Born in the beer soaked basements of East Lansing, The Generics carved out a loyal following of fans with their high energy shows. From 1980 to 1983 they delivered their original “unbranded” power pop songs in clubs across Michigan, playing to enthusiastic audiences from Detroit to Ann Arbor to Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo to Northern Michigan. The bands culmination was winning the “Miller High Life Rock to Riches Battle of the Bands” sponsored by Lansing rock station WILS. As winners they were included on a compilation album of Michigan bands and headlined an outdoor concert in Lansing with over 2000 in attendance. After 1983 band members went their separate ways, scattered across the country, but stayed active in music. Since 2002 they have have been reuniting almost every year to jam and come up with new original songs. In 2018 they started playing to live audiences again. Now The Generics are reuniting in RI for one night only and bringing their high energy power pop to Myrtle.
