| | The Orchids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Orchids were one of the most prolific, enduring and popular bands of the twee pop scene at Sarah Records. | | | Formed near Glasgow in 1986, the Orchids released a series of underground singles on the hugely influential Sarah Records (see 1986 in music). | | | The Orchids were musically one of the more interesting Sarah bands and certainly developed far more on that label than any band except, perhaps, The Field Mice. |

| | The Orchids' early singles were successful enough that simultaneous to the release of their third 7", "What Will We Do Next," in September 1989, Sarah released the label's first-ever album, the 10" Lyceum, a lengthy eight-track EP that, consistent with Sarah's value-for-money ethic, contained no songs that had previously appeared on singles. | | | The Orchids first hooked up with Sarah's Matt Haynes and Clare Wadd just as the label was getting underway in 1987, and so the Orchids' debut single, 1988's "I've Got a Habit," was only the second Sarah release. | | | One of the most prolific bands on Bristol, England's legendary indie pop label Sarah Records, the Orchids were also one of the label's most press-shy outfits. |

| | The Orchids made records for the Bristol based Sarah records and were sadly stigmatised as being fey indiepop janglers by a music press that seemed at the time to long for something more, ah, Rock-derived. | | | The Orchids didn't seem to fit in to the Sarah scene, the irony of course being that the Orchids fitted perfectly with the Sarah scene because Sarah was never about scenes and was always about being bloody minded and standing up and just being well, just BEING really. | | | The Orchids were also largely passed over by those Sarah devotees who instead spent hours moping in bedrooms listening to the Field Mice or flouncing in Pop basement clubs to Heavenly records. |

| | The Orchids at Spectropop |
| | The Blue Orchids and the Breakaways took the early sound of the Phil Spector girl groups in America, and amplified it. | | | While the female singers and girl groups on the British recording scene of the 1960s were typically in their twenties, THE ORCHIDS of Coventry - Georgina Oliver, Pamela Jarman and Valerie Jones - were 14-year-old schoolgirls when they made their first record. | | | When the Blue Orchids sang, the audience couldnft help but to listen to those three pre-teen girls with the loud, loud sound!". |

| | If Unholy Soul was the first evidence of The Orchids making inroads into merging what was then still termed 'dance' music with guitar Pop, then their swansong album Striving For The Lazy Perfection took it all further still. | | | Such a reading has certainly been detrimental to many of the bands who actually recorded records for the label, not least of whom would be The Orchids. | | | However it wasn't a really a true 'band' album. |
