Nirvana and Radiohead Adopt a Musical Child
February 14, 2005 (Albany, NY) -- Geno K, a guitarist, bass and keyboard player & programmer will release his entirely self-produced new album The Human Geno Project on February 22, 2005. The release will be followed by a massive national tour by The Geno K Experience. "I listened to the whole disk - I enjoyed listening to the male and female vocal trade-offs - I've always found that mixed gender dual vocal dynamic to be quite interesting," Andy Gallo, Program Director of Crumbs Radio says.
Geno K, aka Eugene Kim, is a 5-year veteran of the NYC music scene. As bassist for Shaker, Stalone & the Sleavze (all one band), he has performed at venues such as The Bitter End, Mercury Lounge, and Bowery Ballroom, as well as countless other clubs. Geno also founded and hosted an Open Mic Showcase at the popular DTUT's CafĂ on the Upper East Side of Manhattan for 2 years. Relocating back to his hometown, Albany, NY, Geno K finished a 2-year long solo project with a number of musician friends. Conveniently titled, The Human Geno Project, the album is the culmination of songs that, similar to it's like-named predecessor, is a multi-disciplinary approach to achieving an understanding of the human makeup, wrapped in 2-4 minute pop packages.
Genre-labeling, sounds like-artist identification is not recommended. If you must, think Radiohead and the Foo Fighters adopting a musical child, with Tom Waits as the baby-sitter. "I'd like to mimic the longevity of a Tom Waits, integrity of Leonard Cohen, the live atmosphere of a Flaming Lips show and take the reins from bands like Radiohead & Nirvana to continue to break the barriers of our bland, ever deteriorating pop music landscape," Geno explains.
The Human Geno Project will be available through CDBaby from February 22.
