N.E.R.D.’s members met in 1987. One of the group's members used to annoy his brother by playing his favorite record too loud. N.E.R.D. began playing at Colleague, a college club. The group used to sell their tapes out of their van at the local music store.

N.E.R.D.'s latest album is the band's first since the group members went to work on independent projects three years ago. The band is in the midst of the promotional tour for their newest project.

A member of N.E.R.D. started dating a girl whose grandmotherwas a record executive. She passed the single on to them and the band signed a record deal soon after. N.E.R.D.’s first album did not do so well, but the second album was a hit, going gold.

The group is sure to schedule a show at Engineer in Biloxi every time they tour because they used to play there all the time before they made it big. TheSeats.com is the one stop shop for the band, with N.E.R.D. tickets, concert seating charts, and touring schedule.
