About Gene The Werewolf @ Club Cafe on July 11th!!!
When people see Gene The Werewolf for the first time, the only thing that can come to mind is "Wow, how did that Werewolf pull off such sweet falsettos”. The band has only been together since early in 2006 but the individual members have been playing music and touring for the better part of the last decade. When the 5 guys from Pittsburgh, PA decided that they wanted to start playing music that was as Ridiculous as it was Awesome, they started playing together and Gene The Werewolf was born.
“The concept of this band is that people can go out to a rock show and have fun like they used to before the scene became all about hot dudes with tight abs and no talent being in the spotlight” says Gene. Well there are no hot dudes or tight abs in this band, but there is plenty of talent. Aaron, the band’s keyboardist is a really good bowler, and Tim the band’s bass player can do a mean Matthew McConaughey impression. “We want to play music that people can relate to, while still being ridiculous and awesome. I mean, we asked a Werewolf to be our lead singer for crying out loud” says Nick, the band’s drummer.
In recent months the band has caught some flak from industry types because of the fact that they refuse to play any shows on the night of a Full Moon. “Its simply not safe”, says Gene. “I mean, one minute I could be up there playing, and the next minute I would have completely devoured 5 or 6 people in the first row of the crowd. I just wouldn’t be able to keep fans liking our band if I ate all of them when they came to see us play”.
The guys in Gene The Werewolf just finished recording their debut album with producer Jamie Woolford (Gin Blossoms, The Stereo, The Format) which will hopefully be released in the first half of 2009. “I think the record will be one half Kiss, one half The Darkness, and one half Foo Fighters” says Gene. “ And yes we know that makes 3 halves. But we don’t care, that’s how we do things around here!”
