Orgone is an 8-piece soul machine driven by Dan Hastie and Sergio Rios, once two kids from the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles united by a hunger for raw soul recordings.  While the musicians began by covering Booker T. & the MGs, The Meters, and other giants of soul, they eventually carved out a sound all their own.  Drawing on their love of Funkadelic, Santana, Muscle Shoals, and all things Stax, the duo sought to create the band that, if they were to hear for the first time, would be their instant favorite.  After living and working as session musicians for many years, they were still unable to find a studio that adequately captured their warm, gritty sound, so they decided to make one.  KillionSound Studios was hand-crafted as Orgone’s hub and home studio where they continue to create (including playing on a handful of Grammy-winning songs), rehearse, and record with Rios at the helm as chief engineer and Hastie as co-producer.

By teaming up with fiery soul singer Adryon de León, the band discovered the secret weapon that would take their sound to new heights.  With de León, Hastie on keys, Rios on guitar, and drummer Sam Halterman as the backbone, a deeply-rooted family of LA musicians makes up the rest of Orgone— Dale Jennings, bass, Will Phillips, percussion, Darren Cardoza, trombone, and JJ Kirkpatrick, trumpet.

The band’s never-ending lust for music - with Hastie, also a DJ, as head crate-digger - keeps them passionate about bringing new (and vintage) inspiration into the studio to produce the analog California Soul realness that Orgone stands for.

Orgone’s live show is fueled by appreciation for their ferocious, loyal fans and any and everyone who wants to get fired up, turned on, and sweat until they surrender.  The true voice of Orgone is raw soul and deep funk delivered honestly, always non-GMO and preservative-free.

Lucas Parker is a performing guitarist and studio musician based out of Kansas City, MO. He is the frontman, composer, and manager of rock-fusion project Lucas Parker Band as well as curator of a solo act featuring loop station and 8-string guitar. With multiple years of road experience and even more as a live session player, he has proved himself as a one of the most versatile guitar mercenaries in the midwest. He has since developed his own sound fusing bluesy Strat tones, rock licks, and traditional jazz language. Lucas Parker Band's debut single "Million Miles Away" is scheduled for release in February 2018.

The Desert Furs are a psychedelic rock band based in Boulder, Colorado centered around the music and songwriting of Billy Wassung.  Originally a home studio project shared between two friends living in different states, the sound continued to grow and mature into an diverse collection of songs, coalescing into the debut album, Soluble, released in 2019.  

Evoking a spacious sonic landscape, Soluble features seven songs traversing the musical realms of rock, psychedelia, indie-pop, and dance grooves.  It is a downtempo excursion into modern psychedelic rock with eclectic changes in rhythm and dynamics, and lyrics rooted in experience and inspired by love, laughter, and the esoteric.  The album features 3 longtime friends and musicians: Billy Wassung on guitar, vocals, and synth, Jon Studtmann on bass, and Matt Gader on drums.  Mixed and Mastered by Alex Scott at Hyphonic Studios in Denver, CO the album cover features a mixed-medium painting by talented Kansas City-based visionary artist, Lex Newtho, another longtime friend.

As dawn rises for The Desert Furs and friends happily reunite, the stage is set for the sound to blossom, groove, and expand into space.  Steeped in the likes of Pink Floyd, Jonathan Wilson, Cass McCombs, Israel Nash, and Jimi Hendrix, the band is stoked to hit the live scene and embark upon the next leg of the journey.
