Indie Ville TV #10 Jet Black Orchid

Written By Emma Sturgeon

A California native and a lover of rock, Gunnar Brittany and his two brothers, Rio and
Jaggar, formed Jet Black Orchid in 2007. Their father, an avid guitar and piano player,
initially peaked the boys’ interest in music. When they decided to form a band later on,
the genre came naturally.

“We grew up listening to classic rock,” says Gunnar. “We would cover Led Zeppelin,
The Beatles and other bands of that genre, so when we decided to write our own stuff, it
just came organically.”

Jet Black Orchid is on the move these days. They are currently residing in Louisville,
Ky., but are notoriously moving around, going wherever their music takes them. The
band’s ultimate goal is to keep classic rock alive, as opposed to the over-produced,
digitized music that seems to be everywhere these days. The brothers have spent the
last couple of months in the studio. “In our new stuff, we experiment with different
sounds, but we don’t stray from our genre,” says Gunnar. “It’s the same band.” Jet Black
Orchid is expected to release their new album in the very near future. For updates, visit
