Gene Dante and the Future Starlets - The Romantic Lead

Is theatrical rock making some sort of comeback? Every once in a while you get a band or artist who's daring to either recreate the glories of yesteryear's theatrical rock (Roxy Music, Queen, early Genesis, Sparks, Nektar, etc.)....or.... (yes, Dfactor?)

A year ago, I posted a show review about Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears - it was an unbelievably good show for a typical night club rock show, combining loads of great pomp and musicality. (I'd highly recommend seeing Bryan Scary and his band - they're in Boston, Philly and Chicago in July)

Now I get news of Boston rocker Gene Dante, a not terribly debonaire name for a guy who sings 'I am gorgeous - I am without disease' and who's trying to bring his style of glam into today's popland. Here's the video to the song "A Madness to His Method", the first single from the full-length album 'The Romantic Lead'. I love where he sings at 0:25 "A moneyshot...", reminding me of my favorite turn-of-this-century NYC rock band.

It's theater, it's rock. It's Killers and Freddie Mercury in bed together. Enjoy. Happy Friday.
