Jamie is Turbo Gerbil's renowned Concussionist. He enjoys writing songs, singing and hitting things. Hard. Really, really hard. And Turbo-fast, of course. Stand back, we cannot be responsible for the shrapnel flying from the sticks of this explosive performer. Doing all this while singing is like slamming home runs while riding a unicycle - 150mph on an infinite high-wire. No net, no helmet. Just pure soaring, growling and naked vocals stripping away the peeling paint from your body and injecting 1000 volts directly into your heart. Like the rest of this fearless band Jamie laughs at danger, welcomes the fantastic and eats ambiguity for lunch, sometimes with a little mustard. contact Jamie: jamie@turbogerbil.com |

Erik is the Bass Slinger and Groovemeister in Turbo Gerbil. Going where others fear to tread, he is a master at propelling the band forward at breakneck speeds, all without losing the almighty groove. He is also unpredictable... 4 strings? 5? 12? who can tell? Could be anything on a given night and how much he has to bribe the other band members ( i.e, roadies ) to help move his backline. Strong, powerful vocals bring just the touch needed to the bands not so subtle lyrics. Singing while playing high speed weaving bass lines is not something many attempt, but Erik just laughs off such trivialities. Such is just daily life in the adventure we call Turbo Gerbil. An enthusiastic cyclist, Erik also enjoys collecting road rash scars. contact Erik: erik@turbogerbil.com |

Noise. The kind of righteous noise evoked by amplifiers getting kicked in the butt by hot guitars. The beautiful screams of amplifier induced feedback. These are the sounds that make this guitarists' heart giddy with joy. This primal energy needs to be controlled, and the battle is fought gallantly by the almost but not quite out of control playing of guitar slinger Steve. From melodic high speed passages, to ripping metal riffs, to new interpretations of the classics, Steve provides the punch and sizzle required to bring the Turbo Gerbil band's vision to life. contact Steve: steve@turbogerbil.com
