Artist description Fake Gimms successfully breed an original experimental sound while holding true to their roots in popular rock and indie music. Since their official formation in the summer of 2000, the members have been mastering a style that supplements crunching, overdriven electric guitars reminicent of Muse and Nirvana with melodic Beatles-esque vocal melodies. By lacing this already enticing combination with a hint of warm synths and keys, Fake Gimms have achieved the versatile and listener-friendly sound that today's rock fans have longed for.

Artist History Members Joe Pfeiffer (guitar, rhodes piano, vocals), Greg Kuter (guitar, vocals) and Jared Duncan (bass, rhodes piano, synth) are no strangers to each others' musical flavors and abilities. Crossing paths in the mid-ninties they have grown together as musicians, performers and as friends, making the writing process for Fake Gimms nearly effortless. Tom Morra (drums) completed the lineup in 2000, fortifying the long sought-after experimental rock sound the trio was looking for. As a four-piece, they have developed a virtual library of songs and recordings that over time have been worked and reworked by the members in effort to perfect their unique style. In 2001, they released their self-titled EP which features a mere taste of the band's material. The four song disc showcases a rock oriented "Beyond Gospel" and even stretches to a jazz-influenced "Rattlesnake". Since the EP's release they have performed in New Jersey and New York City, developing an intimate and loyal following of fans. The fresh rock sound of Fake Gimms has grabbed experienced and casual music listeners alike in the New York area, just as it will when it reaches rock radio waves across the nation.
