Following Green Milk From The Planet Orange’s confirmation for the Dutch festival Sonic Whip, the experimental progressive rock band have announced their European tour plans. The European tour, titled Tragedy Overground, will kick off in Cologne on 14 May and end exactly one month later in Switzerland. In between, the band will tour 10 countries with nearly 30 shows.
Green Milk from the Planet Orange are a band from Tokyo that got formed after the disbanding of psychedelic stoner grind band No Rest for the Dead. Two musicians from that band, A and Dead K decided that they were ready to start something new leading to the creation of Green Milk from the Planet Orange in 2001. There have been several changes in the band line-up in regards to bass players, even Margarette Hiroi (now active in 88Kasyo Junrei) was a bass player for a short while. After a hiatus from 2008 to 2016, Green Milk from the Planet Orange returned with the current line-up of A on drums, Dead K on guitar and Damo on bass. The music they create with this band gets described as an mixture of the music genres progressive rock, psychedelic rock and punk. In 2019, they released their third album, titled appropriately titled Third.
In 2023, the band announced that they have remastered their second album CITY CALLS REVOLUTION released in 2005 and is now available as a digital release on Bandcamp, after the album had been out of print for years. In March, the band released a split EP with American psychedelic punk band FUCKWOLF, titled LET’S SPLIT (裂けても), to celebrate the fact that the San Francisco-based band would be touring Japan in March and April which was organised by the band members of Green Milk From The Planet Orange. This release appeared on vinyl this year and remarkably contains only one track from Green Milk From The Planet Orange, while FUCKWOLF is represented with six tracks. However, the track from Green Milk From The Planet Orange is a live recording of over 19 minutes.
