Britpop band Gene unhappy with Pale Waves’ tour support for using same name
Gene have voiced their frustrations over another group using the same name as theirs on promotional posters for an upcoming tour with Pale Waves.The former – fronted by Martin Rossiter – rose to prominence in the mid-’90s, releasing two UK Top 10 albums: ‘Olympian’ (1995) and ‘Drawn To The Deep End’ (1997). The latter is a rising LA-based duo – comprised of Claudia Mills and Harrison Allen – who released their latest single ‘Stole Your Car’ back in May.Mills and Allen’s Gene were recently announced as one of the support acts on Pale Waves’ forthcoming 2022 UK and Ireland tour, alongside Manchester band Hot Milk.
