Joe Gideon

Joe Gideon first came to wider attention with his band, Bikini Atoll, signed to Bella Union in 2003. The first album, Moratoria, was critically well received. Inspired by dream-state visions under the influence of san pedro on a trip to Bolivia, Gideon decided to hone his craft as a songwriter and lyricist and formed Joe Gideon & The Shark, a two-piece band with his sister Viva. Their debut album, Harum Scarum, achieved rave reviews and a rare 6-stars-out-of-5 review in Time Out magazine. Joe Gideon & The Shark toured with Seasick Steve and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds to packed venues across the UK. In 2020 Gideon teamed up with Clouds Hill Label and, along with Jim Sclavunos and band mate Gris-De-Lin, completed recording and mixing his record ‘Armagideon’.
