ABOUT THE GEMINI AFFAIR
Seattle rock paragons The Gemini Affair are the sound of the back room. To navigate a given space means often to interact with people of all kinds, from those smoking on the sidewalk to those making the big decisions behind closed doors. The Gemini Affair are the soundtrack of deals made, futures solidified and fortunes told. The music, dark and howling, rattles bones, shakes souls and portends a potential artful doom that might befall if one were to go against those who understand the way ahead.
Founded by Jeff Rouse, a longtime bass player, the project began to take shape in 2017. Fresh off the road after a tour, Rouse began to write his own songs. He recruited longtime Emerald City rockers Keith Ash (Star Anna, The Guessing Game, Marshall Altman) & Ryan Waters (Sade, Heart, Liv Warfield) along with producer/engineer Don Gunn (King Crimson, Death Cab for Cutie, Peter Frampton) and a handful of standouts like Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees) & Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie) to get the music recorded. Co-produced by Gunn, Rouse & Ash, their first EP, titled The Gemini, was one of the best selling in Seattle upon its release. They have been releasing a series of new singles ever since.
The Gemini Affair have won praise from radio stations like KJR 950 AM & KISW 99.9 FM and artists like Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses & Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready. Their single, You’re Perfect, was released on McCready’s Hockeytalkter label, and premiered on XM Radio’s Pearl Jam Channel.
In Between Lies TheTruth, a vinyl & CD collection of their 2 EP’s worth of original music released thus far, is coming soon.
Combining many genres and influences, their music is a torch, lighting fans forward.
