Clash of The Orchids formed by brother Bret & Chaz. Chaz (of Master Minds & WhiteChapel) had taken time away from music to venture into film & script writing. Bret (from Obsession) was working with elder brother Chaz on a short film when they brainstormed ideas of a fictional band they could write. The fictional band resembled them selves so they decided to make their fictional comic-book like band into a real project. Since both Jackson 5 and The Rolling Stones were already taken they called them selves CLASH OF THE ORCHIDS.
