"Dance" EP pushed back

The release of our forthcoming CD EP 'Dance' has unfortunately been pushed back. A new release date will be announced soon. We're as pissed off as you are... But all I can say is... It's not in our hands.
We're also extending the deadline for the Fansite Competition (KOTN Assignment II). A new deadline for the sites will be announced soon along with the new release date for the EP.

We apologize for the delay.

More news soon!

Lou Gordon clears the air for the future of Orgy

The DVD is being edited and compiled by Bobby Hewitt and we have a tentative release date scheduled for February 8, 2005. If that isn't positive enough Jay & Paige are busy writing new songs for the FOURTH offering from the band. Yes I said the 4th because there will be another release in 2005 from Orgy. I heard a little of what's in the mix and I must say it is going to be different again and there will be changes in the sound again. That's what makes music good, variety and fresh changes. This will be no different in that respect. Who knows what you'll see or hear in this record. Many possibilities are under consideration.

We worked hard to keep the dream alive for the sake of the loyal family of friends. The community needs to be more aware of the current state of the music industry as a whole. Without serious sales there is nothing any band can do to release product. Because these guys have people that really love them the miracle stays alive.

I hope you guys open up your minds before opening your mouths and bashing everything they try to deliver. Life would be boring without change. If they sounded or looked exactly the same for every release that would prove them to be limited. They love to play and interact with you guys.

Look for a limited release of the DVD around November for holiday gifts here at PSP and at the D1 store. Keep the faith because they are determined to make and release another record. The distribution vehicle is in place and new songs are in the making.

As Corrie says, RAM Representin'...

Last weekend's show promotion went extremely well! Both 51 Peg and The Birthday Massacre have expressed their thanks to the fans who made it out for the tour, and I hope if you made it to the Jaxx show on Sunday, you were one of the lucky fans to recieve the first ever Radio-Active-Music.com sampler demo CD. This cd contained nine songs by RAM artists, and is a glimpse of what is to come with the official Radio-Active-Music.com Sampler CD that will be pressed in the next few months and sold here. Special thanks to Elise and 51 Peg, Lance and Mind Over Me, Disown, Kristyn Strange, Vanity Beach, 30 Seconds Of Shame, Jak and Club Decease, Dead Sexy, ION, and Jacob Bock for making this possible!
