Chester doesn’t have a “solo project” but it’s a side project called Dead By Sunrise with the members of Julien-K. Dead By Sunrise is considered a full band and thus it isn’t a solo project. They will probably come out in 2009 but they’ve already had their live premiere at this year’s Club Tattoo Anniversary Party where they performed three songs. Ryan Shuck helped to produce the debut album but he is not “the producer”. But he’s playing guitar and sings backing vocals.
Julien-K, in turn, is the current project of Ryan Shuck (who is still guitarist in Orgy) and Amir Derakh (who is still guitarist in Orgy as well) which was formed in 2003. Check their music out at http://www.myspace.com/julienk – they’re just awesome!!
Oh, and by the way, I don’t know why some people think Orgy is “death rock” but to me, this expression just doesn’t fit at all. Let’s call it “electronic rock” or “synthie rock” or maybe “industrial rock” but “death rock” seems to be improper.
No hard feelings – I just wanted to get this right since I’m kinda into all stuff of both musicians.
