Orgone

Los Angeles based band Orgone is many souls with a cosmic connection, a natural creative force and musicians who have played together for years.  They are self schooled and continue to shape their musical voice as a solid unit of guys who hang, spin records and jam out their shared inspirations. With a rooted sense of funk, soul, afrobeat, deep rhythms and an intimate understanding of dj culture as well as each others' individual talents, Orgone seamlessly slides through multiple styles and dynamic performances.  The group continuously injects whatever they play with a heavy brand of raw funk power. 

At the core of the band is a rhythm section comprised of close friends who have played together for more than 10 years. Having grown artistically as a unit they function as one organic and intuitive whole. The orginal 5-member band started out by putting their own gritty takes on tunes by the likes of the JBs, the Meters, Booker T. and the MGs, Grant Green and Funkadelic among many others. The band fast grew to include a powerful three-piece horn section and a fiery soul singer who all shared the same spirit and deep reverence for the music that inspired them.  Singer, Fanny Franklin, joined the groups‟ recordings after they were floored seeing her perform with Dakah, the 30-piece hip-hop orchestra, and asked her to record with them. 

Orgone continues to tour, impressing audiences and winning new fans at festivals & clubs nationally and overseas.  2009 saw the release of their second fully independent CD  "bacano", a collection of all original cold-blooded funk gems representing what's always been going down in Orgone's retro, sweaty home-grown recording spot. Orgone live and recorded is 100% organic heart and soul an aesthetic and an attitude born out of half a lifetime of playing together.
