Gene Loves Jezebel is a gothic rock band from the early 1980s founded by
twin brothers, Michael and Jay Aston.
Michael Aston (vocals) was the poetic, goth-leaning side of the twin
brothers while Jay Aston?s distinctive banshee-like, wailing vocals
supplied Gene Loves Jezebel with one of their many trademark quirks.
History Originally called Slav Aryan, Gene Loves Jezebel began in 1980
with the Aston brothers, guitarist Ian Hudson, and a drum machine. The
Astons grew up in Porthcawl, South Wales, making the move to London in
1981. With a new home, and shortly thereafter, the new name, the trio
played several live shows and was signed by Situation Two. In May 1982,
the label released Gene Loves Jezebel's demo single "Shaving My Neck." The
band then added bassist Julianne Regan followed, briefly, by a keyboardist,
Jean-Marc Lederman. Regan left within a year to form All About Eve, leaving
Ian Hudson briefly playing bass unt
