Informationen zum Artikel: Tokyo Garage Rock Yakuza THE GIMMIES are rock action personified with screaming guitars that tap into the Detroit tradition of the Stooges & MC5 and matched by a cockiness that would put The Pretty Things to shame. Combined with their love of Australian garage rock and their English-as-a-second-language-lyrics, they twist rock music into shrapnel only matched by their Japanese brethren Guitar Wolf, Teengenerate and the King Brothers. THE GIMMIES' latest album 'Roll Up', to be released on Melbourne's own internationally acclaimed Off The Hip Records in April, not only showcases a tougher than a burnt steak energy ("Flame Of Wings', 'Turning Into Your Mind', 'Quaky City', ') but also displays a classic rock maturity ('Comin' Through The Night'). Their salute to Oz Rock completed with their passionate cover of the Lime Spiders 'Beyond The Fringe'. Having played rock and roll hosts in Japan to the likes of the Stems, the Spazzys and the Celibate Rifles it's Australian audiences turn to get front of stage with a beer in hand to witness the live onslaught of THE GIMMIES and make them feel welcome in Australia's sweaty live dens. THE GIMMIES live are an adrenalin addiction - take the chance to plug into their power.
