GeEkgiRL

"punk/rock/pop"

Take two parts punk, one part country, a smattering of pop and bake in a rock'n'roll oven for 3 minutes. Dress with your preferred outfit and serve.

GeEkgiRL are a three-piece living and working in Manchester, England. They play quite eclectic music ranging from soulful piano, and country acoustic, to full on sexy rock. They also run their own record label, and come with a ‘Warning: May contain traces of boy’.

Ted and Fi used to work together, Fi met Joel in the post office (honestly, we're sick of telling the fateful story, but it's true)

"May contain traces of boy" was released by Rocket Fuelled Records in August 2006.

For a full list of previous appearances and for anything else you need to know, please visit the official website.

To date GeEkgiRL have played alongside the likes of Charlotte Church (yes, really), Ari-Up of The Slits, Nizlopi, The Bodyrockers, The Hedrons, David McAlmont, Horse, Liz Green, and most recently The Gossip.

best industry quotes

"Geekgirl… 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
"What with Beth Ditto and Kate Jackson vying to step into the sparkly stilettos of female role model for the disillusioned, it seems apt that Manchester should put forward its own candidate for the position of leader of the Topshop clad fashionistas. Step forward Sofia Milone, not since the days when Nico rode her bicycle around Prestwich has our fair city been graced with such an intriguing female vocalist."
"...like KT Tunstall with a rocket up her arse (or perhaps more fairly, PJ Harvey), stood alongside the rhythmically conscious punk band that mischievously stuck it there. "
