The subsequent promotion increased pop-chart success for the group. ĭuring 1986, the group moved to Situation Two's parent company, Beggar's Banquet Records, and distribution rights in the U.S. However, at the start of a long American tour for Immigrant, founding member Ian Hudson left and was replaced by former Chelsea and Generation X guitarist James Stevenson (who later also played rhythm guitar on tour with the Cult). The band's second album, Immigrant, was released in mid-1985. In 1984, the group recorded a John Peel radio session for the BBC and toured the UK with fellow Welsh artist John Cale. In 1983, the band released two more singles, "Screaming (For Emmalene)" and "Bruises", and then their first album, Promise, which peaked at number 8 in the UK Indie Chart. This left Ian Hudson briefly playing bass and Albie DeLuca as the guitar player until Stephen Marshall joined. Keyboardist Jean-Marc Lederman was added and then Regan exited within a year to form All About Eve. In May 1982, Situation Two released Gene Loves Jezebel's demo and single, "Shaving My Neck". Gene Loves Jezebel underwent numerous lineup changes between 19. With a new home, and shortly afterwards, the new name, the trio with bassist Julianne Regan and drummer James Chater (later replaced by John Murphy ( the Associates) and then Richard Hawkins) played several live shows and were signed by Situation Two. The Astons grew up in Cornelly, and later Porthcawl, in Wales, and moved to London in 1981. Originally called Slavaryan, Gene Loves Jezebel was formed in 1980 with the Aston brothers, guitarist Ian Hudson, bassist Stephen Davis, and drummer Steve Snowy Evans. The name of the band is a reference to rock musician Gene Vincent and his song " Jezebel".Īs the result of a rift between the Aston brothers in 1997 and ongoing legal issues, there are currently two incarnations of the band. "The Motion of Love" was the band's most successful UK single. Gene Loves Jezebel's best-known songs include "Heartache", "Desire (Come and Get It)" (1986), "The Motion of Love" (1987), "Jealous" (1990), and "Break the Chain" (1993), as well as alternative club hits "Bruises" (1983), "Influenza (Relapse)" (1984), and "The Cow" (1985). Gene Loves Jezebel are a British rock band formed in the early 1980s by identical twin brothers Jay (born John) and Michael Aston.
