I met Gene in May 1983. I remember the date because the very day the God Rules album came out, we played with Gene’s band Martus. Sim Wilson was also in that band with Greg Lawless, Paul Valadez and Riki Michele, and they would go on to form Adam [...]

Gene and I met when we were just 19 years old. I think it was the summer, or fall, of 1981. The way we met was Paul Valadez, our bass player in Adam Again, grew up with Gene and known him since before they were teenagers. Paul and I [...]

I probably met Gene sometime in ’85. Our debut album had done well and our record label – in the form of one guy, Harry Barnes – was looking to expand on his initial success with us. Harry gave me a tape of some mixes of this band, Adam [...]

1) When/how did you first meet Gene?
I first met Gene when The Violet Burning opened for Adam Again in Ontario, CA. But, we didn’t really start becoming friends until years later, after the Adam Again “Dig” recording, which had become a favorite of ours to listen to while on tour. Gosh, what a wonderful recording [...]

The Choir was playing a show in Southern California along with some of our other So Cal friends in the early 1980’s. Gene was mixing for Undercover that night. I remember seeing him running around dealing with the sound and helping them get set up. He was easy to [...]

I met Gene when I answered an ad in the Recycler magazine in the Chino/Pomona area. The ad read “6 piece dance type band needs a drummer”. I auditioned with several other guys. I thought the audition went well, but I found out later that Gene did not like [...]
