Ory Angel

About Me


Hello world, I am Ory, and I'm not exactly human. I am a cultural concept and an intellectual projection, in short a persona. I materialize in what is casualy called 'the real world' sporadically, mainly to do gigs. For embodiment purposes I employ a super sexy boy, uk resident from Athens, which is totaly submissive to all my intends and inclinations.
On the cassette player you find two of my finest objects-d'-art: 'Friendly Advice', as produced and recorded by JJ who also does vox and bass, and, 'She's Coming Around', produced, recorded and performed as above. Third track comes from '04 and my time with Mighty Shakers, one of the hottest acts of the Athens r'n'r scene at the moment and still best friends.
Ory Angel uses at the moment:
------------------------------
Gibson guitars
Harmony Rocket guitars
Marshall amplification
Fender amplification
Tech21 effects
Gibson strings
Dunlop picks
Random leads.
Any of the above kind companies having the slightest hint of interest in endorsements please call me I never sleep.
