My band Organ Yank is giving a performance/video shoot at Warehaus West in Humboldt Park tonight. Should be a lot of fun! To kick things off here’s a video of me soloing on another Organ Yank song (not an original of mine, but of Alex Cohen’s, our guitarist). Enjoy!
Here’s another live vid of a song from the new Organ Yank record Hard (I love posting live vids for y’all!!!!! OMG! Can’t you tell!?!?!?!) Anyways, this is a song of multiple names, as it is called Amanda’s Song in this video and is called Mrs. Brey And Her Magnificent Kaleidoscope Of Delusions on the record. It features a drum solo by the newest member of Organ Yank, drummer Pete Manheim. I think he sounded awesome on it! Enjoy.
I really don’t know where I get all these crazy wardrobe schemes… Anyways, here’s a live recording of a song of mine, Mommy And Daddy. It’s off the new Organ Yank record Hard. Check out organyank.com for more details.
