The musicians of ORGONE have played together for the past 10 years; self schooled, shaping their musical voice as a solid unit of guys who hang, spin records, and jam out their shared inspirations. Orgone and it's members have recently played and toured for the Pharcyde, Little Brother, Pharoahe Monch, Plantlife, and the Breakestra. Whenever they've had the chance between gigs, they've gotten together to play the stuff they all hold close to their hearts and share a deep love for, putting their own gritty take on tunes by the likes of the JBs, the Meters, Grant Green, Booker T. & the MGs, Funkadelic, & Professor Longhair, just to name a few.

With a rooted sense of funk, R&B, reggae, and rock, and an intimate understanding of each others playing, ORGONE can take a song or spontaneous jam and twist it into something new and exciting every time they play it. ORGONE slides through style and dynamic changes seamlessly and effortlessly, continuously injecting whatever they play with their own heavy brand of raw funk power.

Their debut self titled cd "ORGONE" and live show is laced with the aspects of dj culture, afro beat, soul, jazz, and experimental funk wizardry.

Down home, transcendental, tough, gritty funk... ORGONE is a road trip from New Orleans to Memphis: New York soul jazz to the new West Coast funky jam band scene. Wanna ride?
