Bio By She Rox All Female Bands: Los Angeles based, Orchids began in 1979 by then former Runaways manager Kim Fowley, who's idea it was to form a Runaways like band, and though dismissed by few as such, the Orchids were far from a Runaway's clone band. Drummer Laurie Bell and the Runaway's last and final bassist Laurie McAllister were at the forefront of the band's start up, proving much like the Runaways did, the Orchids were far from Fowley controlled puppets and proved their talent to any skeptics. The Orchids play pop rock music that bordered new wave, the current music trend gaining popularity at that time, the band released one Ep under Kim Fowley before being signed to major label MCA, then lead vocalist Sindy Collins was not of age and not contractually signable and was soon replaced by vocalist Jan King, and the self-titled debut album was released in 1980, MCA did little to support the album and the band broke up a year after its release and only three years after they began, drummer Laurie Bell would go on to form the all-female band Tatrum and later Puss N Boots a hard rock female band along with Che Zuro and vocalist Jan King. Bassist Laurie McAllister would pass away in 2011. Original vocalist Sindy Collins would pass away as well year unknown.
