Biography

Audiogene release their first single ‘Eyes Wide Open’ on Rocket Boy Records in Jan 04. To promote the single they plan to gig gig gig!

The belief in Audiogene is starting to count. Two names from the music world have lined up behind the guys. Bob Grace the band’s new publisher signed David Bowie, Sting, Dire Straights, Graig David, The Spice Girls, and although Audiogene are a new century rock band, he sees a similar star quality.

Band manager is Mickey Modern, who has managed Nine Below Zero, Steve Harley, Nik Kershaw, Dum Dums, Imogen Heap, and many more. Both guys are 100% behind Audiogene.

Audiogene’s charismatic lead singer Johnny Rockit has always been a huge ‘ Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ fan! If asked, he will proudly show you a blood-splattered piece of paper with all the RHCP’s autographs on it. How come? While Johnny was visiting friends in America he took time out to visit the grave of dead band member Hillel Slovak. By chance, the rest of the RHCP were there that day, and after chatting to Johnny for a few minutes, they invited him back to their house. You’ll have to ask Johnny about the blood, and the rest of that day.

Guitarist Danny Peterson sold his flat, dropped his girlfriend, sold his hi-fi, his car, and hopped on a plane from Australia to London to join this band. That is an A Level in rock and roll.

Audiogene have recently played lots of dates around the UK supporting American garage rockers 4 Star Mary thru May / June, and Clarkesville through July. The guys are back into the studio to finish their first album, after which they will be back on the road during this winter…watch this space!

Latest News

Sadly Audiogene posted the following official announcement on their website on Saturday 21/08/04

Dear Everyone,

Unfortunately, the rumours are true and all good things must come to an end. Audiogene have decided to wind things down and disband after almost 3 years. We've had a really good stab at making this band happen with the help of a lot of dedicated people along the way, which we'd like to thank from the bottom of our hearts.... you know who you are. Coincidentally, we feel that last weeks NME announcement of the Beta Band split has also described our situation perfectly.... 'The Audiogene apple has over ripened and become riddled with maggots, it must fall from the tree and let its seeds return to the ground.'

Your support and enthusiasm has been gratefully received and there is no doubt that we would not have had such an exciting journey without you... the fans, the friends and the family.

Our final performance will be on Friday 27th August at the Greenbelt Festival in Cheltenham, on stage 2 at 9.30pm. DON'T MISS THIS GIG.

We love you all.
God Bless.
Johnny, Christian and Daniel.
