GEMRECORDS LIMITED PRESS RELEASE 12 January 2012
G.I.GEM PERFORM DEBUT ALBUM
“CALL TO ACTION” AT INDY JAX HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, HERTS, UK
G.I.Gem’s latest album “Call to Action” has seen Gemma Ingram (vocals & electric
violin) collaborate with guitarist Alex Kaupa, blending her electric violin arrangements with a range of guitar sounds. The album will be released on Feb 18th 2012 on itunes and across the internet,
on record label Gem Records Limited, with a later release of remixes featuring producers from across the UK including Jimitha
Funk from Hemel Hempstead, Rob Offender from Reading (previous band Does it Offend You), Mike Cliffe (from Kingston), Kelly
Fish from Hemel Hempstead, and Henry Rundell.
A live showcase has been organised at Indy Jax in Hemel Hempstead on Friday 10th February with more
gigs being announced throughout the year on facebook (G.I.Gem) and the website www.gigem.co.uk.
Performing with Gemma Ingram and Alex Kaupa on guitar, will be Tim Watt on bass and David Sargeant
on drums, with electronic backing, as well as a projector installation.
Respectively, the album is the third written by Gemma Ingram which was all recorded on a Macbook
using Garageband, before being picked up by local and National Producers to contribute to the remix projects. Gemma Ingram has also written music professionally for Hasbro including music for the toys Action Man,
Lazy Town and game Operation. Alex Kaupa has played in many bands previously
such as White Sunday to name but one.
With a growing fanbase throughout the world (including over 350 US fans on the database) G.I.Gem
will be gigging the new material worldwide later this year.
Members of Hemel Hempstead Movie Makers will be filming the event to compile footage for the first
music video, which will be posted on YouTube after Feb 18th.
Signed copies of their album with 14 songs, will be sold on the night for a bargain rate of only
£5 (which is half price than a digital download.)
Artwork for the album and costumes, have been designed and made with the help of local graphic artist
and photographer Stars Newis, and print shop Image Two.
The gig costs £5 on the night, and £4 in advance from Indy Jax.
