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.
