The band Orgy releases their first documentary of the band’s life on DVD. It includes many behind-the-scenes home video footage of their antics inter-cut with concert footage. There are shots of fan and crowd reactions to the band and the concerts. It’s fun to see how enthusiastic the band members are before and after each show.
The documentary is divided into three chapters: Candyass, Vapor Transmission and Punk Statik Paranoia. Each chapter chronicles the band’s three album releases.
The first chapter, Candyass, plays like Jackass with some of the band members riding bicycles off of roofs onto snow and falling down stairs. The biggest moment for the band is shown during its first televised performance of “Blue Monday” during an MTV Spring Break special. The coolest scene is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Orgy’s music video “Stitches.” Too bad the footage isn’t longer.
The second chapter, Vapor Transmission, includes some of the band’s actual recording sessions, which is almost nonexistent in the first chapter. We see individual recording sessions of the band members and a whole tracking session for the song “Sonic.” The coolest scene of this chapter is the band’s experiments with the song “Vapor.” It isn’t too in-depth or expansive, but it’s cool to see musicians let loose with their ideas.
There is a behind-the-scenes sequence on the making of the futuristic music video “Fiction (Dreams In Digital).” There is a cameo of Alien Ant Farm playing with Orgy’s instruments.
The third chapter, Punk Statik Paranoia, chronicles the time during the band’s making of its third album. There is a shot of Amir drinking a scorpion drenched in tequila. There is also a mock Corona Light commercial involving the band playing golf. Most of the band, I might add, aren’t good at golf.

I'm so excited that Orgy came out with a documentary. This is just the kind of exposure they need. They are by far my favorite band and I wish there was more material about them available. Now I'm just waiting for a concert tour to hit Oregon!

I wish Orgy would come to Australia! And I can't seem to get a DVD that will play on machines here either! Damn it! Orgy kick ass, always have and always will, the sit alongside Syatem of a Down as one of my favorite bands, they are also just as origional, which really is saying something! It's great to see bands like these breaking the mould and still managing to kick ass and even go platinum! I sincerely hope orgy will be around making music for a long time!
