LocalZine: How did you come up with the name, The Genues?
Genues: It came down to a desicion between that and "The Tony Danza's." I
think we made the right choice.
LocalZine: Have any of you ever been in other bands? Which ones?
Genues: We used to be a loveable ska band called Genuiner Rekliner, but then
ska became uncool, so we switched to death metal for a while, but didn't like the scene, so we just stuck with good old rock n' roll.

LocalZine: What’s the hippest show you ever played?

your pick.
LocalZine: After a show, what can you be found doing?
Genues: Sitting in the back of Orville's car eating packets of mustard.
LocalZine: What kind and what color of underwear are you wearing right now?
Genues: Commando.
LocalZine: What can we expect from your new release coming up?
Genues: Lots of well written songs with huge drums, driving guitars, and
melodic 4 part vocal harmonies. The overall sound is leaning more towards really aggressive yet vocally catchy emo/rock/punk. The meaningful lyrics and ultra-involved horns add a lot to the atmosphere of the record.
LocalZine: Any guilty pleasures?
Genues: A few.
LocalZine: Are there any not recognized bands you can suggest to me or the
readers?
Genues: Local bands don't get the respect that they deserve. Check out our
friends in Keeping Ellis, Sloe, For the Design, Four Star Silent, and Olympic
Year.
LocalZine: Who would you love to play with (dead or alive) and why?
Genues: At the Drive-in because they practically killed themselves at every
show.
LocalZine: And the most important question of them all….
Who’s the pimpest mofo in all the land?
Genues: That band who sings "I get knocked down, but i get up again. You're
never gonna keep me down."
