Stockholm, Sweden-based rockers
GEMINI FIVE have issued the following update:
"Lead guitarist
Dee Dee [
Dany Douglas] has very rapidly decided to leave the band due to illness and private/personal reasons. His decision is understandable and accepted by the other bandmembers. This is, however, something we could not predict and therefore some 'last-minute actions' need to be considered. The show [on Saturday] September 27 in Sundsvall, Sweden is forced to be postponed 'til later and the in-store acoustic appearance at Heron City in Stockholm is unfortunally cancelled!!! The Stockholm show at Tantogården on Wednesday, October 1 is still on thanks to
Martin Sweet of
CRASHDIET, who is filling in temporarily on lead guitar. Stay tuned for more news and updates regarding the situation. We're very sorry for all the inconvenience."
GEMINI FIVE released its third album,
"Sex Drugs Anarchy", on May 2. The CD was produced by bandmembers
Hot Rod and
Tin Star and was recorded and mixed at the

Commented bassist/vocalist
Hot Rod, "This is a huge step to finally have it your AND our way. No compromises whatsoever! Street-gutter-metal-sleaze. Our strength has always been our explosive live performances! By this album there is no gap between of how we deliver either way. The energy on this album is something you can touch and a sensation you can't deny. We're the defenders of the raw and sleazy hard rock, which has always been cool!!!"
