ORGY, at the Boardwalk, Orangevale.

Jay Gordon, ORGY

In case you're wondering: they are a band. Not... you know. They are a band.

Today's lineup is far different from the original ORGYof the late 1990's, with Jay Gordon having reformed and remodelled ORGY since 2011. The result is an energy explosion that just makes you pogo. You have to pogo, No other dance fits. Just jump!

Jay Gordon just doesn't keep still, not for a second.

The music is driven by strong-and-heavy rhythms, but it's as light as a pop song sculpted from metal. Culture Club and Tears for Fears meets Korn and creates electro-punk-death-pop. Yes, it's fun. Yes, you can wear makeup, put ribbons in your hair, wear five-inch platform boots, and pluck your eyebrows out of existance. It's all good.

The Boardwalk was the perfect venue for the show: ably supported by Graveshadow and The Alpha Complex (photos on their way soon!), ORGY were mingling with the crowd before the show, and on stage by 9.30 p.m.

Closing the show with an extended version of the ORGY classic remake of Blue Monday, just about every member of the audience contributed... singing, yelling, howling... and pogoing. It was crazy-fun. What a great evening!
