OZ MUSIC PROJECT - Gig Review (April 2002)

... Closing the night in style were Genshen, and whilst I had been looking forward to seeing all of the bands, I'd been anxiously waiting to see Genshen for the first time. On occasion, when one has gathered high expectations of a band based upon their recorded output, the live show can prove to be a startling disappointment. However, Genshen proceeded to startle and amaze with their ability to reproduce their lush atmospheric pop songs with such clarity in a live setting. Not many bands are able to create the layered pedal and synth driven sounds like Genshen do in a studio setting, let alone in the notoriously difficult live setting. On stage with the band was a varied mass of guitars, keyboards, effects and telephone microphones, which produced a futuristic yet familiar (think martians meets My Bloody Valentine meets New Order) sound. by Andrew Tutts

HAIKU REVIEW - Brispop.com Discussion Board

(September 2002)

My dear, dear, Brisbane. Whilst Genshen redefined 'pop', you all slept at home:/ Nine golden, golden stars.

I'd heard stories about the wonders of the Genshen band wagon, and have been waiting ever so long to finally jump aboard. But, boy, was it a joyoius ride. ... Their current single "Love is on the Radio" paled in insignificance next to their newer tracks. I'm not sure what the last tune was, but hot damn - it's a corker! New Order crossed with Flaming Lips, equals my new favorite band.

TSUNAMI Magazine Gig Review

(July 2001 Edition)

Genshen... are one of the most exciting acts on the Brisbane scene at the moment. Claiming influences from bands such as Gaslight Radio and Stereloab, they have developed a distinctive, blissful drone characterised by Quentin Brown's pillow-soft voice, and Gillian's astronomical keyboards.

Opening with debut single 'Love Is On The Radio' (surely one of the great indie releases of this year), this gig marked a first for the band- using virtual displays during their set. Quentin Brown does remind me of Vincent from the Underground Lovers in a sense with his vocal technique and stage presence, yet ultimately his style is his own.

... They also manage to finish their set in true cathartic, electronically woozy style. And despite not playing one of their finer pieces, 'Find A Roost', Genshen were worth every dripping tune. It seems Gerling now have something to compete with.
