New Mullet on Monday - Gene Loves Jezebel

In the band Gene Loves Jezebel, headed up by Welsh twins Jay and Michael Aston, many, uh, attractive hairdos could be found.

From the 1996 album Discover, this is Sweetest Thing.

In 1989, Michael Aston left Gene Loves Jezebel, reportedly because he didn't like the poppy direction being taken by his brother and the rest of the band. Jay Aston and co. went on to release two more albums under the name Gene Loves Jezebel. In 1995, the Aston twins reunited and recorded a couple of songs for a best-of compilation, and a subsequent reunion tour. Post-tour, Jay Aston left the band and sued his brother for the rights to the name. According to Wikipedia, after a protracted court battle, Jay eventually dropped all charges "with prejudice" meaning Michael can never be challenged for the name again and consequently Michael owns the exclusive rights to the mark.

Michael Aston and his band, as Gene Loves Jezebel, have released four albums, the most recent being 2003's Exploding Girls. You can check up on Jay Aston via the links below.
