or·gone n. A universal life force, a cosmic unit of energy, the creative force in nature.
Orgone n. A banging nine piece soul/funk ensemble from Los Angeles.
A staple on the festival circuit (High Sierra Music Fest, Moe.down, South by Southwest, Jazzfest, to name a few) Orgone has opened for the likes of Al Green and Sharon Jones, and toured with the Roots and Greyboy Allstars.
"With a rooted sense of funk, soul, afrobeat, deep rhythms and an intimate understanding of dj culture as well as each others’ individual talents, Orgone seamlessly slides through multiple styles and dynamic performances. The group continuously injects whatever they play with a heavy brand of raw funk power." (orgonespace.com)
They played an epic Harlow’s show back in January with local favorites Zuhg.
Thursday night, they make their triumphant return to the Midtown uber-venue with local possibly-even-more-favorites, our own merry band of funkateers, The Nibblers.
I thought it was an inspired pairing last time. This time it’s a stroke of genius.
If you happened to catch one of The Nibblers’ last few Harlow’s gigs, opening for soul-funk-superstars Big Sam’s Funky Nation and Trombone Shorty, you know what a treat this show will be.
If you didn’t, take my word for it.
There is nowhere else you wanna be on Thursday night.
Orgone and The Nibblers play Thursday night at Harlow’s, 9:30 PM, immediately following the Youtube Digitour at 6:30 (Featuring the Gregory Brothers of "Turtle Fence" and "Bed Intruder" fame).
Tickets are $12.00, ($15.00 for Digitour).
I’ll see you on the dance floor.
