Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dallas Orbiter

Post-punk/art-rock/psych-pop outfit Dallas Orbiter (singer/guitarist Mark Miller, bassist Dan Gahres, keyboardist Jon Schmig, and drummer Greg Flanagan) formed in Minneapolis at some point in 1999 out of the ashes of power-pop outfit Captain Sunshine and ska-punk group The Pinsetters.  Wishing to maintain an element of melodicism, the members were also seeking more open-ended, lysergically-minded sonic and improvisational freedom. They soon settled on their name, a play on the manufacturer of a fairly ubiquitous fuzz guitar pedal from late 60s & early 70s psychedelia.
