"The Story of the Geekus Box"

My name is Alex. I'm seventeen years old and I created my MySpace page in case anyone knows anything about this band Geekus. In January 2007 I moved to New York with my Mom and Dad. My Father bought a house on Long Island. We were there for about a month when I decided to check out the attic. Besides the attic being nasty with bat crap and cob webs there was this very odd strongbox way back in the corner that looked like it had been there forever.

At first I thought it would be filled with something like old books or old Playboys but instead it had all this stuff about this band Geekus. In the box there were a bunch of old pictures, lyric sheet's, a 1/4 inch reel to reel tape and an old eight track cartridge tape. I actually didn't even know what an eight track cartridge was until my grandfather told me. A letter from Tommy Geekus was in the box saying "who ever finds this to pass this music on".

Everything in the box is documented and all the pictures have writing on the back of them. That's how I knew how to labeled the pictures. What's weird is it is pretty clear this band was from Florida. I have no clue how their stuff ended up in my attic on Long Island. I wound up sending the eight track cartrage to get converted to CD. I was dying to find out what Geekus sounded like, and they sound totally cool. Check out "Lighting Flash" and check out the vibe on "Spooky", it sounds like a cross of Hendrix and Grand Funk Railroad. THEY ROCK!

Keep in mind they were 17 years old and 4 of the songs on the player (from the 8 track cartridge) were recorded with only two microphones. The "NEW" track "A Hard Days Night" is from the reel to reel found in the box. The songs on the reel to reel are studio recordings. I had the songs from the reel to reel mastered. There's info on the inside lid of the reel to reel box that may help lead to information about Geekus.

Geekus opened for B. B. King, Edger Winter, Brownsville Station, Canned Heat, Mongo Santa Maria and many other groups popular at that time. Anyway, the letter from Tommy Geekus had a request to who ever found the strongbox. It said: "Hundreds of thousands of people rocked with Geekus. Hopefully you will help them rock again."

So PLEASE, if you know anything about this band I'd love to hear from you and if any of the Geekus band members are still around I'd love to hear from you as well. Thanks, I hope you can help! Peace out. Alex

Geekus was rock / classic rock / garage band from Florida, United States of America. Geekus featured: Tommy Geekus (bass & vocals), Gary Geekus (drums & vocals), and Jimi Geekus (guitar & lead vocals).
