Background/ Composition: This four-piece band from Calgary are the underdog who just scored. They've been around since 1996, but only recently has their spunky blues rock started turning more and more heads in Canada. Their third album, Blood Guts Bruises Cuts, was released June 2. Grade: 92 Comment: This is the only time it's legit to say...

Dudes Singer "Poisoned" After Drinking Bug Spray On Stage

If you passed a random cup, glass, or beer bottle of liquid that was sitting out in the open, unattended, you probably wouldn't drink it, would you? Common sense says no, because even though it might look like apple juice in a glass, leftover beer some lameass just couldn't finish, or even milk someone couldn't use to wash down the...

The Dudes @ CMW 2010

in
By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) March 15, 2010 12:09 pm
Background/Composition: The Dues are four guys from Calgary playing servicable but unremarkable dude rock. Grade: 65 Comment: At the very least, the band get points for christening themselves with such a fitting name. How else would you describe four nondescript young men playing nondescript rock music about love and fighting and girl cops and...

CMW 2010 Hot Acts: The Dudes

in
By CHARTattack Staff March 10, 2010 4:17 pm
Some bands are born to suffer. Just take Calgary's The Dudes, for example. Lead singer Dan Vacon's misadventures are so legendary that he'd give Steve-O from Jackass a run for his money. That's the sort of thing we like in our rock bands, so CHARTattack got in touch with Vacon before his band arrived in Toronto for Canadian Music Week. Hometown...

The Dudes Are Horribly Accident Prone

in
By Siobhan Ozege (CHARTattack) December 9, 2009 4:50 pm
It's been a pretty rough few months for Calgarians The Dudes — or should I say the Bad News Bears. They've found themselves in the back of ambulances almost non-stop since the release of their aptly titled Blood Guts Bruises Cuts album in June. The band have faced bad luck at every turn, and it seems to be touching not only band members, but...

The Dudes — "Girl Police"

By CHARTattack Staff October 5, 2009 1:59 pm
All four members of The Dudes rush out of their homes to play an all-dudes house show in the clip for "Girl Police." A bunch of ladies attempt to crash it in vain. "Girl Police" can be found on The Dudes' sophomore album, Blood. Guts. Bruises. Cuts.

The Dudes Are Proud Calgarians

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) June 17, 2009 1:09 pm
Few Canadian bands are as criminally underappreciated as The Dudes. The Calgary outfit have been churning out likable, no-nonsense rock 'n' roll to a smart, stable following for over a decade. While their tunes could easily be envisioned blaring out of a car stereo or on modern rock radio, the band have somehow remained an unplucked gem for...

The Plaid Tongued Devils have become Calgary's premier party band over the last 13 years.

According to vocalist Ty Semaka, the inspiration for the band came from an unlikely source way back in the day....
