* Gerling made their Ireland and UK debut on April 21st with the release of the single Death To The Apple Gerls" on the Infectious label. * Gerling are three Australian maddies who take no prisoners. Their music covers all bases. Their sound veers from alt-rock through esoteric electronica to jazzy Sun Ra-type improvisation. You want punk rock; you've got it in bucket loads. * Originally formed some seven years ago, these three backpacked boys have lived fast and desperate lives. They started out playing the half-empty beer barns of Sydney's Western suburbs. This last year they have become the band in their native land. * Gerling have just completed 'The Big Day Out Tour" of Australia and New Zealand - a tour that did not pass without incident. Gerling came this close (hold thumb and forefinger pinched together) to getting kicked off said tour after Burke chose to jump all over Nine Inch Nails equipment. Seems Trent Reznor was a little unhappy about this.
