Genesis fans who have spent the last 13 years praying for a reunion woke up this morning to the news that Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks were photographed together last night at a Knicks game.
One of the most anticipated gigs this year is the return of Genesis with (some Peter Gabriel fans may differ) the original line-up of the band.
It takes admirable restraint to play only what ’s needed for a song, and to compose , accompany, and orchestrate without the need to shout "Hey, look at me!" These traits are the foundation of the tasteful playing by Genesis keyboardist, Tony Banks.
After Tony Banks and Phil Collins both refused to rule out a Genesis reunion in recent interviews, Mike Rutherford has now said he’s tentatively open to the idea.
A new Tony Banks box set has been revealed – and it’ll be released this summer.
Inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 2010 as a member of prog-rock legends genesis, Tony Banks is one of the most respected songwriters and keyboard players of his generation. His career spans fifty years and has seen him sell in excess of 130 million albums, with the band and solo.
"Hello Paris in the springtime!" says an animated Phil Collins during Seconds Out, the live double album released by Genesis in October 1977.
Genesis co-founder and keyboardist, Tony Banks is set to release his latest opus, 5, which is his third orchestral record.
Next month, Phil Collins is set to tour South America, the latest leg in his "Not Dead Yet Tour." As part of his musical comeback, Collins has also written a memoir and reissued his back catalog.
With a career that spans back over 50 years, Genesis are arguably one of the more underrated British rock groups of the ’70s, having released 15 albums over the band’s lifetime.
