Following on from the release of their debut album, ‘Anti-Fun Propaganda’ last week, Gen and the Degenerates will be heading out on the road in the spring.
Alongside appearances at the Bearded Theory Festival in Derbyshire and Newcastle’s Stones Throw Festival, the indie pop/post-punk collective will be playing five headline dates.
At the time of writing, Gen and the Degenerates are out in the States supporting Flogging Molly. However, that hasn’t stopped frontperson Genevieve Glynn-Reeves (aka Gen) from sharing the following message.
“We are enjoying our time in the US, making new friends, but we’re also thrilled to return to the UK to perform for our long-time fans. I hope everyone has been revising the album lyrics so we can scream them together every night! As it’s our headline tour, we’ll bring all the usual chaos on the road with us and some extra special silliness.
“It’s been a while since we’ve headlined, and we’re excited to perform all the new material live. Remember to bring sunglasses for post-cool! If you haven’t been to our show before and don’t understand, just bring some sunglasses, and you’ll find out. “
On last Friday’s #NewMusicFriday roundup, I called Liverpudian’s first full-length a “forward-thinking, socially conscious, and versatile debut”.
