Bio
Organ Yank formed in 2007 at Oberlin College. What started off as a conservatory ensemble quickly turned into a campus sensation, playing to packed audiences at both concert halls and parties. Their songs bridge the gap between art and pop music, mixing unrestrained yet precise musical experimentation with melodies in the form of hard-hitting rock, catchy jazz, dirty blues, and highly danceable funk. Comparisons have been made with artists ranging from Parliament to Jimi Hendrix, from Miles Davis to Steely Dan. Drawing on their diverse influences, Organ Yank puts on highly acclaimed live shows that grip audiences with their energy and execution. .... "Songs flowed from a controlled chaos to a smooth and melodious tone with incredible ease." --The Oberlin Review .. "Great energy! I loved every minute of it!"--Pat Martino .. "Organ Yank is awesome!"--Ruth Underwood, former percussionist of Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention .. "If there ever was a band to embody the term 'auditory orgasm,' Organ Yank would be it." --fearlessandloathing.com .. With an established fan base and a 2008 demo under their belt, Organ Yank went back in the studio, spending six months recording and producing their first full-length album "We Are Organ Yank." At once ambitious, eclectic, and "endlessly repeatable," "We Are Organ Yank" delivers the energy of a live concert with the polish of a studio product. .. Building on the success of recent shows in Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and New York, Organ Yank is bursting onto the music scene, performing at clubs and colleges across the country. Stay tuned for their upcoming January Tour! ..
