! The All Dolled Up Party in Los Angeles, London and New York were filled to the brim with fabulously freaky fans of all ages, shapes, and genders. There were tear filled meet & greets, audience sing alongs, and lots and lots of autographed merch.
A release date for the eponymous new album will be announced shortly.
