Gavin Gold (guitar and vocals) from Cape Town, South Africa met Jake Adams (bass and backing vocals) from Maine, USA at a Brooklyn music venue. Both musicians recently moved to New York City to broaden their horizons and to explore the vibrant music scene. They decided to meet up for a jam and things just fell into place. They performed their first gig less than a week later which went down like a storm. Hence “The Rebel Nerds” was born. Jake Levitin (Drums) from Brooklyn NYC then joined the band and with the combination of strong vocals and harmonies, quirky tunes, and a rocking beat, the sky is the limit!!
