5/5

Geko were a gothic rock duo based in Los Angeles. Formed in 1983, the band's nucleus comprised vocalist/bassist Sarah Folkman and guitarist Carrie McNinch. They released one full-length album, titled Join My Pretty World, in 1992 before disbanding.

Geko was formed in 1983 by Sarah Folkman and Carrie McNinch, who were roommates and attending school at the time. Both were influenced by early death rock, rockabilly and punk rock. After a few years of performing live, the band recorded a six song demo in the late eighties. The band issued their first proper release, the "Probing the Gash in Her Head 7", in 1991 for Open Records.

Produced with the help of prominent Los Angeles producer Earle Mankey, the band issued their sole full-length album Join My Pretty World in 1992. The album compiled previously recorded tracks with new recordings. Ned Raggett of allmusic called the band "sharply powerful" and the album was "rough, industrial-strength darkwave music that easily bears repeated listening."
