History

Three members of the band, Kyle Hanson, Lori Goldston, and Don Crevie, had previously played together in a Seattle-area band called The Run/Remain Ensemble. John Helle Otto (baritone sax) was also a member of the original Run/Remain group and continued into the Black Cat configuration. They played their first show together at a wedding in 1989, but would not officially form until 1991.[2][3] Since then, they have released two albums, a self-released and self-titled debut in 1996 and Mysteries Explained from Irene Records in 2001. In the intervening time, they appeared on David Byrne's 1997 album Feelings,[4] performed for This American Life (a performance that would be featured on the 2006 compilation This American Life: Stories of Hope and Fear),[3][5] and appeared at numerous film festivals providing live scores for early silent films.[1] In 2003, the Orchestra collaborated with then-Portland-based artist Mirah on a politically-themed album called To All We Stretch the Open Arm.[6] The band dissolved in 2004 but Goldston and Hanson's next band, Spectratone International, collaborated with Mirah on the 2007 album Share This Place: Stories and Observations.[7]
