Undoubtedly, The Gee Strings are one of the outstanding ´77 punkrock bands in Europe. With authentic and sovereign raw energy, they passionately blast their 2 minute songs through the speakers, always with the optimal doses of sex, sweat, and rock & roll.

Influenced by the Sex Pistols, Heartbreakers, The Stooges, and of course, the Ramones, The Gee Strings create their own convincing punk rock & roll of international quality, not only regarding their live performance. Their dirty, catchy songs, somewhere between Detroit and New York ´74 and London ´77, are crowned with the voice and inimitable stage show by female lead singer Ingi Pop.

Their third album “Arrest Me” brought out by the American punkrock label Dead Beat Records, has received celebratory reviews in fanzines everywhere. All Gee Strings recordings have by now also been released by various South American labels (see the discography).
“Live in Sao Paolo” will soon be released on CD by Red Star Records in Brazil.

Since 1994 they have performed over 600 live shows in Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, France and Spain on occasions with Turbonegro, The Stitches, Antiseen and Dead Moon. They have also been on the same ticket touring with the Buzzcocks and The Lurkers. Their 2002 and 2003 tours through Brazil were, not to say the least, full of adventure and inspiration.

Ingi Pop (often named Germany´s Joan Jett) who´s rock´n´roll lifestyle has irreparably taken one set of her vocal chords and guitarjunkie Bernadette (over 6-foot tall, effeminately made-up and rarely seen without a guitar in his hands) started the band in the early nineties.
German punkrock icon Nik Nasty (playing in countless Punkrockbands since`79) fell in love with The Gee Strings and joined the band on bass in 2002. Drummer Steve the Beef more than perfectly amended the line up after original member Jac-in-the-back finally surrendered, suffering a burnout.

As of this writing, they are on the road, punk rocking in Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Spain, promoting their best of CD, released in Japan on Revel Yell Music, as well as their brand new longplayer “A Bunch Of Bugs” released on Stereodrive!Green Hell Records, Germany as well as Dead Beat Records, USA. .
