THE ALARM WITH JAY ASTON’S GENE LOVES JEZEBEL — live event
THE ALARM WITH JAY ASTON’S GENE LOVES JEZEBEL: LIVE TODAY LOVE TOMORROW TOUR MMXXIV LIVE TODAY LOVE TOMORROW TOUR MMXXIV presents a phalanx of British music artists who first came to prominence in North America during the original MTV music television era when The Alarm, Gene Loves Jezebel and Belouis Some all broke onto the scene with music that collectively blurred the lines between new wave, alternative rock and pop music as we know it. The Alarm first arrived onto the US music scene in 1983 via an appearance on the original MTV Cutting Edge TV Show and a debut tour of America as the opening act for U2 on the War Tour. Subsequently described by Bono as “The second greatest rock and roll band in the world’, The Alarm has maintained a constant North American presence ever since via classic singles such as The Stand, Strength and Rain In The Summertime. More recently, their last four albums – Equals (2018), Sigma (2019), Omega (2022) and Forwards (2023), have all featured in the top thirty of the Billboard Hot 100 Independent album chart. British goth rockers Gene Loves Jezebel also featured in heavy rotation across the MTV Network establishing their songs Desire, The Motion of Love and Jealous as massive Billboard Hit singles. With their ever present and enigmatic front man at the helm, Jay Aston’s Gene Loves Jezebel recently performed at the inaugural Cruel World Festival in California 2022 appearing alongside the likes of Morrissey, Bauhaus and Blondie. The band have also recently signed to Cleopatra in the USA and have a brand new album Love Death Sorrow that will be available at all good record stores and online outlets during the Live Today Love Tomorrow MMXXIV tour. WITH SPECIAL GUEST : BELOUIS SOME Belouis Some was probably the least-known act on 1986’s Pretty in Pink soundtrack, an assemblage of previously unfamiliar new wave darlings such as the Psychedelic Furs, Echo & the Bunnymen, and the Smiths. However, with his spiky hairdo and booming voice, Some was able to earn his own 15 minutes of MTV fame. Born Neville Keighley, Some released his first LP, Some People, in 1985. The title track was a club hit. Although Some’s contribution to the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, “Round, Round,” did not penetrate the mainstream, it introduced Some to an audience outside of discotheques. Produced by Bernard Edwards, “Round, Round” had enough electric guitars to seduce rock fans while maintaining the interest of the dance crowd with its pounding groove. “Imagination,” a song from Some People, was reissued in 1986, peaking at number 17 on the U.K. pop charts. Both “Some People” and “Imagination” were remixed several times. In 1987, Some recorded his self-titled second album, but it failed to duplicate the success of his debut. Some then disappeared from the music scene, lost in an ’80s “Where Are They Now?” file until 1993 when he released Living Your Life. Still devoted to his club roots, Living Your Life found Some embracing techno.
