This is the former The Van Orsdels. I say former because my brother, Dick Van Orsdels is no longer the drummer. =) They produced a CD called "Miami Morgue Riot". Check em out at www.thevanorsdels.comHave you performed in front of an audience?They do play live still, sans Dick Van Orsdel.
Your musical influences
How do four degenerate punksters from the dengue-infested swamps of South Florida sign with über-cool German indie Crazy Love Records? The old-fashioned way: hard work and a little luck. With individual influences steeped in jazz, metal, punk, and rockabilly, as well as a shared passion for broads and B flicks, the Van Orsdels have significantly refined their bare-bones psychobilly approach since 2003's Ain't Life a Drag? EP. On Miami Morgue Riot! the bandmates push their sound to its limit in an attempt to represent the cultural and sonic hodgepodge of their influences.
This eclecticism works because it's a true reflection of the diversity that makes this city dynamic. Off the aforementioned album, "Evil" is retooled under the magic of studio time, and the horror ode sounds ten times better. New tracks like "Coming for You" and "Dancing Devils" serve as a breakneck psycho cadence and a fine forum for Todd's guitar work to rip an authoritative tear in the sonic lining, dripping with vodou echo and Eighties metal tinges. On midtempo numbers like "Little Zombie Girl" and "Hey, Hey," the rhythm section displays its jazz training with contrabassist Bruno's laying a deep groove under drummer Dick's sensitive machine gun of metal/punk speeds and soft snare/hi-hat backgrounds.
