about
Group formed in Dublin in September 1967 (or possibly earlier in late 1966) who released two excellent psychedelic singles on Pye. The first, released in June 1968, offered covers of two Tomorrow songs. The A-side was a decent version of "Three Jolly Little Dwarfs" while the B-side was far more exciting, a cover of "Real Life Permanent Dream" with fantastic lead guitar. The single charted in Ireland but failed to take off in the UK. Even so the band began to make plans to move to London in late 1968. The chart success of the debut meant the band got to record a second single for Pye. The A-side was a cover of Traffic's "You Can All Join In", written by Dave Mason. Despite some distorted guitar and studio effects, this is clearly an attempt at chart success. The original on the B-side was their most psychedelic outing by far, "Dr.Crippen's Waiting Room", written by Robin Crowley and Jimmy Greeley. The single failed to sell and the band's releases came to an end. The Orange Machine did appear on one more single backing Danny Hughes. Danny Hughes was a club DJ who became a pop music presenter on RTE TV shows such as Like Now among others. Pye figured he was a good bet for a single. Hughes sings the A-side "Hi Ho Silver Lining" but does not appear on the B-side at all. Instead Jimmy Greeley provides the vocals for "I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water", making it a bona fide Orange Machine track. Durkin and Kinsella left in early 1969 to join the would be pop supergroup being ass
