Hollywood, CA rockers ORGY are back!
The multi-platinum band will be hitting the road for the first time since 2005 on their “Bad Blood Tour 2012,” set to kick off this Saturday, February 18 in Point Richmond, CA. The six-week trek, with support from Faultline, One-Eyed Doll, The Attitude and various local bands, will take the newly reformed band across the country with stops in Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago, Minneapolis and Milwaukee, among many cities, before hitting New York City on Tuesday, March 6 at Irving Plaza. The band will then head south as they make their way back home for a show at The Key Club on the Sunset Strip Wednesday, March 21 before wrapping the tour in Tempe, AZ on Monday, April 2 (see full tour dates below). ORGY is currently in the studio recording new material, including a collaboration with Grammy Award-winning EDM artist Skrillex.
As the demand from fans for new music and a tour continued to grow over the past few years, founding member JAY GORDON (vocals) hand-selected guitarist CARLTON BOST (formerly with Elijah Blue Allman’s project Deadsy), guitarist ASHBURN MILLER (also from Deadsy), bassist NIC SPECK (from Run-Run-Run and George Lynch) and drummer JAMIE MILLER (formerly with Snot, The Start, And You Will Know Us From the Trail of Dead) to come together and carry on the ORGY name. The guys—who’ve all known each other from their previous projects—have mutual respect both professionally and creatively for one another and are excited to be working together.
The band (see short bio below) has also just launched their brand new website WWW.ORGYMUSIC.COM. Throughout the tour, the band will be posting videos, photos and tour blogs to the new site along with all their social media sites to keep the fans updated.
