Check out Eugene Francis Jnr

Eugene Francis Jnr is a unique musical individual. My explanation of him can't do him justice. Here are pieces from his official biography:

On March 8th 1977 at 8.13am Eugene Francis Jnr emerged into our world, for 2 reasons:

a. to make music
b. so that ‘International Women’s Day’ would be officially recognised
.......

Eugene Francis was raised on Country, Blues and Folk Music, although when he misbehaved his parents made him listen to 80’Synth-Pop or Ambient.

After returning to London to study the stars and the planets at University, Eugene Francis decided to capitalise on being in the nation’s capital and got busy playing in as many different bands as possible. These bands were not important.
......

Drawing from some of the best bands / musical individuals of the current Welsh Music Scene (Vito, Broken Leaf) Eugene Francis Jnr has assembled a democracy, which he calls ‘a harmonious, beatnik-supergroup’

And now they plan to take over the world, this one and the next.


His single "Poor Me" is avaiable on iTunes and you can watch the video below.
