GATEB

 

Gina And The Eastern Block (aka GATEB) is an American band formed in Los Angeles. The band was formed by record producer Marc Jordan (Slash, The Mowgli’s, The Cult, Stitched Up Heart, Bleached, Little Miss Nasty) and uniquely talented and blazingly sexy vocalist Gina KatonGATEB’s touring unit includes Creighton Emrick from Orgy and has also featured current Deftones and former Marilyn Manson bass player Fred Sablan.

Strip Club Anthems! GATEB released their debut single, "Sippin' On A Forty" in 2016 and attracted significant attention for the over the top salaciousness and sexiness of the accompanying music video for the song. The song pays homage to boredom, day drinking and lipstick lesbian sex. The dark, brooding, hip hop infused track “Bootsy Wally” (also released in 2016) has enjoyed significant popularity as well. Both songs have become verifiable stripper anthems inspiring many people to post performance videos online. #sippinonaforty #bootsywally

The band released the raucous and nasty rocker "Get Gone" in late 2016. "Get Gone" has received significant air play on BBCRadio1 probably because it is the perfect "go fuck yourself" anthem.

The band released several more singles including “I Love You I Hate You”, “Big Black Van”, “Wasted” and “Fuck The System” in 2018 and 2019.

The quarantine of 2020 enabled GATEB to write, record and release "Bloodsucker Motherfucker" featuring Kevin Thrasher from Escape The Fate and Machine Gun Kelly as well as a nasty cover version of the Nine Inch Nails masterpiece "Head Like A Hole". 

“The Insanity” was released in March of 2021 and is the first release from the band’s deal with Symphonic Distribution. 

“Pussy Gon Eat You”, released in May 2021, is a highly infectious electronic and alternative metal track co-produced by hip hop and electronic music producer The Snowy White Owl and Marc Jordan. “The lyrics to Pussy Gon Eat You” are not for the faint of heart. This song is ‘Pussy Power’ on crack. I did things vocally that I’ve never done before. I got weird!”, says vocalist Gina Katon.

The band released a mind blowing cover of Korn’s epic song “Freak On A Leash” in May 2022 that features a collaboration with Little Miss Nasty and Heidi Shepherd from Butcher Babies. The song was called one of the best rock/metal releases on 2022 by LOUDWIRE. Watch the video here.

Gina And The Eastern Block regularly tours nationally and internationally and has amassed a large cult following across the world.
