Julien-K’s Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh have eaten from the vine of rock stardom. As members of Orgy, Shuck and Derakh experienced platinum success, sold-out tours, and the feeling of hearing one of their songs constantly on the radio thanks to multiple top 10 hits, including “Fiction” and “Stitches,” and their ubiquitous cover of New Order’s “Blue Monday,’ a track whose universal appeal led it to #1 on the Dance Music chart, a top 5 on the Modern Rock chart, and became a crossover hit on the Top 40 pop charts.
