About Me


HelloGeiger are Susie, Geoff, Tom and Mike. Fused together like a musical jammy dodger, they met in 2006 in a bar near their London homes. The morning after, sober, they realised they had formed a band.
Comprising three parts Welsh and one part English, they have developed a sound that mixes old with new, draws on edgy indie, dabbles with harmonic rock but always sounds fresh and exciting — imagine Karen O and Debbie Harry in a bitch fight with the Pixies egging them on. Geiger's tunes are glued together with soaring vocal harmonies, running bass lines and thunderous drumming. Their lyrics are about life, love and fossil fuels and all share the belief that a band should f**kin rock live.
This mantra has been road tested and exemplified in riotous London and UK gigs. HelloGeiger have also gained kudos from winning both XFM and BT unsigned band competitions and they have created much publicity by doing a "Beastie Boys!" style video, shot by fans, using only mobile phones, supplied by the 3 network. Showcasing the band's talent, this raw and live experience can be found on myspace.com/hellogeiger, youtube.com and received much deserved recognition with a playlist from the number 1 rock music channel Kerrang TV!
This year sees the release of their exciting debut album — Keep calm and carry on. Tour dates and singles are to be announced.
