The lads themselves like to read & listen to Gorillaz, Roy Orbison, Johny Cash, Prince, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Presidents of the USA, Willy DeVille, old spaghetti-westerns like "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", novels of Herman Brusselmans or absurd humour like Gummbah.With the release of this debut album of Cool Genius, Goomah Music presents their 2nd release, after the album of the Horse Company last May.Early September, the first single ‘Beach’ wil be released, so check out your favourite radiostation; and don’t forget to notify 19 October in your schedule at Hedon Zwolle.More info @www.coolgenius.hyves.nlwww.myspace.com/coolgeniusmusicwww.s ozconcerts.nlwww.goomahmusic.nl Cool Genius fan does the Lampdance to Monkey Boy Bakerman sings "My Friend"
