Girl band fly half way round world for Huddersfield gig

GERMEIN, the girl band who will be supporting Little Mix at their Huddersfield concert, have spoken of their excitement at the Stadium gig. And it’s a world away from growing up in Adelaide Hills in Australia.

Georgia (guitar, keys), Ella (electric cello, bass) and Clara Germein (drums) have been playing together for so long that the band has become second nature to them.

Ahead of the July 15 gig, they said: “Being able to play in front of such huge audiences across the UK is an absolute dream come true,” says Georgia.

“This year is really a turning point for us as a band.

“We are proud that we’ve been able to march forward and prove to the world that we can make it doing what we love regardless of being young and female,” adds Clara.

“Whether it’s raised eyebrows when you tell someone that you’re a drummer or not believing we really write our own material, we are happy to tackle the stereotypes as women in the industry.”

As well as joining the Little Mix Summer Hits Tour, they will play a set at the Isle of Wight Festival and it coincides with the release of their new single ‘Talking’.

The siblings liken themselves to Haim and Chvrches, adding: “We love bands with a strong harmony feel like Fleetwood Mac and Queen and the edginess of Florence and the Machine and The Wombats” says Ella.

“Plus you can’t beat the fun energy of iconic female artists from over the years like the Spice Girls, Beyoncé and of course Little Mix.”
