The soul, spirit, and energy of punk rock is alive in these three young men! GIMMIX band really stormed our music scene and have became one of the most exciting bands in all of Saudi Arabia. We were introduced to them by our friends in the beginning of the pandemic and they immediately became one of the nicest people we have met.
They were so excited and ready to just play live but with the difficulties of hosting live shows at the beginning of the pandemic, we thought we'd do a Banana Peel Session with them in a safe setting which was the first one we shot for season 2. We met at the store at 8 am on a Saturday morning and man when they started playing, the roof blew off the place! (even with just 3 of us there during the shoot).
They recently just released their debut album Dance On Fire which is unbelievably good! It's available now on all streaming platforms please check it out and support the band.
Setlist:
1- Dance On Fire 00:03
2- Cry For Help 04:45
3- All For One 09:50
