(Ireland) which has become a common center for local musicians to play and get tattooed, and it was during a local music event that they met Aaron Doyle (rhythm guitar) and Cormac Feeley (bass): the Rude Dudez were formed!
Theirs is a type of highly energetic music they call "Tribal Skunk", which brings together ska-punk and folk.
They began to make themselves known in local pubs through acoustic evenings (open Mic, starting in reduced formation, vocals and guitar), to get to perform in more prestigious venues (including the Underground Venue, Workman's Club,Sin’E, Fibber Magees, Drop Dead Twice and Whelan's in Temple Bar in Dublin, the Harbour Bar in Bray) after being able to find their definitive drummer, Rory Lahart, with a long search of 12 attempts!
They also had a mini tour in Italy where they played at Surfer Joe in Livorno.
The band works very hard, with 5 DIY (self-produced) music videos released in just few months, the first album released on the 30th November 2019 and the second already in production, with release scheduled within the spring 2020.
Literally "The Rude Dudez" (or dudes) means "the rough guys", starting from the term "Rude Boy", which in the Anglo-Jamaican subculture meant the street boy; being "rude" meant being someone when society said you were nobody.
In their conception, the term “rude” takes on a more particular meaning since today those who have the courage to say the truth in the face are defined as "rough". So being "rude" means being "sincere".
It is through the denunciation of the absurd impositions of today's society that we find their frankness, their "sincerity", their "rudeness"; an energetic appeal to the awakening of consciences, to the return to a humanity that is being lost day after day, and at the same time an invitation to take our dreams and destiny in our hands.
