The Gaa Gaas are a British Rock band from Jersey in the Channel Islands, who now reside in London and Brighton, UK. They formed in 2003 after attending a weekly garage punk night called 'Bomp', which was based in their hometown of St. Helier. The name came about due to them being off the rails in their younger days.

Since their relocation, they have toured throughout the UK and Europe. They were featured on the compilation 'Nineteen78' by Filthy Little Angels Records (2008), and then signed to Global Net Records in association with The Playground and released their debut single 'Voltaire' in 2010. They have received broadcast from BBC Radio 1 and MTV 2, featured in the new blood section of Artrocker magazine and have played at Jersey Live Festival as well as Drop Dead Festival that originally started up at CBGB.

Singer/Guitarist and founding member Gavin Tate is the nephew of Troy Tate, who was a member of Liverpool post-punk band The Teardrop Explodes, and Birmingham post-punk band Fashion, who also produced the early sessions for The Smiths first album.
