About this Event
Since 2017, Cut Me Up Genny have been electrifying audiences across Upstate New York. If you have ever attended one of their many sold out Emo Nights, then you are familiar with the magic of hearing your most comprehensive emo playlist come to life! Their loud-as-hell amps, expressive stage performances and dedicated fanbase have solidified their status as the premier emo cover band in the region.
Vocalist and guitarist Alea Pettrone fronts the act, channelling only the most lovable diva vibes. Since joining the band in 2020, she has perfected the art of delivering passionate performances of Paramore, MCR, Fall Out Boy et al with all the sass and audacity you would expect from a world class emo frontwoman.
Mitch VanDenBerghe and Curt Matteson make up the two-headed guitar monster that roars in your face to the tune of only the tightest emo riffs. These dudes didn’t get to be Rochester music scene fixtures by serving milquetoast adequacy. Expect howling solos, bone-crushing power chords and badass dirty-ass tones, but above all, expect the unexpected in the form of clutch lead vocals or mesmerizing synthesizers. What’s their next move? Scream an Every Time I Die song? Pick up a bass guitar? The tightest two-part harmonies you’ve ever heard? Could be any of these. Could be all of these.
The rhythm section, the backbone of the band, is comprised of Tom Caster and Jacob Lomaglio on bass and drums, respectively. Watch closely to see these lovable boys make eyes at each other and lock in the groove. Listen as the bass and drums rise and fall, push and pull as one. Feel the thump of the kick drum in your chest and the resonance of the bass in your skull. What an experience for you!
No era of emo is neglected in a Cut Me Up Genny set; tunes both old and new, classic and novel, renown and obscure populate the setlist. They have even been known to sprinkle in a 90s anthem or their take on a modern pop track! From Jimmy Eat World to Four Year Strong, From Third Eye Blind to Panic! at the Disco, and from Taylor Swift to Underoath, the breadth of millennial culture is always fully represented in a night with CMUG. One night with Cut Me Up Genny is all it takes to get fully hooked! Whether it’s at a buzzing club or your favorite cocktail bar, treat yourself to the nostalgic dream you deserve. It was never a phase — we all know this. So be true to yourself! Get back in touch with your emo roots and spend Emo Night with Cut Me Up Genny, your favorite emo cover band!
