The Dudes: Barbers, Thieves and Bartenders

As the band name The Dudes indicates, Calgary based alt rock outfit are all about manly sweaty live shows and a passion for Rock 'n Roll. With their recent release of Barbers, Thieves and Bartenders, which is the initial effort of a trilogy of their albums to be released in 2012. Teamed up with Jeff Dawson at Mush Room Studios and The Den from Vancouver, the quartet deployed their 6 tracks of expansive musicianship: from onslaught of earsplitting scream in Tear it Up, groovy alt-country rock tunes, American Girl and Saturday Night to emotive ballads Good Times. Listening to this album excites me to know more about the 2 upcoming albums.

The Dudes are currently on a Canadian Tour and stopping by in Toronto Tomorrow, Saturday April 28th at Horseshoe Tavern. Who will be joining me?
