Gina was cast in the original Hollywood production of "Rock Of Ages" and has big screen appearances in Adam Sandler's "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" and alongside Anna Farris in "House Bunny". For the past 2 years Gina and The Eastern Block have been doing it big, consisting of Gina killing it on the mic/dance moves and Todd Weinstock (former guitar player of Glassjaw) providing colour and texture and producer/drummer Marc Jordan (The Cult, Velvet Revolver) laying down muti-continental grooves and beats. Be ready for a full out rock and roll performance - a maniacally cerebral live show with four very tantalizing and visually appealing female backup dancers (AKA the Gina And The Eastern Block "Mafia").
