Combining the raw energy of punk rock and no wave with the pop sensibilities of
60's surf Origami's front woman Rhonda Simmonds has gained a reputation as one
of the most dynamic performers around, passionate 'call and response' vocals
with angular tag-team guitar / bass lines of Natalie White and Ilana Goldbag
backed by the incredible driving beats of drummer Matthew Snyder, Origami love
making the kids dance. Origami released their debut album Please Exit Quietly in
late 2003, the first single 'She's got the Rhythm' received national and
international radio play the band followed this with an extensive four-month
tour of the USA, Australia and Europe. During those four months the band
supported and toured with the Breeders, Sleater-Kinney, the Von Bondies, Mates
of State and The Gossip to name a few around the globe. Origami then released
Cruising for a Bruising a little over a year later This EP contained the single,
"Frisco Disco" which received high rotation on Australia's biggest youth radio
station Triple J, their second single 'O Beach Party' (also received high
rotation on music video show 'Rage'). The band packed its bags and did a
whirlwind tour of Japan ending the tour in Tokyo alongside Melt Banana. The
touring schedule did not let up and when the band returned home they were asked
to support The Organ (Canada) on their tour of Australia and then invited to
play the biggest touring festival the Big Day Out alongside other Australian
bands such as Wolfmother and international acts The Beastie Boys. In July-August
2005 during the relocation and drummer search the band were invited to support
Le Tigre alongside Electrelane in the USA. Since relocating to San Francisco,
Origami have played alongside bands including Be Your Own Pet, The Grates and
Erase Eratta and are busy earning themselves a growing following in their new
hometown.
Sometime in Summer 2006 CISSY began writing songs in a basement room in
Leeds 6 England. The weather was hot. The songs are hotter. CISSY'S
favourite game is Call and Response!! At the moment we are instrumental but
we might start singing in a bit. A trumpet might honk later too.....uh-huh.
Come taste the funky delicacies with us!! Matt Dixon also plays guitar in
TIGERS! and EIGER. Gav Montgomery used to play in FACTOTUM. Matt Woodward
has also played in KITO, ORIGAMI, HEY LITTLE COBRA! and THE LAPSE. Katie
Moore is a proper whizz on the keyboard, chep.
