Hey Eugene! - ProfilesArchive

About Me

I'm not trying to sell you anything.......here I am. I don't want your money and I don't want a gig. I don't really want anything.
Hey Eugene! exists only to give it all away. I write because I have to. I play because I don't have anything better to do. Here's to Free Music - the way nature intended.
I rarely make new friend requests because I don't see the point in collecting 'friends' for the sake of it. If I've tried to add you it's because I genuinely like what you're doing. On the other hand, I hardly ever decline an incoming request. If you've taken the trouble to ask, its the least I can do.
Just have a listen and then go about the rest of your life. If you like what you hear please feel free to download any of the tracks using the widget below.

Influences: It's all becoming a little meaningless. Like most people, I'm influenced by everything I see and do, everyone I meet or read about.

Slowdive, The Telescopes, Spiritualized, The Velvet Underground, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Luke Haines & The Auteurs, Teenage Fanclub, The Sundays, My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Ride, The Boo Radleys, Chapterhouse, Sonic Boom, Lemonheads, Air, Belle & Sebastian, Big Star, Brian Wilson & The Beach Boys, SFA, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Derrero, John Cale, Mojave 3, Neil Halstead, Power Of Dreams, Lupine Howl, Superstar, Eugene Kelly & Captain America, The Lightning Seeds, The Cranes, The Milltown Brothers, The House Of Love and many more

The Point Goes Bust

It's another sad day for Cardiff's music lovers. The best little venue in town has closed its doors for the last time. It's such a shame to see The Point go that way.

The Party’s Over

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper......
