Galaxy Theater- August 11th

After an endless wait the lights dimmed till only the faint outline of five, towered over the audience. The crowd burst into loud incessant roar. A deep bass poured over the fans, and then into the microphone jay's voice boomed," Your just another pretty face." The wild fans erupted into screaming cheers.

A voice almost inhuman, except for the thick British accent, fills the crowded room, backed up by strange yet flowing music, as though produced from machines. They sound like 80's pop meets the 90 techno this strange collaboration gives Orgy and unreal and undiscovered sound like nobody else around. That and their clothes make them an object of idolization. Clothed in an all white, with matching shirt and pants (from their latest video "Stitches") the lead singer Jay Gordon has the hair and make up with match his self given name the "fashion bitch". Next to Jay stands Ryan Shuck, the Orgy's guitar player, is wearing a plain dark tank top and his hair was (recently) dyed black with red blotches his blue eyeshadow enhancing his look. On the other side of Jay, the bassist, Paige Haley has on a black shirt with black see- through, long-sleeve's. His dark black hair is gelled down in the front and spiked in the back. To his side guitar synth genius, Amir Derakh has longer hair gelled straight down and half bleached, half black do that leaves an unforgettable impression on your mind. In the background, with a huge smile on his face, sits Bobby Hewitt. Though he is blocked by his drum set you can see his black hair with various bleached spots. Also apparent his the fact that shortly after the set starts he removes his shirt, making more that a few fans scream.

Mid-way through the set a new song (supposedly named "Sonic") is introduced and gets major support obvious through the positive crowd reaction. On the second to last song "Revival" Ryan shows his talent to make extremely alien sounding affects and towards the end of the set Jon Davis (front man for the band (Korn*) joins Jay in the song and leaves the crowd going insane. Finally Jay announces that this was the last song and a loud chant breaks from the crowd "Blue Monday, Blue Monday!"

Bobby starts the long intro on the drums and the familiar song starts, ending the fabulous concert.

*Korn owns the record company eLementRee and Orgy was the first band to sign with them.
