Gene Severens (born Eugene Padanyi Severens, 22 June 1963 - 19 February 2006) was an American songwriter, musician and artist. He was the driving force behind a number of punk rock bands, first in Worcester, Massachusetts, but mostly in Providence, Rhode Island. In addition to lead vocals, Severens would perform on both bass and guitar, usually bass. As a visual artist, he worked in acrylic paint, ink, charcoal and mixed media. The aesthetic throughout was consistent: punk.

Influenced by early punk rock bands the Clash and the Dead Boys, Severens began writing song with Richard "Foghorn" Harnois with whom he founded the Aggressions c. 1984. The Aggressions, along with the Commandos and the Performers, constituted the core of Worcester's early hardcore punk scene, playing frequently at Ralph's Diner. The Aggressions enjoyed local radio success with their song "Howard Johnson's" about an ill-fated attempt to drive through a snow storm to a punk rock concert.

In Providence, Severens founded his most influential band, Boneyard, who would open for Goo Goo Dolls and Social Distortion. Members included Gail Greenwood who would later join Belly and L7. His other main Providence-based project was My Way.

[edit]The Scarecrow

The image of a scarecrow/crucifix appears throughout Severens' artwork, including as a tattoo on his right arm. This image served as a central theme for his views on the human condition: where Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifice to call down the doves of peace, modern religion has "made him a scarecrow, to chase the doves away", as Severens wrote in his song The Scarecrow.

The Scarecrow expresses the image and its meaning more fully. On the Boneyard recordings, Severens delivers the vocal, bringing his biting sarcasm to the fore. An alternate arrangement recorded by Severens' brother and accomplished cellist Michael Severens, features a simple vocal with cello accompaniment that brings out the more enduring themes to which the song points.

Cute, honey and bunny















Sometimes to freshen up your ideas you need to get down and dirty.
After being in a creative runt, its always worked for me to loose shame by being a dumb ass.
Disconnected from expectations, with expectations come disappointments. You cant Photoshop disappointments. And with the moon you can play with telescopes, unless you have a neighbor with odd habits who will give you a reason to fulfill your own voyeuristic habits.


Bouncing ideas off the back of my head is never as good as doing a Gondry´esk "LOW". Foofighters Low ...


Bounce the Camera around and twisted Sci-Fi will happen. So... Now that eStudio473 is on a roll. My first proposal is to "LOW"... cabin fever time.
