Several years ago there was a band out of Vancouver called The Organ that I could just not stop listening too. Music was a little boring for me at the time and it had been a while since I was really excited about something I had heard (keep in mind that a long time for me a like a month or so). I loved their debut album Grab That Gun. Mainly because vocally, singer Katie Sketch is superb. She has one of the best voices out there. The Organ is anything but upbeat and a lot of reviews labelled their music as 'depressing' or something you listen to on a rainy day when you're about to commit suicide. To me, their music is much more than that. It's actually pretty special. And yes, the organ is a dominate instrument in the songs.
Sadly the band decided to call it quits. What makes things worse is that the new songs The Organ began playing at their shows sounded terrific and a new release from them would have been fantastic. However, I don't think that makes the band any less relevant. And singer Katie Sketch seems to have another project in the works called Mermaids. I haven't heard anything about them and I have no details yet but I am interested to see what they produce. Until then I will remind people how great The Organ were and hopefully introduce them to a few new people.

Hi their, I absolutely adore your page of The Organ. Especially Toronto in the background as a picture "Whole". I thank you for putting up this site so I can come and get lost in my very own private sanctuary and that I look to Toronto because I haven't seen it's beauty in a long,long, time.
