Those discographies on Stephane's site, Goddard's books, here, and Wikipedia and countless other places seem not to be worth a penny. But this one is. They mentioned it.
Matt James of Gene answers the question "Who the band would most like to punch in the music industry?" by replying "...I've just read the Moz autobiography (laughs). I'm not into punching anyone but if Simon Cowell happened to slip on a strategically placed banana skin, fall and hurt himself I wouldn't be that bothered." (3:40 mark)
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
Hallo friends!
We're excited to get back to it with a midnight set in the heart of Williamsburg. Directly following Johnny's show at Webster Hall, and just a short ride over on the L. Hope to see you all there.
