Bio
Gene Dante and The Future Starlets have made a career out of picking glitter from the gutter and wearing it to black-tie affairs. This indie rock rat pack travels shoulder-to-shoulder with both deviants and debutantes.
In late 2021, they kicked down the door to DL/UX, a 15-track album that pulls back the velvet curtain on a modern speakeasy. The Boston Herald included DL/UX in their 'Top 10 Albums to Keep Playing in 2022.'
Beneath the group’s jewel-encrusted facade are Dante's lyrics, captured from his own experiences. Elegance, debauchery, and sweaty tales from New York, Los Angeles, and beyond come perfectly preserved in the headspace of DL/UX, wrapped up in risque realism.
“It crashes through the wall of pop,” Dante explains. And once that wall is in pieces, DL/UX takes the sledgehammer to all of mainstream music’s formalities. A 21-track double vinyl LP edition is due in November 2022 -- the 4th side being a "bonus EP" of singles previously unavailable on any physical media.
DL/UX builds upon the group’s past successes, which began with their previous opus The Romantic Lead, released via Omnirox Entertainment. Produced by Peter Lubin, the record’s single "A Madness To His Method'' made its way into rotation at MTV's LOGO Network. Follow-up single "The Love Letter Is Dead" peaked at number 2 on local radio airplay charts, and remained on the charts for 16 consecutive months. Most recently, Gene Dante nabbed a Boston Music Award nomination for “Best Male Vocalist'' (now simply titled “Vocalist of the Year”) in 2014.
