Origami Angel on Tour
Emo-rock duo Origami Angel are bringing their invigorating, angst-filled brand of music to the stage on a nationwide tour in 2022. Their infectious sound delivers emo-pop, screamo and electronic undertones to die-hard fans who call themselves the Gami Gang. The band's 2021 album is titled GAMI GANG as an apparent ode to their loyal following. Origami Angel is known for their signature lighthearted, lyrical humor, often in the form of hilarious puns. Fans can expect elements of metal with power chords layered over double-bass drums and vocals referencing pop culture, viral memes, video games, and cartoons. Onstage, they deliver an air of nostalgia and adolescent angst that only emo can achieve. Don't miss the duo performing high-energy, hook-filled hits from GAMI GANG in fall 2022 on the GAMI GANG Tour.
Origami Angel Live in Concert
Emerging emo rock band Origami Angel was formed in 2017 by singer and guitarist Ryland Heagy and drummer Pat Doherty after their previous band Idle Empire parted ways. The Washington, D.C.-based duo wasted no time putting out their first EP, titled Quiet Hours, via Chatterbot Records in 2017. The pair quickly gained a fanbase, the self-described Gami Gang, who were drawn to lyrics that deliver a lighthearted take on the agony of youth, young love and a troubled world. Heagy and Doherty have cited their influences as ranging from '90s rock legends Barenaked Ladies to composer Buddy Miles. Origami Angel went on to release two more EPs, including Doing The Most in 2018 and the Pokémon-themed Gen 3 in 2019, before working on their first full studio album. In 2019, their breakthrough debut album, Somewhere City, earned popular and critical acclaim. Pitchfork gave the pair a nod with a not-too-shabby score of 7/10. In 2021, the group released a second double-album titled GAMI GANG under Counter Intuitive Records. The release improved upon their previous Pitchfork score, earning a 7.3/10.
