   About THE MIGHTY ORQ
The Mighty Orq has quickly risen to be one of Houston, Texas' biggest bands by combining the energy of classic southern rock with undeniable pop hooks & melodies. Influenced by legendary Texas bands like ZZ Top, Soulhat, & Kings X, the band has been able to reach out to a wide-ranging audience that continues to grow & diversify. The band is best known for their high energy live shows, where through their music they take the audience to the extreme edges of rhythm, melody, and dynamics. The release of the band's 2005 album, "Milk Money", was met with widespread critical acclaim both at home and in Europe. They have been actively touring throughout Texas, Europe, and the South the past four years, while always maintaining a rigorous 200+ shows per year. This daunting schedule has allowed the band to fine tune theirs into a razor sharp trio. Their new album, "To The Bone", was recorded in New Jersey with famed producer/engineer Ben Elliott(Eric Clapton, Keith Richards) at the helm. The band is readying the album for a September 2008 release on ZYX Music's "Pepper Cake" label. The release of the album will coincide with huge shows around the US, and another 18+ months of touring the world to support it. This is a task that the band is not afraid to take .. all, this will only bring more and more people to come see what the next "little ole band from Texas" is all about.
