Biography

Alive with harmonious melodies and powerful orchestration, GEE DAVEY is fast becoming a force to reckon with... or at least, one to listen to.

Formed from the remnants of local favorites like SUFFER FOOL, WORLD STRANGER and NARCOTIC GYPSY , GEE DAVEY is comprised of Michael Bontempi (Drums), Wayne Macgregor (Bass) and DJ Pearlman (Guitars/Vocals).

Their sound is the result of their collective years of experience with both recording and producing kick-ass music. Their influences range from Foo Fighters to Train and Stone Temple Pilots to Fuel, but their sound is definitely all their own. It is a mix of hard rock and alternative stylings, blended with poignant lyrics and catchy riffs.

GEE DAVEY is a powerhouse of potent new music whose songs will make you want to sing along.

...[excerpt]

The first song, "Behind You", flanges into my aural horizon under the passive guitar with a rather aggressive progression. The rest of the band's accompaniment chimes in at about 12 seconds, giving off the impression right away that what I was about to hear was going to indeed have a professional quality. This is usually most easily sensed at the arrival of any percussion, which a listener can base how serious a band is going to be about the mixing process. If drums are miked and mixed correctly, then it appears obvious that the band has done their production homework, and most likely spent just as much time assuring that the other instruments would carry the same standard. Such a lesson applies to this track, the vocals are right up front, the bass is audible, and the guitar is not too saturated. Besides having the essential "good mix", I also enjoyed the chorus, where singer Jack would sing "Behind you" in that unique not-singing, yet not-speaking type of tone. I also thought that DJ Pearlman's solo was well constructed and not too over the top, as were his changes in tone and effects that spicened up the piece.

The second tune is a song dubbed "Breathe", which gets me to thinking a little more about the aim of the band's sound. If this band threw on some gritty overall mixing to the entire track, it could have easily been mistaken for a founding alternative genre hit from the early to mid nineties. The guitar work and vocal sound especially give a phenomenal throwback to bands such as Alice in Chains (although not depressing), Meat Puppets, Soundgarden (not as dark), etc. In no way am I implying that Gee Davey has joined a bandwagon or stolen a sound, but rather they make it clear that they know what their roots are and are confident to play them. This song made me appreciate the previous one even more, as I begin to further listen to the essential tweaking of effects mainly on the vocals. A peak at the lyrical content also reminds me of days spent in my youth listening to Z100 (a p op radio station), back when it still was cool and played alternative/grunge/punk. I'm surprised that a band has actually ventured back to the good old days and stuck with writing a genre that most would be unfamiliar with today. This should not be taken the wrong way, I am pretty much saying that band's today seem to be all fashion, no passion. Here we have Gee Davey, who are not afraid to bleed their alternative blood, as a diversion for those today who are growing bored with quick trends.

"Sparticle" is a merging of the words supersymmetric particle. Supersymmetry, one of the cutting-edge theories in current high-energy physics, predicts the existence of these "shadow" particles. According to the theory, when the more familiar leptons, photons, and quarks were produced in the Big Bang, each one was accompanied by a matching sparticle: sleptons, photinos and squarks.
