Gene Loves Jezebel + Dawn After Dark

Formed in early 1980s Porthcawl, South Wales, Gene Loves Jezebel became a defining post-punk/gothic rock band. After UK indie success with Promise and the No. 1 indie album Immigrant, they went international with Discover, featuring US college hit "Desire" and MTV favorite "Heartache." UK hit "The Motion of Love" and tours with David Bowie, , Echo & the Bunnymen, and solidified their status.

Led by Jay Aston since 1989, they've continued releasing acclaimed music, including Love Death Sorrow X (2023), with songs featured across film and TV. Four decades on, they remain a compelling live act worldwide.
