Great news :)



Had no idea where to put the next tidbit, so I decided it would be here, if you don't mind ;) :

At last month's Q awards, Neil Tennant (from the PSB) mentioned Moz's Autobiography with an interesting comment -

"When presenting the Q Idol award, he asks "Has everyone read Morrissey's book? Well he hasn't won..." "

Matt James - Drummer of Gene talks about The Smiths comparisons

as part of a Q and A for the upcoming Gene reissues.



Gene were a good little band in the way The Bluetones and BlackBox recorder were. To give them their due they are the best of the Moz soundalike groups.
Still basically shit though most of the fans are just Moz fans. The singer is shit though, sounds like he sings through his nose, looks a bit like a pig and the most unnatural moz alike out there, his try to be moz act is hilariously bad.
The reason there were Smiths/Morrissey comparisons is because the singer of Gene was a super moz fan who tired to get close to Moz finally only managing it because he knew one of the band, his songs and image were not just based on Moz some of the songs were about him.
To give them their credit, they did sellout venues but is was all Moz related.
He was outclassed by Bret, Jarvis, Liam and a host of others
