The Funk Has Officially Been Broughten!

January 27th, 2009

So I wrote a lovely little blurb plugging the Orgone show on the 16th of January at Nectar and I felt the show was so wonderful I just had to write a little something to sum up the experience.

Yes, Orgone in fact killed it. They rocked super hard, as did all acts on the bill. The overall vibe of the night is what was so fun to behold and be a part of. I am a frequenter of Nectar to put it mildly. I go to a show there at least once, if not twice a week (Shouts to Aarika, Meli and Ken!). The thing that inspired me about this particular night was the diversity of the crowd compared to most of the shows I’ve seen there (mainly cause i like the hippity hop). Mostly late 20′s to late 30′s folks all there to get down and party. It was a whole lot of fun and the place was PACKED. (Boooooo on you, Kevin.)

Orgone brought the funk like I knew they would. They opened up with two or three instrumental jams to warm up the crowd and once Fanny made her way up on to the stage it felt like the doors were about to blow off the hinges. The can jam like none other. Weaving between classic funk covers like Funky Nassau and Sophisticated Honky, while also some great cuts I hadn’t been hipped to yet. They had great song choices, all building the crowd to a frenzy. They took a short intermission at a perfect time – allowing me to get a fresh beverage and do some networking outside on the patio – and then came back with the ruckus and SHUT. SHIT. DOWN. The great part for me was to witness this up close and personal. The thing I love about Nectar is that it is a fairly good sized venue that feels very intimate. To be able to catch the ‘performance faces’ of the bass and guitar players was priceless. I’ll let the pics tell the rest of the story…

Also shouts to my man Daniel Lustig for the pics. He took some great shots that capture the energy these guys bring when they perform.

For those that missed out…um…uh…sorry?
