Leaves you with a spiritual and sexual tingle."-Musician's Exchange a truly rare band with so much creativity - The Mustang Daily - San Luis Obispo, CA "...downright sacriligious"-"The Spinnaker Student Newspaper"* ingenious and creative, striving to push the envelope to another dimension. Their songs are hymn-esque in their hypnotizing mixture of soul-clenching lyrics and a melodic, danceable beat. Catchy music and thought-provoking lyrics are definitely excellent reasons to stay tuned into Caeser Pink & The Imperial Orgy. That is, if you dare. - The Los Angeles Loyolan "I have never seen anything like it! I was truly blown away. Caesar was a snarling, predatory beast-like man, venturing out onto the dance floor and enticing women to take a bite of his apple and writhe around with him. His persona was pure sexual confidence. The stage was his and the man was drawing out the crowd's sexuality almost beyond their control. At one point the stage was covered in bodies gyrating to the music, falling over each other and Caesar was in the middle of it all, a sinister smile playing around the corner of his lips. This was the magic man." -Bully Mag "I saw these guys and they were amazing." -Spite Magazine "A show you won't forget...one wild experience.

Newsprint doesn't do them justice. Looking sort of like an English cousin of Leonardo DiCaprio, Caeser Pink and his crew takes their mission to have a blast very seriously. Their pop-funk songs keeps fans dancing while giving them brain nourishment in the form of serious lyrical themes mouthed by the confident lounge singer cool of Caeser."-The Bronx Times "The Imperial Orgy is a creative feast.

The Imperial Orgy is an experience that broadens the mind and the senses."-Good Times Magazine "A multimedia spectacle combining alternative rock, funk, trip-hop, reggae and beat poetry into a hellacious dance groove. Beneath the visual spectacle, clever songs about social issues, sexual liberation, political awareness and more."-PA Musician Magazine "Caeser Pink is the enigmatic leader of a troupe of entertainers called The Imperial Orgy.

The best stadium show in the nation!" -Online TV Imperial Orgy shows are brilliantly staged. When caeser Pink takes the stage he masters the crowd like a snarling, predatory beast, occaisionally venturing out onto the dancefloor, enticing women to follow him back to the stage and writhe around with him.

The Imperial Orgy's sound has a striking diversity with no limitations. Caeser Pink and the Imperial Orgy want to blow your mind, but they will be content to make you stop and think for a second. -Ampcast.com |

Take my desire, break from your past You're the Goddess, I'm the beast Join me in life's wanton feast Although the members of the Imperial Orgy are tight-lipped when asked to explain the meaning of the name "the Imperial Orgy," these lyrics from Caeser Pink's Sex Salvation provide a telling clue. The orgy is the orgy of life's feast. Everything about the group displays an unbridled lust for creative freedom and a gleeful "f**k you" to the norms of convention. They are seething with a desire to inject pop culture with a healthy dose of fun and adventure. The Imperial Orgy is a band that follows its own path. While most artists succumb to the pressure to play only one musical style, The Imperial Orgy allow their creative impulses to lead them through a wide variety of musical genres, often mixing elements of different styles to create new sounds. Lyrically, bandleader Caeser Pink accepts no boundaries. His lyrics have a directness that challenges the listener. While some find his words too visceral, whether on personal or political terrain, his message aims straight for the heart and the mind, often asking the listener to question deeply held values or look inward at emotions most would rather put safely out of mind. Often his lyrics use humor to create biting social satire. The bandĖs live performances are as unyielding as their music. The group allows themselves the creative freedom to employ any artform they wish in order to express their ideas to the audience. The Imperial OrgyĖs live show is a multimedia barrage of music, performance art, video projections, theater, dance, and poetry, that pulls the audience into an experience that is part tent-show revival-meeting, part political rally, and part tribal fertility ceremony. Caeser Pinks stage presence has an animal magnetism that carries an aura of backwoods preacher or voodoo priest. He seduces the audience into lowering their inhibition and freeing themselves to express repressed desires. The Imperial Orgy creates a communal environment where everyone is free to express themselves. Audiences often have extreme love-or-hate reactions to The Imperial Orgy. On multiple occasions Caeser Pink has been physically attacked by audience members who were enraged by the bandĖs performances. At others times their concerts turn the cub dance-floors into body-strewn petting orgies. The Imperial Orgy began in 1994 at Penn State University's Film Department and was soon embroiled in controversy for it's nonconformist blend of music and a rtistry. Almost immediately gigs were canceled due to terrorist threats from Christian organizations, their posters have been banned from college campuses, radio stations have banned their recordings, womenĖs studies classes have debated the groupĖs presentation of gender issues, and their website was banned from its web hosting company for being Ïan insult to God.Ó Quickly the Imperial Orgy's musical message transformed into a lifestyle as the band's fans began to form a multi-cultural community exploring sexuality, alternative spirituality, and social activism. In 1995 the group moved to New York City where their fringe collective continued to grow. While most bands create recordings and perform concerts, The Imperial Orgy and their network of fans have also presented street theater protests in front of the New York Stock Exchange, created their own underground TV series that has been seen across the US and around the world, they founded their own non-profit organization that among other works, delivered free computer training to economically disadvataged people in rural Pennsylvania, and the group created a network of unique websites, one of which approaches the internet as an art-form to create an interactive experience for a journey of spiritual self discovery. Whether musically or socially, the Imperial Orgy excludes the prejudiced. The music fan who limits their tastes to a particular style of rock and roll, or who are uncomfortable with a socially open environment, will surely find some aspect of the Imperial Orgy offensive. But for those who have no restraints to hold them back from savoring the feast.... ...the Imperial Orgy is waiting
