The Generators played last night at The Slidebar in Fullerton. Showtime started at 11:30 and we were of course present. (one of the band is family) The Generators led the set with my favorite, Sound Off The Alarms. The “old” (original) guitarist, new drummer and everyone performed flawlessly. The sound was tight and the band has obviously paid their dues in practice time. The sound was engineered for their usually larger performance venue; my ears held out until the last two songs when the accumulated exposure to the volume at the very front where we stood so I could shoot pictures, finally gave the sound that kind of helium balloon effect. In all, the guys, Doug Dagger, Mike Snow, Lou Guzman and Lutz (who wasn’t feeling so great) did a superb job and entertained the troops at the Slidebar from “We are the Generators and you are the alcoholics!” to “Thank you, Goodnight”.
The Generators have just signed a new record deal with DC Jam Records for North America. The band, who has been a presence on the punk rock scene since the old-school punk days way back in 1997, will be preparing to go back into the studio to record their 8th full length album. Concrete Jungle Records/People Like You Records will be delivering the record to all the fans across Europe & Asia. The Generators are proud to announce the return of the original guitarist Mike Snow back into the fold. Long time LA Punk drummer Lou Guzman also has joined the band to help deliver the next batch of power driven anthems. The new record will be hitting the streets in the early part of 2011, and the band will be following up with U.S Tour dates, as well as another return to Europe in September.
