LE MONDE MUSICIANS...
The Genes
The Genes are brothers Morgan and Nolan Angell, performing as a duo, with guitar, harmonica and drums and vocal harmonies. They have performed on radio, television, have played at the legendary Livid Festival and have appeared three times in the historical Spiegeltent. The Genes' music has been used in television and surfing movies. They supported the “Bring Back Kirra” SurfStock last November at Kirra Beach.
With over 600 original songs under their belts they've been moving audiences up and down the East Coast and this year they are celebrating 20 years together as a respected band. They have toured with some of the top bands like Midnight Oil; Yothu Yindi; Crowded House; The Cruel Sea; Hoodoo Gurus; Women in Docs, as well as supporting performers Wendy Mathews and Deborah Conway and Neil Murray.
Pat Wyte, from the Courier Mail in Brisbane says of their last performance at the Powerhouse in Brisbane:
"They're far and away the greatest unsigned band I've ever known - anywhere. But they just go on making their grand music, surfing and working jobs to pay their way to making music. They played in Brisbane for seven years then the keen surfers headed for Sydney's beaches in 1997, then back to Brisbane via Coffs Harbour, and these days they're based in Cabarita, in Northern NSW purposefully sticking close to the waves. They have an album demo that's been kicking around for a few years that I can assure you is a real gem. The hooks aren't flashy and showy but they eventually draw you in like a king tide - all of their albums are real growers. A select group of fans worldwide know what I'm talking about."

Gav Doniger
When Stomp-boxer Gavin Doniger packed up his guitar case and ventured into London's music scene in 2000, his philosophy was characteristically optimistic. "I just walked through the streets looking for gigs,hitting open mic nights and generally immersing myself at grass roots level in the live music scene."
"It was a wild experience I sought out gigs and cemented shows in and Greenwich village....It changed the way I played."
Gavin's reputation as an artist not afraid to twist traditional blues and inject his own rock style into the fold has won him critical acclaim both at live shows in Australia and overseas. The Wounded Hand Recordings is the latest from this fine singer songwriter Gavin Doniger
