ORGONE @ Nectar Lounge 4/4/08
If you still don’t know who this group is…I give up. Please refer to my post on all things funk from a few days ago, and proceed to slap the hell out of yourself.
“Sounding much like a cross between The Dap-Kings and Breakestra (with whom they share several members), L.A.’s Orgone keeps the hotness of the recent retro-soul revival coming; lead singer Fanny Franklin fits in very nicely between Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse. As befits the band’s name, Orgone’s sound is quite organic, rooted in soul, funk, boogaloo, and jazz, with a classic appeal that’s nevertheless contemporary…the entire album is one non-stop groove. If smooth, soulful funk with jazzy arrangements makes you sweat, you just found your new favorite band.” – XLR8R
“Orgone has provided all the elemental power to drive the funk/soul revival to new levels with The Killion Floor…Orgone will invigorate your groove spirit and get booty out of its little box and out on the dancefloor.” – KEXP, 90.3FM (SEATTLE)
GET TICKETS HERE (and tell me how it was, cause I’m going to the mountain this weekend)
I saw their last show at nectar after hearing them on kexp and was totally blown away by the tambourine player. Def. worth checking out if you like marmalade.
