G'DAY
Australian sister band GERMEIN - Georgia, Ella, & Clara Germein - grew up jamming together on their family farm in Adelaide. Raised on the records of B.B. KING, VAN MORRISON, & CAT STEVENS - their Dad played trumpet in a New Orleans rhythm & blues band, sparking the girls love for loud, feel good music they could dance to - while their Mum often led singing around the piano. Starting out busking on the main street of their local town with their younger brother, Germein soon began playing local venues while crafting their own unique brand of indie pop.
Georgia, a gifted songwriter, won her first of seven Young Composers Awards at the age of eleven. In high school, as her calibre of songs increased, she sought after creating a band to tour her songs. She taught herself the guitar, while Ella taught herself the bass, and as nobody played the drums yet – Clara - who was working as a surfing instructor at the time, taught herself the drums.
Germein began turning heads as their distinct sibling magic continued to overflow into their charismatic and euphoric live show, described as nothing short of mesmerising. Taking the lead from strong female artists like HAIM, CHVRCHES, and TEGAN & SARA; it was clear that Germein possessed the kind of close musical partnership that can only be shared by siblings. Inspired by the vocal harmonies of iconic bands such as Queen and Fleetwood Mac, both whom Germein were honoured to appear on the line-up with at the Isle of Wight Festival UK.
Fresh off the back of their debut USA performances at SXSW in Austin, Texas – sisters Georgia (guitar, keys), Ella (bass, electric cello), & Clara Germein (drums) release their brand new single ‘Suitcase’ ahead of their performances at The Great Escape in Brighton this May. Writing, recording & producing ‘Suitcase’ themselves in their home studio in the Adelaide Hills, the track’s earthy tones are deepened with edgy guitars, percussive drums, soaring vocals, topped off with their iconic sibling harmonies.
The band are currently on their 2024 UK Tour opening for Sting, Tom JOnes, OLLY MURRS, THE CORRs & Shania Twain.
