Geko was formed in 1983 by Sarah Folkman and Carrie McNinch, who were roommates and attending school at the time. Both were influenced by early death rock, rockabilly and punk rock. After a few years of performing live, the band recorded a six song demo in the late eighties. The band issued their first proper release, the "Probing the Gash in Her Head 7", in 1991 for Open Records. The band issued their sole full-length album Join My Pretty World in 1992. The duo dissolved shortly after the release of their debut album.
