On Feb 12 we had a rehearsal studio farewell party. That is, we bid the rehearsal studio farewell, not the band
. We’d been rehearsing there in the basement since we started the band back in 2005, so we invited all our friends for some drinks and live music. We’ve uploaded some photos from that gig on Flickr. For those of you who saw us live during the first year of The Genuine Fakes’ existence, you’ll notice we’re wearing the original live outfits!

Quote from The King – Elvis Presley
22 FebI found an old quote from The King that I think is worth posting here:
I don’t know anything about music. In my line you don’t have to.
- Elvis Presley (1935 – 1977) US singer, actor
There are more than 600 official Elvis Presley fan clubs, including some that were illegally formed in countries where it was forbidden, such as Pakistan and the former Soviet Union.
Check out this extremely cool Elvis-site or the official web site.
Sound card failure
3 FebToday The Genuine Fakes were supposed to record some guitar/organ in the studio but the f**kin sound card did not work properly so instead I used the time to browse my photo gallery. I found this excellent pic of my daughter Molly Fake.
She really did NOT enjoy the mustache but who can blame her?

3 JanHope you all had a safe holiday.
Did you know that we’ve got our very own band page on Facebook? Just log on to your Facebook account and make a search for The Genuine Fakes, or just follow this link and click on “Become a fan” to get the latest updates, listen to our music, check out fan photos etc.
It would be a great help to us also because we’re in a competition where the bands with the most “fans” on Facebook gets to have two songs on a compilation album due out in a couple of months.
Cheers!
