About Me

Chad Gerber is the frontman/guitarist for The Suicide Denial, but along with that he is a guitarist/lyricist/producer/pianist/composer/synthisist, who has been involved professionally in music since the age of 17 years old. Chad began pursuing music as a child after he realized music was the only thing that came naturally to him. Due to an odd birth related brain disorder, Chad was unable to retain most objective, sequential, and analytical thought (numbers, patterns, puzzles). This mental handicap caused his right brain (creative side) to overcompensate for the lack of left brain activity on the other side. As he grew up, everything he learned that should have gone into his left brain, was translated, and transfered into his right. As a result, he naturally drifted towards music, simply because it made sense. At the age of 8 he began playing classical guitar, at 11 acoustic, then electric at 12. As you guessed, guitar is his primary weapon, but he has been known to play some mean Xbox. Chad is a music whore, who has whored his skills to hip hop, folk, rock, classical, latin rock, acoustic pop, and film. He has toured nationally, performed live on radio, and tv, A Prairie Home Companion, recorded with members of Guns N Roses, Toto, OPM, Aloe Blacc, the infamous Blake Knight (ill harmonics), been pointlessly pursued by Sony Records, Capitol Records, Hollywood Records, Thrive Records, and has been kicked out of a church. Chad first received airplay at the age of 16 with with his song "As An Angel", Hollywood Records then came sniffing around, but Chad declined several of their song writing offers because they were shady.
Eventually Chad formed the Electronica rock band THE SUICIDE DENIAL which is signed to Divulge Records. Preview and Download
their entire debut album "I'm Sorry LA" for FREE.Chad's music has received airplay in the US, UK, South America, Australia, and Outer Space (Satellite Radio), and he did it all by switching to Geico.

This is what random people look like to me...

Tonight I went out with some friends, had a good time, saw plenty of new faces. Whenever I'm just sitting somewhere, everything I see turns into weird almost cartoon like situations. Sometimes I see h...

I locked my keys in the car, and have footage

Today was just a splendid day in wind paradise. 40 degrees, hurricane winds, leaves in your face, and a winters chill upon my back. No seriously, today sucked. I had to bust out the arctic coat to mak...

The film score count down, coughed up blood, and weird dreams

Well, it's that time of night again where I'm sitting awake, thinking about all the happy people who sleep whenever they want. I'm a bit bitter, but I'm working through it. I go to S.A.M. meetings on ...

Who am I? These videos will give you a glimse. I’m weird.

At the bottom are a few videos that I made tonight, just messing around. My buddy John and I had a much needed video game night, to just relax after a long week, and kill 12 year old kids that shouldn...

It’s been a very long...year. To say the least.

I hate fall, and I hate winter more. Both of which I get to be in Montana for this year. So.... a lot of writing, and movie watching I guess. I'm counting down the days till I go home. My goal is to p...
