Kighkey DeyGogh Kighkey, a lifelong resident of Bronx, New York, has played in a wide variety of bands since the age of twelve. Although his main talent is his virtuoso bass playing, he has also performed live as a guitarist, backing, and lead vocalist. Among his past bands are Asylumix, a five-piece rock cover band; Paradox, a top 40 dance band; Crybaby, a female fronted progressive rock band and Overplay, an experimental jazz fusion group. Kighkey's playing is augmented by the wide variety of variations on the traditional bass instruments which he has mastered. When performing, at one moment he will be playing a 5, 6 or 8-string electric bass, the next an acoustic upright, or his custom made five-string electric mini upright. At other times Kighkey can be seen working the fretless or acoustic fretless. And when things get really wild, he breaks out the midi-bass from which emanates every sound known to digital technology. When on stage, not only are audiences wowed by his amazing playing abilities, but his energetic performance style is equally stunning. He often runs from side to side of the stage, kicking his legs high into the air, or mugging and camping for the crowd. His stage costumes range from a purple executioners hood and matching purple boa, to pants with day-glo slinkies dangling from the legs. Kighkey says his goal is always to keep his mind open to new styles of music and to creatively express himself while keeping up the energy and enthusiasm which drive The Imperial Orgy's heavy rhythm section.
