Bobby briefly joined Snake River Conspiracy for a while, and Jay formed his own independent record label, D1 Music, with his father. In 2004, Orgy's third album, "Punk Statik Paranoia," was released under D1, but with little to no radio play or recognition from the mainstream music media.
Ryan and Amir have also started a side project known as Julien-K, with a much more electronic focus, and have released a song featuring the vocals of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park on the recent Underworld Evolution soundtrack. They have since formed the project Dead By Sunrise with Bennington. Amir Derakh was immortalised in the Coal Chamber song Amir of the Desert. He produced their debut album. Jay Gordon appeared on the follow up "Chamber Music".
When asked for an Orgy update in late July 2008, Shuck informed fans that Orgy's return is still underway but their priority is getting the much delayed Julien-K album released. During a video interview at the annual Californian NAMM 2009 convention, Derakh mentioned a 2010 Orgy reunion.
On March 30, 2010, through a video to his Julien-K, Dead By Sunrise, and Orgy followers, Shuck informed that there are plans for a tour in 2010. On October 25, 2010, Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh informed on the Julien-K blog that "As of Oct. 26th we will no longer be part of Orgy. Jay will continue making music without the original members. On October 30, 2010, Jay Gordon released a statement via his official Facebook profile stating that he still owns the Orgy name and wants to continue forth creating new material for the band. Jay wrote that all previous members of the band were too busy with numerous side-projects to continue with the original band.
On November 7, 2011, Blabbermouth.net published a news story detailing the bitter feud between vocalist Gordon and guitarists Shuck and Derakh that has spiraled out of control after Gordon revealing his plans to assemble a band of musicians and begin touring under the name Orgy.
On February 3, 2012, it was announced that Orgy would embark on a five-week run titled the Bad Blood Tour. The new lineup features members of Deadsy, Snot, and Run Run Run. Vocalist Jay Gordon is the only original member of Orgy appearing on this tour; the support acts are the Texas-based One-Eyed Doll Cleveland-based industrial metal band Ventana and Faultline from Richmond, Virginia. The band has reportedly been in the studio in recent weeks recording new material, including a collaboration with Skrillex. This was confirmed after they cancelled the last five shows of their tour.
On August 4, 2012, Orgy linked to a 30 second demo of a new song, "Grime of the Century" via their Twitter and Facebook page.
In 2013, Orgy embarked on the Wide Awake and Dead Tour with Vampires Everywhere! and Davey Suicide.
Grime of the Century
Orgy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it gets cold now, on the inside
And you stand up, brings empathy in you
... crime, caught up in the void,
Get ready, let's go it's time to kill the noise
I can't wait to get out of the grime of the century
Take off your look at me
One thing we both know it's true, can't continue this way
'Cause we can find a way out of the grime of the century
Look at the love you show me online
Cause everything's cool on your side
Till it gets cold now in the inside
All your scandals bring out the bitch in you
White lies, you selfish little boys
Vlay as a game with the kids on the boulevard
I just can't wait to get out of the grime of the century
Chorus:
Take off your look at me
As I'm already over in your head
One thing we both know it's true, can't continue this way
'Cause we can find a way out of the grime of the century
Keep it on the boulevard, just one last noise
I can't wait to get out of the grime of the century
As I'm already over in your head
But there's something that we both know for sure
Continue, continue lies
Can't wait to find a way out of the grime of the century
Take off your look at me
As I'm already over in your head
One thing we both know it's true, can't continue this way
'Cause we can find a way out of the grime of the century
The song "Grime of the Century" by Orgy deals with the theme of the apparent disconnect between people's public and private lives. The opening lines suggest that someone is observing the singer and acting as though everything is fine, but the singer can sense a coldness within. The chorus reinforces this by stating that both parties already know that things can't continue the way they have been. The grime of the century is a metaphor or image that represents the pollution or dirt that has accumulated in the singer's life, and they want to get away from it.
The song highlights the consequences of living a double life, specifically in the age of social media. In the lines "look at the love you show me online, 'cause everything's cool on your side, till it gets cold now in the inside," the singer seems to be referring to a partner who publicly displays affection but privately is much colder or more distant. The line "vlay as a game with the kids on the boulevard" suggests that this relationship is not healthy and may be damaging to others as well.
One interpretation of the chorus is that it's an encouragement to end the facade or pretense and acknowledge the truth of the situation. The singer can't wait to get out of this kind of environment, but it's not clear whether that means ending the relationship, changing one's behavior, or just escaping from the town/city/country where these problems exist.

The guys in the new configuration of ORGY want to thank all of you for your support. So far of the 22,000 plus views 239 likes to 19 dislikes seems to be a favorable reaction. There are those who don't accept change very well and we respect their opinion. With that said Happy Trails Amigos, until we meet again!!

Thanks Mindy. Jay restarted ORGY because so many of you wanted more music and touring. After 7 years of waiting and not spending any time recording or planning new activities for the band he made a very tough decision to move forward with the band he was instrumental in developing along with his band mates. Jay owns the band name so he wants to name and legacy to live on. He will never forget the original members nor is he trying to over look them. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! New ORGY record/tour 2013!!!
Mister Faust

I have thoroughly missed this band. Saw them a few times in Bakersfield way back in the day and caught them on the Sugar Ray tour as well as Family Values 98' and most recently at the Sunset Music Festival. Stitches is still one of the greatest songs ever written. This song is sick. I love the synth and the bass. I'm excited to see these bad ass bands from the 90's bringing their flair back to the mainstream. Cannot wait to see them again.

Orgy. You were my teenage inspiration for my style, for my career path, and my musical direction. Having once become a hair stylist, and forming my path of musical diversity. Its amazing to see that you are still releasing new material and ever evolving all these years later. Thank you for keeping the dream alive!
