THE ORGAN



Origin: Vancouver, BC
Category: LOST IN THE WILDERNESS
Cherchez La Moose: Although The Organ only released one album, they managed to develop a strong cult following and make their mark on the Canadian indie scene. They were ripping off The Smiths before most other bands in the 2000's started ripping off The Smiths, so The Organ gets props for that one. Katie Sketch was more than a poster child; her sexuality and androgynous look grabbed headlines (and also landed her some high profile modeling gigs), but her voice was quite powerful and well-suited for the music she was making. Memorize The City is what I consider to be their best single; I wish we could have heard more.
