   About Ory'hara

Ory'hara (pronounced just like it looks; Or-ee-HAH-rah) is a four-piece progressive rock ensemble from southern Connecticut. Formerly known as the Semi-Naked Entertainment Squad, Ory'hara has been experimenting with multitudes of different styles and blending all sorts of textures together to create a unique sound which cannot be forced into a particular genre. Dance-prog, pop-metal, funk-ska; no combination of genres can be used to describe the original blend of everything that Ory'hara brings to the table. The music changes drastically even from song to song, from crafted pop-punk with ska breakdowns like "Forty-Minute Drive" to the disco-fueled baroque-influenced "Auroran Drop Bear" and the funk-laden "Potassium Sorbate Jam". With the ideal of creating new music from old ideas and bringing in influences from such things as video games, poetry, surrealist art, and technology behind them, and combining these influences with modern concepts and introspective lyrics, they attempt to bring forth something new into the world. Their live shows are a reflection of that, as they will often abruptly burst into arrangements of popular themes or jam sessions that teeter on the edge of tonality without losing their spontaneous beauty.

Above all, Ory'hara is music for those who want to listen; who aren't content with passively sitting by and letting notes enter their ears without conscious thought. Every note is there for a reason, and the reason is to reflect on the amazing beauty that is latent in the art of music. Music appreciation - that's what it's all about, and that's what Ory'hara is trying to bring to the world.

Reviews:
"Semi-Naked Entertainment Squad, new to the Connecticut music scene as of June 2005, has been making some waves in the ska community. During and after the breakup of Three Years Accident Free, a former CT ska band, half of the group decided to start a side project. The group has taken the musical expertise of four musicians, Alex Dancho, Dave Holtz, Chris Hulton, and Bob Carroll, and blended it into 'super crazy video-game shirtless danceprog.'

By experimenting with a new mixture of styles and showing off excellent writing and playing, Semi-Naked Entertainment Squad has presented themselves as one of the up and coming bands in Connecticut. These guys have yet to reach their full potential recorded, but their novel live show is something to be seen and admired. You'll get the 'semi-naked' part, trust me; and while you're at it, check out the sample that SNES has to offer on Raising the Airship." -Todd Springer of CT Ska.com

Hola!

For those who haven't heard, we'll be in the studio these next few months to record a new album with the renowned reggae singer, Eyon Irie.
After that it's summer shows and writing songs for the next Orbits album!

In the meantime, if you don't have our self-titled cd yet, you can still pick it up on CD Baby and Itunes.

place don't tell the truth about what they think.
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that efren has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow jells from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them.LOSMO.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with jell bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from LOSMO.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his package and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at LOSMO.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the jells will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing.LOSMO.COM
