Orgy has built a worldwide audience for the brand. In late 2005, after the release of the D1 Music and Associates Punk Statik Paranoia PSP and their D1 Music /DLC Records Independent “TRANS GLOBAL SPECTACLE” DVD promotional tour the band went on a hiatus to work on their side projects. In 2011, after seven years of demand from fans for new music and a tour, founding member Jay Gordon (vocals) decided it was time to kick things back up and begin recording and touring again in support of ORGY’s fans.
Born in San Francisco, CA, Jay Gordon was heavily influenced by music from a young age. After playing bass for several years and working as a producer and engineer on several albums (including Coal Chamber’s self-titled album and others), Jay was introduced to four other musicians who, with him, would eventually form ORGY. After establishing themselves in the scene, the band was noticed by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis and signed to Elementree/Reprise records. Jay did an incredible remix of the Linkin Park song Points of Authority, which was the first video and single off of The Reanimation album and sold an incredible 7.1 million upon release. Jay went on producing and working in the studio with multiple artists. After many unsuccessful attempts to reconnect with each other, they decided to go their separate ways.
Synth rock is an extremely exciting genre of music for me, and Orgy’s adaptation of the style to what they have coined ‘death pop’ is an innovative manipulation and fusion of genres. Their catchy tunes and choruses reminiscent of mainstream pop music encourage the audience to dance and sing along, which has the band in an ideal position for putting on great shows.
Although the line up has changed since their hiatus, Jay Gordon has held together the roots of the band, and along with their new member, their authenticity hasn’t been lost at all, and their shows are as strong as they ever were. To remind everyone of this, they opened the show with the track Blue Monday, from way back in 1998. The crowd was full predominantly of long time fans, so we were all singing along to the famous song.
Their talents on their respective instruments are incredible, and the guitar solo battles had everyone screaming for more. When they played their tracks from Punk Statik Paranoia, they encouraged everyone to sing along, and taught us some lines of the chorus, and held out the microphone when we got to them. The performance was like nothing I’d seen before, band members jumping off the stage, guitar solos with epic dancing, and s really tight and competent band.
