Slunt (often written as
SLUNT) is an American alternative rock band that formed in New York City in 2002. Comprising lead singer and rhythm guitarist Abby Gennet, lead guitarist Pat Harrington, bassist Ilse Baca and drummer Charles Ruggiero, the band has released two albums:
Get a Load of This in 2005 and
One Night Stand in 2006.
Guitarist and vocalist Gennet began writing songs in 2000, hiring drummer Charles Ruggiero and bassist Adam Small -- both musicians from a "jazz/funk" background -- to form Slunt in 2002. As Gennet moved focus to vocal duty, the band enlisted lead guitarist Pat Harrington after Gennet saw him with his previous band, Gaggle of Cocks; Jenny Gunns replaced bassist Small shortly after.
