About Me

The band came together in the summer of 2006, writing and practicing in the sweltering heat of an old warehouse in the kaleidoscopic Northern Quarter of Manchester. Over the following year, they developed a strong and original style, playing numerous venues around the northwest, growing a significant local following. The Gnome Genome exists to create music of cinematic proportions, enveloping many diverse structural concepts and emotions to create an original sound.
