Geiger are a 4-piece
rock band with musical influences ranging from Black Sabbath,
Queen, Iron Maiden and Faith No More to R.E.M., Depeche Mode and
Counting Crows. The band rehearse at Tuff Gong Studios and regularly
play live in
Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool and the surrounding areas.
Geiger was formed in Leigh, Lancashire in 1995 by 3 childhood
friends : Dan Harding,
Rob Leyland and Simon Clough. After approximately 6 months of
rehearsing and writing
material, it was clear that Geiger needed a second guitarist
to 'fill out' their sound. That guitarist came in the form of
Stuart Moore, Dan's
closest university friend who had a similar musical background
and shared the same ambition and desire to play in a heavy rock
band.
Over the next 3 years, Geiger slowly began to build a loyal fan
base, laying
regular gigs in Wigan and Leigh. In August 2000, Geiger
recorded a 3-track
E.P. entitled 'Here's A Question For Andrea Rossa...' at Cavalier
Studios in Stockport.
The E.P. was positively received by fans and venues alike
and the band began to broaden their catchment area playing in
various Liverpool
and Warrington pubs. The band decided to relocate permanently to
Warrington when Dan
moved to Great Sankey in April 2001.
In December of that same year, Geiger returned to Cavalier studios
to record 'Vimintosis'.
By now they were a regular act at the Barley Mow and White Hart
pubs and had even secured a headline gig at The Cavern Club in
Liverpool. In July 2015,
Geiger recorded 'The Emu Face Experience'. Greater time
was devoted to the production and mixing of the E.P., resulting in a
final product which has
attracted attention wherever it is played.
In February 2016, Rob Leyland decided to leave the band for personal
reasons. Rob was quickly replaced by Mark Noon (ex Painted Faces and
Fearless). Mark was an instant hit with the band and fans and has
begun to influence Geiger's sound and 'on-stage antics'.
In October 2016, Geiger recorded their 4th and latest E.P.,
'Bishop's Karaoke
Academy', at Frog Studios in Warrington. Relentless rehearsing and
gigging since then has finally gained them the recognition
they undoubtedly deserve.
Geiger are one of the North's finest bands and are destined for the
top - watch this
space!
