ORGY To Reunite For Tour?

March 30, 2010

ORGY, the "death pop" band from Bakersfield, California, is planning to reunite later this year for a possible tour. The news was revealed earlier today via a video message from the group's guitarist Ryan Shuck, who is also a member of DEAD BY SUNRISE and JULIEN-K.

"I probably shouldn't say a lot of about this, but I've kind of got a stick up my ass about doing something with ORGY," Ryan can be heard saying in the clip, which is available for viewing below. "We're gonna be doing a tour — JULIEN-K — most likely, I'd say, in June, maybe after, in Europe, and if we do something with ORGY, that means we will have played a full tour with three different bands in one year. Pretty awesome. All original bands, all original content. It's starting to become a sort of a challenge and something I really wanna do."

ORGY — drummer Bobby Hewitt, singer Jay Gordon, guitarists Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh, and bassist Paige Haley — were shot out of the hard-rock cannon in 1998 with their platinum album "Candyass". Its ear-candy hooks, crushing riffs and razor-edge electronic sonics laid the scorched-earth groundwork for 2000's gold "Vapor Transmission" and 2004's "Punk Statik Paranoia". The videos for "Blue Monday", "Stitches" and "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)", meanwhile, created an indelible visual impression of post-punk artifice; the hair, the makeup, the costumes — all conspired to shroud the band in a cloak of dark menace.

After the release of 2000's "Vapor Transmission", ORGY left Reprise Records and had already severed ties with KORN's Elementree Records, which issued ORGY's first two albums. Gordon then started his own independent record label, D1 Music, which released the band's third album, "Punk Statik Paranoia", in 2004.
