GeEkgiRL

Mainstage at both Manchester & London Pride 2008

About Me


The highlight of 2007 has to be GeEkgiRL supporting The Gossip!
Roll on all new prospects in 2008! including main stage in both London and Manchester...


"Geekgirl have grown from shy beginnings as an acoustic act into the band they are in 2007 - a true outsider punk outfit cherished by a generation of Manc music misfits. [Their album] 'May Contain Traces Of Boy' sounds like the most unhinged, electrifying thing to come out of the Manc underground scene for yonks. Thrashing with PJ Harvey-meets-Throwing Muses fire and purring with hectic pop, it's a breakneck crawl through messy relationships and modern Britain." David Sue, MEN
GeEkgiRL are a three-piece punk/pop/rock type band hailing from Manchester, England. They own their own record label together with their producer and live engineer Tracey Browne. Their first release off this label was the album "May contain traces of boy" which is a reference to the fact that there are boys in the band, which still shocks many people.
To date GeEkgiRL have played alongside the likes of Charlotte Church (yes, really), Ari-Up of The Slits (fi sang with her on stage, we don't talk about it), Nizlopi, The Bodyrockers, The Hedrons, David McAlmont, Horse, Liz Green, and even The Gossip (some of you may have heard of them, Beth is smaller than Fi, believe it or not).
