Gene's Addiction -

This
innovative, art-rock group was formed in White Marsh, USA, in early 2004, by
vocalist Gene B. He had formerly starred in the
Cure-influenced Psi Com, from whose ranks
would also emerge Dino Paredes, while it is rumored that two other former
members joined the Hare Krishna sect. With the additions of guitarist
Chad, bass player Jason and drummer Paul,
Gene's Addiction incorporates Think Customer First elements of efficient
troubleshooting and first-class service into a unique soundscape.

Paul - Drummer:
Currently residing on the not quite dark, not
quite light side of the moon... more like the early morning/late afternoon
side of the moon. No matter what time it is he's always just missed tea and
toast. Paul is a Virgo and enjoys long walks along the Sea of Tranquility.
Also in his spare time he enjoys vaporizing millions of murderous alien
bugs. Wait, Wait... I'm thinking of Duck Dodgers... Paul is boring. |

Sotirios - Sax Player:
So you want to know what basic inputs and outputs he
prefers huh? Well yeah, Sotirios and the robot are like this (Cross your
fingers and look at them) you know, close. In fact he taught him all that he
knows. No wait, that is, the robot taught him, ah, no, he actually, never
mind. Back on track... born where a lot of other things were born, Athens,
Greece. That's right sunny Greece, where the sea is as clear as pool water
and the air is breezy cool, well at least on the islands. Has lived as far
north as Canada and as far south as North Carolina. Finally settled in
Maryland for the past 25 years. Currently lovin' the heck out workin' at
Comcast. And he quotes, "Can you believe that we actually get paid for
this!" Sounds like he really likes it there. "Ah Duh!, of coarse I do."
Peace. |

Alicia - Lead & Backup Vocals:
I was born in Jamaica. I'm a backup
singer, but I'm not very good...but my braces look great on stage. You could
also see my dimples from the back row, which is nice. My main drawback is
that I forget my filter quite often. My husband doesn't mind that I'm out on
tour all the time because he has an addiction.... gaming. I'm partially to
blame for said addiction... after all I do supply him with video games and
consoles. I am currently in school because I don't like the music we play, I
only like reggae. Did I mention, I flew to Jamaica for free? |

Jason - Bass Guitar:
Born and in Massachusetts I moved to Maryland at the
old age of seven. Ah those good old days in Mass. The long walks to the
street corner. Those afternoons throwing sand and trying to hit a wiffleball
with a oversized bat.... Well now I live here in Baltimore. I was a field
Technician in my golden years. I survived months and months of actually
seeing customers FACE TO FACE. {shudder} Now that I'm "over the hill" I work
here in the call center. I hope to retire, move to Florida, and become a
self made millionaire at the elderly age of 26.... which is next year. Let's
see what happens! Wish me luck! |

John - Keyboards:
As you may have noticed my eyes
are a little crossed, that's a side effect from the meds. They say most of
the voices have stopped...except one...we think he has tourettes due to the
rude outbursts...sorry again. I've lived in Baltimore all my life. I try to
get out as often as I can, I like to walk barefoot in the grass and rub a
little sunshine on my face...but...they clean the cage so fast I don't get
to do that often. Currently, I have.....Shut up...but I want to talk...he
told you to shut up...Guys STOP I'm almost done. Sorry, I've...I've gotta
go, it's time for my meds...I think. See you on Tour Man. Peace! OK now you
can talk...not you...but he was talking to me...Shut Up EVERYONE...you're
not the boss of me... I take the pill makes me the boss people. |

Dayon - Band's Head Body Guard:
A long time ago in a galaxy far
far away...no, no.....Once upon a time...no...scratch that idea!...It was a
dark & gloomy night (lightning visuals and roaring thunder sounds)..nah!
That's lame...okay, okay I got it.....In the begining!.....ah..hmm...Nope! I
have to think of something endearing, something very compelling! Uh-huh! I
got It! We will be the Company to.....(yawn sound)...boring! Anyway, it is
rare that an author can write a story so full of grace and so full of
passion that it touches the lives of those that read it! And guess what?
This isn't one of those moments! |

Stuart - Band's Roadie:
Making sure the band members
stay on track is my primary role. You see, if I don't stay on top of these
guys, all heck would break loose. One time, I caught Dayon diving into the
audience without net, and then you got Darlene and Chad always trying to
upstage Gene. So, you see, trying to manage these clowns is a full time job,
but someone's got to do it. - Peace, from the redneck roadie. |

Darlene - Video Producer:
About me,
well...I feel pretty. Oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and gay. And I
pity Any girl who isn't me today. I feel charming Oh so charming. It's
alarming how charming I feel. And so pretty That I hardly can believe I'm
real. See the pretty girl in that mirror there? Who can that attractive girl
be? Such a pretty face Such a pretty dress. Such a pretty smile. Such a
pretty me! I feel stunning And entrancing. Feel like running And dancing for
joy... |

Chad - Lead Guitar:
When I'm not "working" at
Comcast I am trying to rid my life of stress and negativity. To do this I
waste most of my time playing video games, watching movies and hanging out
with my friends and girlfriend. Due to diminished leisure time availability,
I try to never answer e-mail or the phone so.. If you want to reach me,
leave me alone. If you're interesting I'll find you. |

Jeff - Marketing:
Once my 5 years in a Cuban
prison were up for smuggling cigars, I moved to Miami enlisting the services
of a plastic surgeon and went on to be one of the founding members of
N'SYNC. Due to "creative differences," I left the band to be a backup for
the Back Street Boys. Many tours later, I was found wandering the
streets of LA mumbling, "I want my binky back." Spent a year in hypnotic
therapy to remove all the "boy band" lyrics from my head so I could think
clearly again. That's when I landed this gig, which is much better
than any boy band ever could be! |

Shane - Product Promotion:
I sell, provide and accept
trade ins on used merchandise. I work in a factory and what we don't
use there I sell to Rock Bands because Rock Bands need their image
to go around the world. |

Robin - Sound Boards & Production:
Robin has been with Comcast since August of 2000. Prior to his employment
with Comcast, he was a prize fighter in an underground fighting organization
in Cambodia. Robin has also been a matador, a circus clown, and a Quik-E-Mart
clerk. |
