I had a great time developing and exploring the material live over the course of the tour, and we had a very positive response across the tour, so I am happy to say that we'll be taking the band live for the first time outside Europe next month with a few dates in South America…the ride continues….

O.R.k. "Inflamed Rides" Tour….the start...

At the time of writing this, I have just completed the first gigs on the current O.R.k. tour, and it's my first chance to reflect after a short, intensive rehearsal period followed by several consecutive dates and travel days.

It's truly amazing to be with my bandmates playing the "Inflamed Rides" material live, to receptive audiences, little more than a year after we first started our tentative steps in recording the music.
I am also pleased to say the there's plenty of room in the music to expand and explore the recorded tracks live. As expected, the chemistry is working…..

O.R.k. - Last Chance for Pre-Order.

Now approaching the end of the pre-order period for the debut O.R.k. album "Inflamed Rides".

Very pleased to report that "Inflamed Rides" is now at the manufacturing stage and we are on course to have the CD's shipped out to all pre-orderers in early to mid July.

For anyone unfamiliar, a little background on O.R.k.  can be found by clicking here to read an interview with Pat Mastelotto, Lef and myself on The Musical Melting Pot.



Our winning "Jellyfish" remix was Coldlight's "The Insignificant" which will be included as a bonus track on the CD:



We also decided to have Unungordium's "Manipulation" as an extra on the digital version of the album:



A select few journalists have been given access to the full album, and there below are some links to some early reviews:
