My friend Pete Olen is both an accomplished philosopher and a 24-7-hustle concert booker for a number of venues in southern Florida. Via a post about a show he recently booked and is currently promoting, I was reminded of 80s Welsh goth rockers Gene Loves Jezebel.  To my surprise they still exist.  And I do mean “they.”

The post led me to read a little on the history of GLJ, whom I vaguely remembered from high school. The band was started by two identical twins who came to despise each other by the late 90s and refused to ever work together again.  But both wanted to keep playing, and each thought he was the rightful inheritor of the “Gene Loves Jezebel” name. 

And then there were lawyers…
