ORKIS (album release show!)

TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR! PLEASE NOTE: For the safety of our customers, we will be requiring proof of full COVID vaccination (or negative rapid COVID test), to enter the venue until further notice. More details at holocene.org/vaccine Orkis is the Electro-pop Synthwave project of artist and producer, Joseph Lanker featuring angelic songstress Casey Hoelting. Currently based in Portland, Oregon, their music is rooted in piano composition, enhanced by visual and performance art. The debut record 'Afterbath' was released in April 2019 as an eclectic mixture of atmospheric environments, industrial percussion, and avant-pop. Orkis then released videos for "Pivot" and "Shadows", two hit singles from the album, and began performing throughout the west coast. Since then, Joseph has produced music and videos receiving accolades from Postpunk.com , Xray.fm , Mercury magazine, and the Berlin label, Occultists. Orkis' second record "VISCERA" will be released Friday April 29th, 2022 on all platforms. The 10 track album is a dynamic combination of Trip-hop, Ambient techno, Industrial glam rock, and nods to 80's synth-pop. Orkis will inspire the urge to dance with a filthy pout, inviting a very 'visceral' experience. Orkis will be performing songs from "Viscera" and more, at the album release show at Holocene in PDX on May 4th, 2022. Stay in the loop for upcoming tour dates and much content. www.orkismusic.com @orkis_music @orkis.tra
