The Gestures

The Gestures

The Gestures were a teenage American rock group based out of Mankato, Minnesota.

They are primarily known for their chart hit "Run, Run, Run" from the Fall of 1964. "Run, Run, Run" has been favorably cited by some rock historians as containing a Beatle-esque, British Invasion sound, with crisp guitar playing and a quick beat.

The Gestures were: Gus Dewey (Guitar), Tom Klugherz (Bass), Dale Menten (Guitar/Vocals), and Bruce Waterston (Drums).

"Run, Run, Run" was released on the Soma label in October 1964 and became a sizeable hit in the Midwest. Nationally, the song hit #44 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. The Gestures released a few more singles but none of them were successful nationally (although "Don't Mess Around" b/w 'Candlelight" was almost as big as "Run, Run, Run" regionally); the group broke up shortly after.

"Run, Run, Run" has been featured on numerous compilations, most notably Rhino's "Nuggets" set in 1998.
