Welcome Orca Team to SoHiTek

If there's one town that could use more beach parties, its Portland. Enter Orca Team! They're brand of post punk meets beach party has an instant cool quality that will make you feel like partying on the beach like its 1960, even if your in the dankest of the dank basement parties. 

Listening to Orca team is like experiencing the fun and romance of being a teen listening to rock music in the early 60's, if bands like The Ventures sang songs with lyrics like "I have a couple friends/they happen to be ghosts". Check out they're myspace, and keep tuned to our page for release updates etc.
