In the late 1990s you couldn't turn on the radio with out hearing Orgy's cover of the New Order song 'Blue Monday." But what do you do when the electro-dance-pop hit that made you platinum, cross over rock stars just isn't quite electro enough? Well, if you're original Orgy guitarists Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh, you form Julien-K, a side project that isn't really a side project.
I met with Ryan and Amir at a recording studio deep within in LA's San Fernando Valley, where I interrupted their take-out...
Very good interview and I'm happy to see this band getting some attention. I waited for that record since this project came into the spotlight and despite the long wait it definitely has become one of my favourites. Plus both Ryan and Amir have been a huge musical influence to me as guitarist since I bought a copy of Orgy's Candyass some 11 years ago! Now I can't wait to hear the Dead By Sunrise cd!. Thanks for this really cool interview!
as Bev Antain says, I'm so happy too to see how this band getting some attention. I follow orgy from 10 years ago, they let me a lot musical influence and image, now i follow Julien-k, this guys are amazing! awesome interview, thanks auren
I love it! I'm a fan of Orgy from way back, and I'm super excited to see Amir and Ryan doing new stuff! And the possibility of seeing Orgy come back it frikkin schweet!
