Gertrude are a london based diy punk band who have been playing in the underground music scene for 9 years. They combine mutant electric cello, melodica and clarinet with feisty lyrics and energetic prog punk inventiveness. They have a commitment to working collectively and supporting grass roots diy movements.
Gertrude have toured in Europe and America and produced several eps and 2 albums. This year they launched their second album "Fetch The Parrot Blanket" ( Urban Missfits 2006) This was self - recorded and produced and in every way a diy learning experience.

Hi girls, thank you so much for your great set yesterday, good luck for tonight and looking forward to seeing you soon for Glassglue launch. Happy weekend and lots of love xxx Klarita
Did Canada crumble beneath yer collective feet. Good to see you at the Big Green Gathering, Iona (sorry if I was a little monosyllabic - I'd been attacked earlier in the evening by a mad-ish lady with an ice cream - work it out fer y'self!).
Well girls got lots of feedback from people in Calgary and Edmonton. They love you girls and want you to come back when you can. Heard you run out of CD's in Calgary, cool and hope you are all doing good. Keep up the good work and talk to you all soon.
Thanks for the good times and I hope you enjoy your trip through BC and Alberta. Come back as SK8 misses you girls and she is doing good, getting the stiches out next week. Got your cd's on Monday and Wednesday show so people the world over can hear how great you all.
From your friends at PHC Radio on the other side of the pond.
Thanx for the great trip...that was very memorable and fun. The bus ride home was wonderfully beautiful, I had to be on the early one so I would get home
