When will you play in [put your country here]?
Check out our tour dates on our website - www.geminifive.com - we post every gig there (as well as here) as soon as we get to know about them.
Why don't you play in [put your country here]? You have loads of fans here.
Probably because we have not yet got an offer that will cover our expenses.
Its here, where YOU as a fan can make a difference and contribute to have GEMINI FIVE in Your country and in Your town!
Please make sure to spread the word of GEMINI FIVE to your local promotors and venue owners. Also You need to purchase your own GEMINI FIVE music legaly, since otherwise the promotors in your country will not have a clue of how many of You that will turn up at a GEMINI FIVE show.
To be very honest, WE dont care of how You get your hands on our music, as long as You come across it :) But unfortunally the music business doesnt work like that! Promotors are only interested of how much they will profit from a show/tour. If enough people in Your city will pounding our word to your clubs, soon the message will stick.
- Thank You so much in advance. Gemini Five Posse.
Review by ALL ACCESS MAG.
Those Swedish rock and roll bad boys Gemini Five are back with their latest slab of in your face high energy rock, 'Sex, Drugs Anarchy'. This high powered rock and roll juggernaut is powered by, Tin Star on vocals and guitar, Hot Rod on bass, Slim Pete on drums, and new member guitarist Dee Dee.
This is the band's third release and let me tell you, it's their best! Not knocking the band's previous outings, which were both rockers, but this one is a friggin' monster! I love how the boys draw you in with, "Thunder & Lightening" an atmospheric intro with acoustic guitar and electric guitar feedback with the crowd cheers fading in before the go for the throat chugging riffs of, "I Am Hollow" starts fires thing up.
'Sex, Drugs Anarchy' has that Motley Crue vibe around their 'Shout At The Devil' era, with the Metal riffs and shouting chorus lines. This leads us to the deep bass lines, and dark lyrics of, "Scream 4 Me" that sounds like Motley in the verses and Def Leppard in the chorus with a sprinkling of Hardcore Superstar thrown in for a little attitude! While tracks like, "Here's Looking at you Kid", "Lay Your Money Down" and the title track just adds more fuel to the fire and shows that Gemini Five can rock out with the best of them.
A sound so rock and so right, it'll blow you away. How they manage to keep this amazing standard up throughout is beyond me.
Gemini Five is such a breath of fresh air from all that boring indie and depressing nu-metal that's around. 'Sex, Drugs Anarchy' is probably best heard at phenomenal volume in an enormous stadium with a dazzling array of pyrotechnics to accompany, but failing that, just crank up your stereo and annoy hell out of the neighbors with what is undoubtedly one of the best rock releases of 2008.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

[click banner 4 interv. w/ Rod]
...the fucking heaviest sound GEMINI FIVE ever had
"Sex Drugs Anarchy" hasn't left my CD player for some time now. Even though the joyful music that GEMINI FIVE
play is something that I sometimes listen to while drinking an ice cold beer, I never thought that such album would
end up in my hands. The Swedish rockers/metallers are back with a vengeance since their new album has the
fucking heaviest sound GEMINI FIVE ever had in one of their albums! The band releases its third full-length album
assault aiming to blow some fucking heads with their dirty Rock & Roll.
After having the chance to listen to the latest HARDCORE SUPERSTAR album, which I admit I have loved, I now
get the chance to review GEMINI FIVE's "Sex Drugs Anarchy", an album full of passion, sleazy motherfucking music
and a (heavy as fuck) guitar...
The good thing with this album is that it sounds more like the band is partying than a studio recording. Tin's vocals
are fucking amazing, the riffing is amazing and the rhythm section is exactly what it has to be, solid as a rock and
hot as hell! Don't have any second thoughts about buying this album! If you are into this whole Glam/Sleaze scene
and you love bands like HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, BACKYARD BABIES and CRASHDÏET then you have found
the new member of you album collection.

"SEX DRUGS ANARCHY" BIOGRAPHY 2008-2009
The new album "SEX DRUGS ANARCHY" will reveal the true colours of the dynamic swedish band known to the world as GEMINI FIVE (named after the NASA space rocket - spelled GEMINI FIVE and pronounced [djemenai faiv]). By
this album the band will blast out their roots and reveal to the world whats hot and whats not!
This is a huge step to finally have it your AND our way, says Hot Rod. No compromises what so ever! Street-gutter-metal-sleaze. -Our strenght has always been our explosive live performances!. By this album there is no gap between of how we deliver either way. The energy on this album is something you can touch and a sensation you can't deny. We're the defenders of the raw and sleazy hardrock which always been cool!!!
Gemini Five entered the Stappenwolf Studio (Stockholm, SWEDEN) in October 2007 and recorded their third album; SEX DRUGS ANARCHY. This time the band themselves acted as producers. - If you want it right you
gotta do it yourself, says Tin Star. The 12 tracks was recorded as a three-piece as lead guitarist Dee Dee joined the band in March 2008
(after the recordings was done and only stayed for 6 months). We know what we want and how the sound is outta be so why bother fighting with a producer.
Swedish rockers Gemini Five joined the Rock & Roll circus 6 years ago with flash and balls and the talent to back it up. Since then the band’s been performing numerous shows in England, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Finland, Holland and landing record deals in the USA, Japan, Brazil, and of course Europe. Their album's and singles has been climbing top charts.
The two first releases "Babylon Rockets" (2003) and "Black:Anthem" (2005) have both received worldwide intense reviews. In January the band received an award for "SEX DRUGS ANARCHY" at the Swedish Metal Awards 2009 for 'best album' which made their third album the most estimated and recognized to date.
[Members]
TIN STAR - a hard working melodymaker and cursed with
the gift of being a talented composer 24/7.
In 2001, Tin began looking for a new cool band
with the ambition to go all the way. Tin's responible for most lyrics and the main music composer alongside bass player Rod. HOT ROD - left Sweden in the late 90s for Hollywood to make the
"big time". Determined to join a band with the right looks
and a cool rock&roll performance.
Rod is never taking the easy way out or compromising
with the looks, output or attitude. Shares the song writing and producing with singer/guitarist Tin. Rod is also the bands spokes-person and main creator/creative force of the band's graphic design. SLIM PETE - a longtime friend and companion to TIN for ages.
Playing together in several bands, Pete was always
the first choice to take on the role as the wild-skin-punisher.
Creating a solid beat for all to give into. TOM WOUDA - the fresh blood and new guy on the block!
Native of Örebro (Sweden) Tom was found in Stockholm early August
2009 after a worldwide search for a complete line-up. Tom's
smoking playing and cool ways makes the band invincible!
