The band formed in early 1969 and, with their new/experimental sound, they secured a considerable German fan base. Gila's original lineup was Daniel Alluno, Fritz Scheyhing, Conny Veit and Walter Wiederkehr. In 1971, they recorded their début album Gila - Free Electric Sound and disbanded in 1972.
In 1973, Veit reformed the band with a new lineup, and the same year recorded their second studio album, the krautrock/psychedelic folk Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. In 1974, they disbanded again.
In 1999, a live album was released, Night Works, which was recorded in 1972 and was originally intended for radio broadcast.Discography
