moe. and Orgone played at the Fonda last Friday and Saturday, and I was at the Friday night show. This was undoubtedly one of the greatest concerts I have ever been to! Orgone kicked off the show with a groovin' hour-long set. They immediately laid down some heavy, instrumental funk jams that got me and the audience dancing. Their grooves were intricate, punctuated by horn stabs and carried forward by Latin percussion from a guy that looked like Dr. House. Then, Orgone brought up guest vocalist Fanny Franklin whose soulful and upbeat singing complemented the music beautifully, and got the crowd to get down even harder. As their set went on, Orgone revealed another side to their unique sound by turning up the fuzz and playing some more spacey stuff, hearkening back to Pink Floyd's funkier jams, setting the stage perfectly for the main act, moe.
