Orson Biography
Orson formed in 2000 around a core of Jason Pebworth and guitarist George Astasio. The group took its name from Hollywood legend Orson Welles. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, they admired the great man's work (Jason: "Orson Welles was a maverick who took a lot of shit and made a lot of enemies yet his art stood the test of time."). Secondly, they saw a sandwich named after him and reckoned that the name just sounded good. "We were in a little coffee shop in Hollywood," Jason recalls, "and there was a list of sandwiches: the Greta Garbo, the Clark Gable, the Orson Welles. That got me thinking..." (Note: the sandwich was filled with Gouda cheese and pickles, and none of the band ate one.)
