WEST COAST
In June of 2024, GENEVA kicked off a wicked west coast tour in Seattle at a packed out Evil House alongside Chris Pierce, quickly gaining the likes of the local scene with a showcase of the WYD EP chock full of energy. They went on to rouse more locals throughout Seattle at the High Dive and Fremont Abbey whilst stopping at the Starday Tavern in Portland, Oregon, the Blue Room in Bellingham, Washington, and The Realm in Tacoma, Washington, before heading to Eve Anderson (vocalist) and Andrew Atkison’s (keyboardist) hometown in Spokane, Washington for a sold out show at the Big Dipper and a few other supporting acts at J-Bones Musicland and the waterfall loop.
Following the PNW, GENEVA went on to induct hundreds of new fans at famous California venues such as the 924 Gilman in Berkeley, the Milk Bar in San Francisco, the Art Bar in Los Angeles, and Liquid Gravity in San Luis Obispo.
GENEVA'S performers stem from West Coast band Monke Business, who won the hearts of Washington locals packing countless headliner shows at venues such as the Knitting Factory, Riverside Place, Overbluff Cellars, Montvale Concert Hall and more. Performers also stem from west coast band Vika & the Velvets, who, upon the sensational reception of hits “70s Haze”, “Lovers Liquor Store”, and “The Flavor Of You” went on to nurture their music throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Since the group’s conception, GENEVA has been taking the indie music scene by storm, and with new music carefully brewing and performance dates in the works for your city, you don’t want to miss out. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for GENEVA!
