Killion Floor

by Orgone

Orgone played here back in March, and it was an amazing show.  The band has a ton of energy on stage, and vocalist Fanny Franklin is a tough-talking dynamo.  At one point she left the stage to join the crowd, continuing to sing while setting up a Soul Train style dance competition.

I picked this, their first Ubiquity release, up after the show.  While the recorded version can't hope to transmit the manic energy of the band through the speakers (sometimes music has to be seen to be fully appreciated), this seventy-six minute, seventeen track disc is terrific.

Most of the pieces are instrumental, with Franklin only appearing on four songs, including 'Who Knows Who', perhaps the band's best song, and a wonderful cover of 'Funky Nassau'.  If you like modern Cali funk, this is a band you need to check out.
