In the short time since forming, THE FADED, has risen from virtual unknowns to being hailed as The New Darlings of The Sunset Strip. As much pinups as strong musicians, its four members have truly made a name for themselves within the local music scene. Recently awarded the title of Alternative Band of the Year, The Faded have the art of the hook down so well that you cant help but see their faded view of life and love. The Hollywood based group has fine-tuned their power-pop style in such unique ways that they have managed to completely separate themselves out from and above the rest. These four charismatic boys manage to play loud aggressive music with an accessible pop side that makes their songs relatable to virtually any age group. Add in their often over-the-top on-stage style, and you get a show that is both exciting and intriguing, as well as just great fun. The lyrics Gene presents by way of his distinctive voice are clever and candid. Gene is a moody soul whose voice suits the temperamental music that his band creates.
