Los Angeles band Orgone began as five friends with a mutual love for classic funk acts like Booker T. & the MG's, The Meters, and Funkadelic making instrumental tracks with the same soul and passion that defined the sound of the genre's most memorable artists. Releasing their self-titled debut in 2002, the band caught the attention of funk fans with their grooving soulful instrumentals and incendiary live sets. After adding a horn section in 2006 and sultry Louisiana soul singer Niki J. Crawford, Orgone has toured extensively, opening for artists like the Roots, Al Green, Thievery Corporation, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, and Gil-Scott Heron.

Tonight, the band brings their energetic live show to Nietzsche's, combining elements of afrobeat, house, and classic dance grooves guaranteed to tear up the dance floor. Tickets are $10 presale and can be purchased here or for $12 at the door. Doors open at 7pm, show starts at 8. 21+

There are 10 members in the funk band Orgone... which is just enough to make Nietzsche's insanely funky and fun tonight.  Trust me, its the place to be tonight.  I saw these guys (and girl) perform at Mountain Jam last summer so obviously you can trust my opinion. The band started in LA around 1999 and existed mostly as hip hop backing bands.  They then released an album in 2001 and added vocalist Fanny Franklin.  Along with performing originals, they are also known to pull out old school funk covers of "Funky Nassau" and Issac Haye's "Do You Thing". They also toured as the opening band of one of my favorite acts right now, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.  So yea... its funky tonight at knee cheese.  Don't miss it.
