The Suborbitals

The Suborbitals It’s really wonderful,” said Sleepy John Sandidge of KPIG. A live performance by these true Northern California originals is not to be missed.

The Suborbitals is an original low-rock band that features the powerful baritone sax of Ben Herod & the incomparable rhythm section of Gordon Stokes & Heath Proskin. “It's a unique sound...& dark. Described as 'a literary high,' The Suborbitals enjoy near-cult status for their dark, seductive live shows. Driven by an incomparable rhythm section and woven together with wild flourishes of saxophone, their sound is highlighted by lurid melodies and unshakable lyrics.

"There’s already so much homogenised, over-produced, watered-down crap that’s already out there. I don’t think we need a bunch of people creating the same thing over and over again." - Oliver Tree
