Gina X Performance

Formed in Cologne, Germany, in 1978, the core of Gina X Performance comprised charismatic Gina Kikoine (vocals and lyrics) and writer-producer-musician Zeus B. Held. Between 1979 and 1981 the group released three albums of cool arthouse electro-disco: "Nice Mover", "X-Traordinaire" and "Voyeur", followed by "Yinglish" under the name [a52866] in 1984. The group's classic 1979 single "No G.D.M." was a club hit on both sides of the Atlantic and remains a cult classic thanks to electro/synthcore compilations such as "Nag Nag Nag". Slinky second single "Nice Mover" is also an established favourite, having appeared on the Andrew Weatherall compilation "Nine O'Clock Drop".
