Electro Rock band Orgy entered the public consciousness in the late ’90s with its harrowing, hard-hitting cover of “Blue Monday,” a 1983 hit by legendary Electro Pop group New Order. Fronted by enigmatic frontman Jay Gordon, Orgy caught the attention of Korn singer Jonathan Davis, who signed the band to his Reprise-distributed Elementree Records and released Orgy’s debut album, Candyass (which featured the New Order cover), in 1998. On the road, the band’s tightrope walk between heavier Rock and textural Electronica allowed Orgy to play for a wide range of audiences — it may be the only group to ever open for both Korn and Love and Rockets.
