this fellow is one of my new favorite artists. i play him every week on the show (somewhat cheating the local artists spot - but for good reason.). a.a. bondy mixes blues, folk, rock, and gospel into a wonderful conglomeration of sound. he has his foot in the door to the past with the window to the future opened. bondy is from birmingham, alabama, but he relocated to new york, i believe. so i've got some right to play him on the thirty. nonetheless... i also feel inclined to tell you that he is playing in the area soon. in fact, here is a tour schedule:
mar 26 2008 @ ann arbor, michigan
mar 27 2008 @ madison, wisconsin
mar 28 2008 @ covington, kentucky
mar 29 2008 @ nashville, tennessee

i want more.
Hi,
Could play the new CD by Caeser PInk & The Imperial Orgy? It's titled All God's Children and released on Chief Logan Records.
The Imperial Orgy is causing an uproar in the underground music scene by ignoring the rules of the commercial music industry and creating music that expresses Caeser Pink's iconoclastic message of freedom, rebellion, and liberation.
This is music that will never be supported by the mainstream music industry or have a large corporate budget to promote it.
We are looking for brave and independent-minded DJs and music directors who will go out on a limb and play music that holds true to the original free spirit of rock and roll, whether it is controversial, innovative, or hard for some people to understand.
Your support is greatly appreciated by the the entire Imperial Orgy Community.

Caeser Pink and the Imperial Orgy is unlike any musical phenomenon one could find. If Bob Dylan had started writing songs in this era, this is what he'd have written. The truly original lyrical performance is brilliant; the words are not just lyrics to a song, but pure poetry. They are not just heard or read, they are felt and experienced. No one walks away untouched. This band does not just make music, they do not just make records; they create art. The artist's goal is not to make friends, but to make thinkers. -The Wisconsin Stoutonian
A listener should expect a sound that exceeds boundaries. Gospel Hymns for Agnostics and Atheists goes beyond crossing boundaries, Pink and his crew don't even acknowledge the boundary's existence. -The North Dakota Spectrum

"...downright sacriligious"-"The Spinnaker Student Newspaper"*
"I have never seen anything like it! I was truly blown away. Caesar was a snarling, predatory beast-like man, venturing out onto the dance floor and enticing women to take a bite of his apple and writhe around with him. His persona was pure sexual confidence. The stage was his and the man was drawing out the crowd's sexuality almost beyond their control. At one point the stage was covered in bodies gyrating to the music, falling over each other and Caesar was in the middle of it all, a sinister smile playing around the corner of his lips. This was the magic man." -Bully Mag
Whatever this band is doing, it's effective. The Imperial Orgy is one of those bands that is hell bent on doing everything possible to allow themselves total creative freedom. Caeser Pink easily seduces everyone in the audience with his animalistic stage presence...pink is a little bit more than just hypnotizing...he's a new rock and roll icon for the millennium, and most definitely ahead of his time.-Dig This Real Magazine
"A most original, original band. Newsprint doesn't do them justice. Looking sort of like an English cousin of Leonardo DiCaprio, Caeser Pink and his crew takes their mission to have a blast very seriously. Their pop-funk songs keeps fans dancing while giving them brain nourishment in the form of serious lyrical themes mouthed by the confident lounge singer cool of Caeser."-The Bronx Times
"The Imperial Orgy is a creative feast. Lead vocalist Caeser Pink exudes an air of self-assurance and sex appeal reminiscent of John Travolta's character in Grease. Their music embodies a free spirit that infects everyone in the audience. The Imperial Orgy is an experience that broadens the mind and the senses."-Good Times Magazine
"A multimedia spectacle combining alternative rock, funk, trip-hop, reggae and beat poetry into a hellacious dance groove. Beneath the visual spectacle, clever songs about social issues, sexual liberation, political awareness and more."-PA Musician Magazine

The best stadium show in the nation!" -Online TV
...it's just filthy - this is nothing but trouble and shouldn't be condoned -Eric W. Seager of Hippo Press
Imperial Orgy shows are brilliantly staged. When caeser Pink takes the stage he masters the crowd like a snarling, predatory beast, occaisionally venturing out onto the dancefloor, enticing women to follow him back to the stage and writhe around with him. His persona exudes extreme sexual confidence and he can really belt out a tune - The Guide to Erotic New York
The Imperial Orgy is a multimedia onslaught of music, video, artwork, and performance. Mr. Pink is the tall, dark, and devilishly handsome frontman. The Imperial Orgy follows his lead and tries their hardest to break down the boundaries that keep you and me from partaking in the feast of life. The Imperial Orgy's sound has a striking diversity with no limitations. Caeser Pink and the Imperial Orgy want to blow your mind, but they will be content to make you stop and think for a second. -Ampcast.com
