Sugar & Spice With JAY GORDON And CARLTON BOST From ORGY

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.
