Flagrant Orange
Music that tells the story of a lifetime
Who We Are
Flagrant Orange is an indie rock / alt rock band from Portland, OR. Formed in 2016 by Misty Nikula and Eric Crowfoot, the band went through several editions over the next few years.
When Misty writes, she draws from personal experience, emotional spaces, and deep introspection to try to capture the intricate and nuanced human condition of love, loss, and the need for connection.
By 2020, the band consisted of Misty Nikula (vox), Eric Crowfoot (guitar), Jeremy Fanders (bass), Jeremy Philpott (drums), and Matthew Bugado (keys). These members recorded the band’s first album, The Stories I Still Believe, released in December 2021.
In the spring of 2022, the band went on hiatus for personal reasons and Nikula and Fanders started writing together. After a year of writing, they wanted to perform these new songs as well songs from the album and moved forward as Flagrant Orange with Eric's blessing.
On the latest songs, Fanders writes and records all of the music and Nikula writes and records all of the lyrics and vocal melodies. Jeremy Philpott rejoined the band for live shows with the addition of Gina Curvin (bass) and Josh Reynolds (guitar). They are finishing up their second full length album, Erosion, due out in November 2025.
