The lack of accurate information about The Gory Orgies can be a bit disconcerting at first to the average young scenester who usually likes to follow (or maybe “stalk” is the right word I’m looking for?) the activities of certain indie bands on their social media platform of choice. For starters, each of the band members’ chosen profane stage names as well as the story as to how the band came to be are so downright ludicrous that any attempt to extract from them even just a tiny bit of incontrovertible fact can lead to absolutely nowhere.
What we do know though is that The Gory Orgies are a garage punk band formed back in 2014 who had released a couple of EPs and called it quits last year but have surprisingly gotten themselves back in the gigging circuit as of late.
While The Gory Orgies’ sophomore EP called Gonzo Blitz has a slightly more polished sound that I would recommend for the total novice who has yet to get into the band’s music, their debut Cockadoodle EP bears a lot more appeal for someone like me who digs a lot of stuff put out by In the Red and Goner Records as its brash, lo-fi sound feels a lot more confrontational and is more representative of their mostly rowdy live sets (which prominently feature an electric percussion kit aside from the usual drums) that are very much what I honestly think the local indie music scene needs more of.
