Members
Chris O'Reily
Chris O'Reily is the guy who started the band. Known for his rediculously supernatural piano talents, he has been known to play 13-not chords and two counter melodies at the same time. This fact leads many leading experts to beieve that Chris O'Reily has 4+ hands and is not in fact the Orly owl. Before joining the band, his 1977 hit single Chris O'Reily plays Tarzan Boy by himself brought him international acclaim as it rose to the top of the Icelandic charts. He decided to form the band in 1988 because he realized that he in fact could not also play the harmonica, string ensemble 1+2, halo and cello. He reluctantly began to hire people.
Yanni
Yanni was the first guy that Chris O'Reily hired. Arguably the second most important guy in the band, he has a lot of gravity in band decisions. He also has a sexy headshot featured on the left of this article. Chris O'Reily hired him after their sucessful combined effort with Young Link in the 1986 one-hit-wonder Yanni and Chris O'Reily play Popcorn with Young Link. Yanni is sooo smart and is known for his moody String Ensemble 1 and 2 parts. He also is rumored to play Synth String 1 and 2 sometimes.
Yo Yo Ma
Yo Yo Ma plays the cello. Even when the part really doesn't make any sense at all for the cello. Chris just thought it would be cool if Yo Yo Ma was in the band.
Master Chief
What can he say? Chris needed a Halo player, and who better than Master Chief himself?
Jean de Florette
A self-proclaimed harmonicist known for his slow ballads and that annoying song that plays throught he whole movie.
Guest Soloists
Young Link
Young Link has played a number of solos for the Orly Factor on his Ocarina, most prominently when the group played Popcorn.
Who is the dummer?
Who plays all of that mysterious percussion in the background of many of the Factor's songs? Many believe that it is in fact Larry Mullen of U2 in disguise. However, many also believe that it could be Scott Barksdale of Burlap to Cashmere and long-time 6th grade English teacher, as it is a percussionist, not nessicarily a drummer. Other theories include Tony Mcnaboe, Chuck Norris and Chris O'Reily with his feet.
