Album Notes

Undoubtedly, The Gee Strings belong to the outstanding '77 Punk Rock 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 Punk Rock 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.
"Live in Sao Paulo" will soon be released on CD by Red Star Records in Brazil.Since 1994 they have performed over 350 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ｫs Joan Jett) whoｫs rockｫnｫroll lifestyle has irreparably taken one set of her vocal chords, Guitarjunkie Bernadette (over 6-foot tall, effeminately made up and rarely seen without a guitar in his hands) and the non-stop complaining sourpuss
"Jac in the Back" on drums and backing vocals ("This rock and roll shit is boringﾉonly drinking and masturbating") started the band in the early nineties.
With Nik Nasty, who has been playing in countless punk rock bands since '79 (Canal Terror, The Puke, Molotow Soda) they have found the optimal remedy against the chronic "time for a new bass player syndrome."
