Adam Again was a rock band founded and led by vocalist Gene Eugene, with Riki Michele on vocals, Paul Valadez on bass, Jon Knox on drums, Greg Lawless on guitar. Dan Michaels often played saxophone.
Thom Jurek of AllMusic has described them as "inventive and artfully canny."[1] The band never achieved commercial viability and quit touring and recording together in 2000. On March 20, 2000 Eugene died in his recording studio, the "fabulous" Green Room. On September 20, 2013, bassist Paul Valadez died.[2]
