Orange Cones
Orange Cones speak from the vantage point of unpopular, forlorn, problematic Americans attempting to get some point across.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Munro's acoustic trio Chocolate Zulu paved the way for the formation of Orange Cones when Munro returned from Atlanta, and David Martinez joined the group. The band went electric and recorded the Masterpieces of Entertainment CD.
While still in Atlanta, Munro worked with James Blount and his bass player to record the Irreplaceable Specimen five-song EP known as Quinto.
Several years after the Cones disbanded, Munro teamed up with his brother Ivan and his original drummer Jeromy, to perform as Corduroy Lifejacket for a single show in Los Angeles.
