2001-2008 : GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE was formed in 2001 by dead k, A, and the initial bass player, Benjian, in Tokyo, Japan. The first two demos were recorded with this lineup, and in 2003, the second bass player, T(aka Wolf, ex-Acid Mothers Temple, now in Folk Enough), joined the band. The debut full-length album was recorded in Milwaukee, WI, USA, and Tokyo. Beta-lactam Ring Records in Portland, OR, released it in 2004. The band embarked on two US west coast tours in 2004.
In 2005, the band created the second full album, "City Calls Revolution," at Headgear Studio in Brooklyn, NY, with Paul Mahajan. This marked the beginning of a substantial US tour, with five iterations until 2007. After the spring US tour in 2007, the band lost the second bass player, T, leading to a hiatus until the summer of 2008. Margarette H became the third bass player in mid-2008, and the band resumed performances in Tokyo. However, drummer A decided to leave GMFTPO soon after, prompting another pause at the end of 2008. Margarette H left the band to focus on his project, 88kasyo Junrei.
In 2015, dead k invited A to join him in his own band called LOA, where Damo, the bass player, was also part of the lineup. A, known for his drumming in Sajjanu and Lagitagida after GMFTPO, took on a new role within this musical collaboration.
