Interview by Kris Peters
It's hard to believe that two of rocks biggest musical exports of the last quarter of a century have never toured Australia before.
With a combined tenancy of 50 years, ORGY and COLD are loved and revered the world over for a succession of singles including Blue Monday, Stitches, Stupid Girl and Suffocate to scratch the surface, but it is the bands' respective albums Candyass and Year Of The Spider that have seen them both stand the test of time with their integrity intact and their heads still rocking.
With ORGY celebrating 25 years of Candyass and COLD two decades of their breakthrough album, the two bands have joined forces for a twin assault on this country this October with select dates in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
HEAVY caught up with founding member and frontman from ORGY Jay Gordon and guitarist Carlton Bost to find out just we should expect.
"Your guess is as good as mine," Bost laughed when asked why the band has neglected us for so long. "I've been there with another band, and it was amazing, so I guess better late than never for ORGY to get there. We're totally excited and just finished a two-month run with COLD, and it's a really great package."
In the full interview, we discuss Orgy's upcoming tour in Australia, including the tour dates, bands they will be performing with, and the energetic stage show and setlist. We also talked about the band's history and the challenges of relearning old songs for the tour, as well as their excitement about playing new material. Jay Gordon reflected on the band's origins and their impact on the industry, including their relationship with Jonathan Davies and his label.
The conversation also touched on future music releases and tour plans, including a record deal with Golden Robot Records and a partnership with the band Cold. Despite uncertainty about their fan base in Australia, the group expressed gratitude and anticipation for the upcoming shows.
