Hell, get your cat and your neighbor to call them too.

July 31, 2011 - Hi there everybody! I hope this finds everyone in good spirits, I know I am.

June 17, 2011 - Gene's interview with 'PulloutAndRun Radio' (Video)

Greetings everybody, and welcome to my website, HoglanIndustries.com. I hope you all enjoy it, and make this your place to turn to for knowledge on "all things Gene".

As this site will forever metamorphose, and we here at GHI are learning to walk before we run marathons-while-screaming, we’re launching it as is, and I will keep the updates a-comin’ at a pretty regular basis.

One of the first items I will be tending to is writing a regular feature column detailing chronologically every album I’ve performed on, starting of course with “Darkness Descends”, all the way through to the latest slab of whatever-it-may-be. Recollections and reminiscences detailing all that I remember about every project, including some with which many of you may not be familiar. I figure, I’ll probably fire them out on a monthly basis, so, that’s gonna be a 2 ½ year project if I stopped putting out albums right now.

To run concurrently with the release of my first DVD, “The Atomic Clock”, I will be uploading video snippets of items that, while informative and educational, didn’t make the final cut. A few ‘buffering lessons’, if you will. Those should be exciting!

Also, check out my online store to get all the latest ‘Gene Goodies’, such as my brand new line of ‘Gene Shirts’, the forthcoming “ The Atomic Clock” DVD, and loads of merch to come. I will be selling used sticks of mine as well, and no self-respecting Gene-fan (Hey, that’s an oxymoron!) would want to carry on living without a pair of those dangling from your rear-view mirror or feeding your fireplace, let me tell ya.

Coming shortly as well will be a FAQ section, where all that bs you’ve never been able to dig up on me will be revealed. Wanna know what that pattern is on your favorite tune? Why the boots? How’d I get to be soooo good-lookin’? Find out all you need to know at the FAQ section. And, if you’ve got questions that I haven’t answered, feel free to nail me with ‘em. So, get off yer FAQ-in’ asses and ask me some FAQ-in’ questions, dammit!

I’m sure I will eventually get around to launching a forum on here, as well. A place to rant and rave, talk music or drums with other like(and unlike)-minded individuals, and hell, I’ll totally be jumping on there and giving my two-bit opinion. Which is always right. The only time I’ve ever been wrong is when I thought I was mistaken. Hee hee.

So, there’s a brief intro to the goings on around HoglanIndustries.com. Dive in and make yourself at home. All are welcome here.

Absolutely everyone.
Enjoy!
Gene
