Cool Covers

Do you know what's cooler than looking for your favourite artists' new songs on the internet? Looking for people who do those songs better.

Different people bring out different vibes in the covers their do. A voice can change so much in a song, just as much as changing the music up.
I really love the sound of one instrument and one good voice in a song. In a way you're detached from the production and cool hooks and you're left with the raw basics of the song. The melody and the lyrics.

Here are some covers I think are rad. 

This first one is a song I've wanted to cover on my own for like, ever. Firstly, I don't have the balls to, and secondly I have to train my voice back to its former glory to even attempt it again. What's rad about this is what a surprise his voice is... well at least I think so.
Brendan Walsh covers The Early November - Ever So Sweet.

Sometimes you don't even need lyrics.
I present to you guitar prodigy, Sungha Jung. Lie on the floor/on your bed and pay this loud and just listen.
Sungha Jung covers Adele - Someone Like You

This band is just too rad. They've been at it since they were teenagers and have grown into dapper young men. The band is tight, their musical style is awesome and damn they can sing!
Our Last Night covers Katy Perry - Dark Horse

This one hits the heart strings. I found this a lovely treat from the lil' Kelly Buckerfield. When she tweeted the link I had no idea what to expect. Yoh, I was surprised.
I'm sure I speak for every man by saying that there's just something about a girl singing at a piano that does things to a guy.
Kelly Buckerfield covers Rihanna - Stay

This song gets me amped. I've been on a big swing, Motown vibe recently. When I heard The Coasters' version of this I must have listened to it about 20 times over. It's too groovy.

Anyway, I stumbled upon this video looking for covers of it. 

Couch Covers by The Student Loan covers The Coasters - Yakety Yak

Here's one just for shits and giggles, it's cute. It will make your heart explode with joy.
Gail Sophicha covers Bruno Mars - Lazy Song

I'd love to see what awesome covers you've heard. 

Bye.

Satanic Dagga Orgy

SHOCK! HORROR! How can you call your band that? Well, because we can.

What's in a band name? Yes, some have relevance to their music, others are gimmicky word plays or alliterations, but ultimately it's just a thing to call your thing that you make music with.

Before I go on, please, take a few minutes to hear us out.

So that's us, well, not all of us. We have since commandeered the skills of Clint, aka Grandpa, and Gianluca, aka Zam, on the bass and sex/percussion/jazz hands respectively. However, we are by no means satanists, we may partake in recreational herbal treatments, and we're slowly gathering enough numbers for an orgy...

We've played 10 shows (I think) to date, each one completely different, yet each one the same. The same in that we eventually got people dancing and laughing. Yes, we may have offended some, but the majority of people who watch us end up dancing or singing along. 

The Orj

At the risk of sounding like a musical ponce, I must inform you that people dancing is not a result of theoretically structured chord patterns and complimenting leads. I't's purely because people like to jol, and we are merely the facilitators of the jol, wherever it may be.



So please, let us facilitate a jol near you and we could end up having the best night ever.

Get down with The Orj.


Hit us up on Twitter for updates on shows, orgies and more.


We'll be playing the D-Day 4/20 Street Party in Maboneng on 40 April. It's what Jesus would have wanted: https://www.facebook.com/events/476947755740725/
