Gene Loves Jezebel

Coalescing in the early 80s and fronted by twin brothers Jay and Michael Aston, Gene Loves Jezebel became popular on the Indie scene, and by 1985 had established a settled line-up with the additions of Pete Rizzo on bass, Chris Bell on drums and James Stevenson (The Cult/The Alarm) on guitar. Consequently signing to Beggars Banquet, they gained a following throughout Europe and the USA and toured with the likes of David Bowie, Billy Idol, Echo and the Bunnymen and New Order.

Following the departure of Michael in 1988 and the imploding of their record label, Savage Records in 1993, the band pursued various projects until the 1999 release of a new batch of tracks, in VII. Further touring followed, and in 2017 'Dance Underwater' was released. Produced by Peter Walsh, it featured a string arrangement by Tony Visconti.

The band released their tenth studio album 'X - Love Death Sorrow' last year, to very positive reviews.
