London, United Kingdom (1993 – 2004)
There are two bands with this name:
1) Gene (formed 1993, disbanded 2004) were a British indie/rock quartet formed in London who rose to prominence in the mid-90s.
They were popularly labelled as a Britpop band and often drew somewhat superficial comparisons to The Smiths, if only because of their slightly Morrissey-esque lead singer, Martin Rossiter. In truth, Gene’s music owes more to acts as diverse as The Jam, The Small Faces, The Style Council, and The Clash, to name a few. Gene comprised Matt James (drummer), Kevin Miles (bassist), Steve Mason (guitarist) and Martin Rossiter (vocalist, keyboards).
2) GENE a Syrian Neoprogressive Rock Band, one of the best acts in the Syrian rock scene, they started under the name ZODIAC playing progressive rock songs for bands such as ( Karmakanic ) later on they changed their name to GENE and decide to use Arabic lyrics with the progressive music creating a very unique style of their own, proving again how flexible Arabic language can be.
they are:
Maen rajab: Guitars
Omar harb: Bass guitar ( The Hourglass - Anas & Friends )
Shadi Ali: Vocals ( Guest in Anas & Friends )
Sahel Zen Eldien: Drums
Hazem Al-Ani: Piano & Keyboards
Anas Abd al-Moumen: Guitars ( Anas & Friends )
GENE released their Debut self titled album in August 2008 .

Saw this band live many times and they never failed to deliver. Pompous, fragile, beautiful and just plain talented. Never understood why they were not as big as they deserved to be.
