The Gerunds formed in August 2003 in the parking lot of Fatty's Bar in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. Since that time, they've done a lot of dicking around without ever intending to be a real band. However, that's all history now.
The Gerunds made their live debut on September 11, 2009 and are going to be playing as much as possible, be sure to check back for news and updates!
Videos from the first Gerunds show @ The Tritone in Philadelphia, PA; September 11, 2009:
Normally there'd be an insult here now with the usual dick references. Since you not only have Dick references (Hawthorne Abendsen's book was called "Heavy lies the grashopper" I believe) but Chandler references too, I'll keep 'em to myself.
dear gerunds, thank you for taking the old saying that goes "make an effort" seriously. if you could come up with the return fare that would be great. I hope that i find somebun who is as kind a person as my friend Mr. Matschy of Limmer might help to pay for my travelling expenses I am very much looking forward to meet Mr. Cortner and hope to find him in good condition after your next show! pls. let me know early in advance when your next confirmed date is - i am sorry but they would take away my knife at the airport so i will have to travel by postal service and that means about 8 - 10 days+ via reg. airmail letter from germany to philly. in the meantime please remember that proverb that auntie haselotte found in that old lower saxon schoolbook: "it is indeed much better to open up your home to give shelter to a travelling bunny than to wait for a beautiful dove to take a shit in the palm of your hand" yours, haselore
teenage kicks is a horrible song and that dag nasty cover is as useless as staring at the rudeboys - but "dag nasty" after that is much better and a great song after all these years still "lass meiner hand, lass meiner hand" hahahaa cheers, haselore
Sleeper Agent! & Rustbuckit play the Sidebar July 11th... this show features members of Government Issue, Minor Threat and Black Market Baby!! Don't miss it!
