artist The Organizers

STYLE! Taking chisel and hammer in hand, and style and substance to heart, the Organizers are an ongoing exercise in the aesthetics of form, movement and sound.  Born in the port city of Saint John, NB, and set adrift in a sea of sonic flotsam and jetsam, early showgoers could often be heard tossing about such names as the fab four, the Jam, and Elvis Costello in reference to the group’s ever-evolving sound (although, I think the fellows themselves would lean a little more left of field, towards some amalgamation of Love and the Stooges). Either way, over three years hence the Organizers continue to both massage and molest that precious idiot of idioms, the whirling dynamo known as pop music. Often, theirs is a razor sharp sound of today, scraped from the boot sludge of forty years of rock & roll, R&B, and punk, engineered towards the evolution of organically based dance music. Other moments, the fellows find themselves trolling watercolour horizons and pastures of asphalt for traces of Dylan’s defiant muse.  Further hobbies and interests include pop art, mod, punk, auto-destructive psychedelia, and deep, blue roots; honest words, snapping beats and rumbling bass; mediums and messages, red wine, piss, vinegar and pastiche. Live, all instruments and sounds draw from a percussive philosophy, with a tight economy of rhythm.
