Orgy came out of Los Angeles sounding like the end of the millennium had its own house band: synthesizers humming, guitars growling, and Jay Gordon's voice gliding cool over the top. Amir Derakh played guitar and synth, Ryan Shuck added more guitar, Paige Haley held the bass and Bobby Hewitt drummed, and on Reprise they carved out a slick, chilly corner of the industrial rock and nu metal boom.

Their 1998 debut, Candyass, made its name with a cover: a clanking, heavy-machinery overhaul of New Order's "Blue Monday" that bolted armor plating onto the old dancefloor favorite. The original "Stitches" proved they could write a hook of their own. Vapor Transmission, in 2000, went further down the digital rabbit hole, with "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)", "Opticon" and "Eva" as its singles.

The original five ran together until 2005. Gordon has carried the name on since with a new crew of players brought in from 2011.
