Biography
The Orch. are Michael Conroy (lyrics and vocals), Phil Hayes (guitars, visuals and production) and Damian Ashcroft (keyboards, synths and production).
They played live together around Manchester, UK a lot in the 90's, earning regular regional radio play, pockets of critical acclaim and a release on Tony Wilson's Factory Too (fac 2.02). Having gone their separate ways for over a decade (in which period Conroy released two albums 'Cheap Shots and 'Royal Shit' under the moniker 'superqueens' with Salford electronica/beats composer Bruce Magill), they decided to start recording again, mixing the old (unreleased material) with the new. The result is 'Small Times' (released on Skinny Dogs Records in December 2010) - nine tracks of spoken word and electronica, atmospherics and guitars.
