InfluencesYour Mama
Sounds LikeA Hott Night “ORIGAMI IS ON THE MARCH”- PAUL STEWART, SUNDAY HERALD SUN “A BAND TO GET EXCITED ABOUT”-EVANSTON WADE, SPLENDID USA “If Sleater-Kinney and Le Tigre were to join forces, they'd probably end up somewhere near Origami's dance-inducing punk rock.” - Rebekah Ann Meek, VENUSZINE “Look out for Origami to make a BIG splash. Rhonda Simmonds is supposed to be a beast live, with a ferocity that is not to be outdone.” - (EA), PUNK PLANET “Origami bring with them a mighty brand of garage punk heavily echoing seminal ‘60s groups like The Kinks and The Sonics.” - Andres Jauregui, Performer Magazine

   About Origami
2006 saw Origami transplanted to San Francisco from Melbourne, Australia where, with a rejuvenated line up, they are busy supporting their brand NEW release LOVERS IN AMERICA mixed by Alex Newport (engineer for Mars Volta, At the Drive In etc.). Combining the raw energy of punk rock and no wave with the pop sensibilities of 60’s surf Origami’s front woman Rhonda Simmonds has gained a reputation as one of the most dynamic performers around, passionate ‘call and response’ vocals with angular tag-team bass / guitar lines of Natalie White and Sarah Blaby/Ilana Goldbags backed by the incredible driving beats of drummer Matthew Snyder/Lara Bartolo, Origami love making the kids dance. Origami released their debut full length albums Measure Up recorded by Nick Carroll (who engineered the first two Sleater-Kinney releases) and Please Exit Quietly recorded and produced by Nick Carroll, Greg Wadley and Rhonda Simmonds in 2001/late 2003, the bands first single 'She's got the Rhythm' received national and international radio play the band followed this with an extensive four-month tour of the USA, Australia and Europe. During those four months the band supported and toured with the Breeders, Sleater-Kinney and The Gossip to name a few. Origami then released Cruising for a Bruising a little over a year later This EP contained the single, "Frisco Disco" which received high rotation on Australia's biggest youth radio station Triple J, their second single ‘O Beach Party’ (also received high rotation on music video show 'Rage'). That year after touring Australia and Japan the band were invited to play the biggest touring festival the Big Day Out alongside other Australian bands such as Wolfmother and international acts The Beastie Boys. In July-August 2005 during the relocation and drummer search the band were then asked to support Le Tigre and Electrelane in the USA. Since relocating to San Francisco, Origami have played with bands including Be Your Own Pet, The Grates and Erase Eratta. Origami's hard working ethic has put them in over 11 countries (some multiple times) with a strong catalog of releases under their belts.
