To celebrate the release of their 2nd album “The Orchid Door”, Selon Recliner are sharpening their chopsticks & oiling the Lazy Susan for a Buffet & Show at the classic & infamous New Orient restaurant, where deep in the basement of the Strand Arcade time has stopped still. With a complimentary “Orchid Door” Cocktail on arrival, and the New Orient’s famous Buffet to arouse your appetite, DJ Jimmy Olsen and VJ Grafix will add extra seasoning and get the night spinning. As the tastes settle and ambiance is absorbed the bamboo curtain will pull back on The Orchid Door as Selon Recliner take over the old parquet dance floor.

Selon Recliner perform The Orchid Door @ 9pm:)

Recliner formed in 2004 to create music that leant towards the cinematic & evocative. A
band packed with song writing & visual arts talent, it was a cocktail waiting to be mixed, a
lounge suite of crushed velvet sound waiting to be slept on.

A few seasons passed as songs & demos piled up on the sideboard as the live show was
encouraged out with great flourish. Steady recording took the band underground during
the winter of 2005; they emerged again with the release of their debut album REST ROOM
in April 2006. It was received enthusiastically with the album being dubbed “Moody, Dark
Pop” by reviewers. It collected a couple of international awards, a handful of nominations,
charted on a swag of College Radio stations in North America, and picked up licensing
deals to MTV, USA along with several other American Production Networks. The sofa had
been slept on and the REST ROOM had exhausted its occupancy… it was time to create
another space… THE ORCHID DOOR.

RECLINER ARE: Belinda Bradley, Vocals. Darlene Te Young, BV’s. Guy Wishart, Guitar.
Perry Bradley, Electronica. Vernon Rive, Bass. Michael Te Young, Drums.

    Moody and dark is dipping strawberries in dark covered chocolate, waiting for them to set - then dropping them individually into a glass of champagne. Moody is the feeling of the bubbles taking place, the sweetness of the strawberry and the dark surprise of the chocolate. Hmmm...

    Dylan Moran! Couldn't you just eat him up with a spoon? Dark floppy hair and surly observational humour. Not that I condone cannabalism ... so maybe just a quick nibble.

    Dark n moody: listening to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on a dark and stormy night, drinking dark and blood-red wine alone.

    My mother-in-laws remote bach in the Bay of Islands on a windy and blustery night, right on the beachfront. it is so dark that you can't see in front of you and the seagulls that fly at night look like spectres as the moonlight reflects off their wings. Waves crashing on the beach and the wind blowing through the tea tree that lap at the roof. Bright red eyes of the possums as you sometimes catch them peering at you from the trees as you make the chilling trip to the...longdrop:(

    Moody and dark is the winter moors, the park on a foggy morning, my mood when the car won't start or when I have a flat tyre on my bike. It's not an ideal situation, but you get through it by not focusing too much on it, but focusing on the good that can come out of it and the strength of character built up as a result.
