ORGY Announces Co-Headlining Tour with COLD Tickets On Sale Now

“Hey guys, I’m excited to announce our upcoming tour with Orgy, Cold, Horizon Theory, and I Ya Toyah. We will be headed out in April and May. So make sure to get your tickets early, so you get a chance to come check all of us out. It’s been a minute since Orgy has done a full tour, so I couldn’t be happier about that. We will be playing new songs as well as tons of your favorite classic Orgy songs, as we have just released, both Candyass (25 years ), and Vapor Transmission on vinyl. Everyone in the band is crazy excited about the tour, so I can assure you, it will be well worth the price of admission! Hope to see all of you at the shows! Peace and Love.” – Jay Gordon

Cold is excited to be back out on the road with Orgy this Spring on our Co-headline tour for their anniversary of the album Candyass. That album has always been a staple record for an era of music that changed the landscape for things to come in our genre. Looking forward to being a part of the celebration!” – Scooter Ward

The two records industrial/metal/glam outfit Orgy released on the Elementree label (started by Korn’s Jonathan Davis) at the turn of the century remain among the most requested albums of the era for vinyl release. Here they are at last, each remastered for LP and issued with lavish gatefold packaging.

Orgy was the first act signed by Korn’s Jonathan Davis to his Elementree imprint, and the move paid off right away with their 1998 debut, which went Top 30 and scored a huge hit with its cover of New Order’s “Blue Monday.” Somehow, though, this enduring late-‘90s favorite has eluded a vinyl release…till now! With the full cooperation of the band, we’ve had it remastered for vinyl (by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision) and placed this platter inside a beautiful gatefold jacket. Clear with red and yellow swirl pressing.

Orgy welcomed the new millennium with another smash album replete with sci-fi themes appropriate to the epochal period of its release (and no doubt influenced by the previous year’s unveiling of The Matrix). Our debut vinyl issue includes the bonus track “The Spectrum” that only appeared on the first 1,000 copies of the CD, and comes in a dazzling gatefold jacket. Remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision, and pressed in red and yellow “plasma” vinyl.

About ORGY:

Initially formed in 1997, ORGY was signed to KORN’s label Elementree Records & released their debut album Candyass in 1998. Featuring their two hit singles, a cover of the New Order song “Blue Monday” & “Stitches,” along with the song “Revival” featuring Jonathan Davis of KORN, the album went on to sell almost two million copies. ORGY appeared on the Family Values Tour with KORN & was featured on the live compilation album released in 1999. Their second album, the science fiction-themed Vapor Transmission, was released in 2000, featuring the singles “Fiction (Dreams in Digital)” & “Opticon” and the band later released the song “Faces” for the soundtrack to the movie Zoolander. Other releases from ORGY include the album Punk StatiK Paranoia (2004) & the Talk Sick EP (2015), with single releases since including “Grime of the Century,” “Wide Awake & Dead,” “Spells,” “Army To Your Party,” “ShadyAF,” “Karma Kastles,” “EMPTY” & the 2020 re-release of “The Spectrum.”

ORGY Drops “Empty” Single

“I’m excited to finally start getting these tracks out for Orgy again. As we move toward a new direction musically speaking, I wanted to put a track out that has a bit of that signature Orgy sound, and hint at what’s coming next. Hope everyone will see the big picture and enjoy this track called “Empty” about being drained from always trying to make everyone happy.” – Jay Gordon

ORGY‘s Jay Gordon shares, “I’m really stoked to deliver this track “Empty” which sums up the rigors of both intimate and platonic friendships alike, and how draining they can be to maintain.” The band is excited about a few up & coming dates; The Whisky a Go Go on March 24, 2023 and most notably Live Nation’s “Sick New World” music festival on May 13, 2023. We will be adding a few select dates along the way, in support of the new music we have coming out soon! 

ORGY spawned from the late 1990’s Goth music scene with their incredible remake of New Order’s “Blue Monday.” Upon release the track sold over one million copies and has sold more than 2 million copies to date. In late 2005, after the release of Punk Statik Paranoia via D1 Music and Associates, their independent DVD TRANS GLOBAL SPECTACLE via D1 Music / DLC Records, and a 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. Jay, Carlton Bost and Nic Speck have been the ORGY core since 2011.

After several years of releasing singles to the masses, ORGY has proven their long-lasting potency with a refreshed line-up and sound. The modern incarnation of ORGY has been transformed and sees the band poised to re-establish themselves in the EDM, industrial and hard rock scenes. Make no mistake about it, the ORGY brand is not going away anytime soon. As long as the fans demand new music and tours, the band is ready, willing and able to fill their request.

In 2023, ORGY released a video for EMPTY, a track mixed by Eric Racy and mastered by Trevor Case of Case mastering. This newer sound for ORGY has great lyrics, melodies, and guitars.

ORGY played Vampire Freaks Dark Side of the Con in April 2022 and did a short 7 show run in support of the ‘Karma Kastles’ and ‘Shady AF’ singles. They most recently played The Endless Night Vampire Ball in New Orleans, October 29, 2022 to a sold out crowd.

About ORGY:

Orgy is a rock band that has been captivating audiences with their raw, energetic sound and provocative lyrics since their formation in the late-90s. With a lineup of five talented musicians. The lineup changes from time to time depending on tours and local shows the band has carved out a unique place in the world of rock music.

Their early music was heavily influenced by the glam and industrial genres, with a strong emphasis on the use of electronic elements and distorted vocals. Over the years, Orgy has evolved and grown, experimenting with different styles and sounds, but always maintaining their signature edge and intensity.

Orgy‘s live performances are known for their high-energy, visually stunning shows, with the band members dressed in elaborate costumes and makeup. The band has toured extensively throughout their career, performing for packed crowds at major music festivals and headlining their own tours.

In addition to their music, Orgy is also known for their philanthropic work, often using their platform to raise awareness for important social and political issues. They are true rock stars in every sense of the word – talented, bold, and unapologetically themselves.
