[Swoop]

Definitely got to see th' Dudes, Bliss is a song I grew up with!

[ManDownUnder]

It IS the national anthem... (isn't it?):innocent:

I believe the opening vocals answer that...


YAAAAAAAAAAAA YAA YAA YAA YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YAA YAA YAA YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Hitcher]

Farts of my vintage can vividly recall regularly seeing Th' Dudes perform at the Gluepot in Ponsonby. What an intimate little venue that was...

I'll take my LP!



CD....pffft...youngsters...........mutter...mumble .....dribble....

[The Pastor]

If I could find th dudes lps or even there orgianal cds (the cd i have is a studio relased mix of songs from both hello and dudes) I would buy them. Asking for them at the counter I often get

"hey you got th dudes?"
'Yah dude what Can I do for ya'

[Krayy]

Right first time.
Whaling...

[Hitcher]

Whaling...

Technically a Dave Dobbyn song, not a Dudes one. But hey, what the heck!

[Swoop]

Farts of my vintage can vividly recall regularly seeing Th' Dudes perform at the Gluepot in Ponsonby. What an intimate little venue that was...

I believe there was a concert with Golden Harvest(?) and Hello Sailor down in Mission Bay, waaaay back...

[Storm]

Right, so what we need to do is encourage more of these old (ie good) bands/artists to come back and we can get rid of the rapping shit that currently infests radio!!! Viva la revolution!!

[kiwifruit]

Legendary Kiwi rock band Th'Dudes have announced they will reform for a 10-date national tour in October.

Peter Urlich, Dave Dobbyn, Lez White, Ian Morris and Bruce Hambling announced details of the reunion tour at a press conference in Auckland yesterday.

Th'Dudes released two albums in the late 1970s - Right First Time and Where are the Boys - and their last performance was in 1980.

Tickets for the tour go on sale through Ticketek on August 25.

Tour dates:
October 2: Forum North, Whangarei
October 3: Municipal Theatre, Napier
October 4: Holy Trinity, Tauranga
October 5: Founders Theatre, Hamilton
October 6: St James, Auckland
October 9: TSB Showplace, New Plymouth
October 10: Opera House, Wellington
October 12: Civic Theatre, Invercargill
October 13: Town Hall, Dunedin
October 14: Theatre Royal, Christchurch

Pain in the arse they're all on week nights though.

Oh sure but what about MiSex's prescience?
Who else predicted Play Station?
Com pu pu pu pu pu pu pu pu pu pu pu pu pu computer games

[Drum]

Oh boy, this should be good.

I carried Th'Dudes CD with me when travelling around overseas. Put the CD on, and it draws in every Kiwi within a 10km radius. 50 drunk kiwis singing Bliss at 3am in the morning, and pissing all the other backpackers off........priceless.

[The Pastor]

Most of my mates dont know who th dudes are :( oh wait thats a lie I dont have any mates!

:yes: :yes:


True, VERY true!

[Maha]

'Citizen Band' is another NZ group that recorded another cult kiwi song...
'Rust in my Car', with the unmistakable opening guitar riff......:rockon:
Greg Chunn was in the band, two other songs i remember are 'Protection' and 'Arobats', which was a ballard.

I love rust in my car! (never thought i'd say that...) I want to find the lyrics to the song, anyone got them?

[The Pastor]

The ticket prices are 60/65/75 for the auckland show! Thats quite a bit considering deep purple was 80-90 bucks!

But at least you going to see the original lines up at the concert, unlike Deep Purple

[The Pastor]

Deep purples lineup was orginal, they changed members a lot, but all people had been in the band at some time, AND they rocked so hard it was rocking rock hard rock so good hard rock.

mmmmmm didnt see Richie Blackmore and no David Coverdale (sp) Glover/Paice/Lord.....who was in the line up?....interested?

[Maha]

I understand what you are saying R/M about '' being in the band' at some point in time, i have seen KISS twice, first time 1980' 2nd time in 1996' with the original 4, they have had a few members over the years but cant beat Simmons/Stanley/Frehley/Criss....i guess it doesn't matter who's in a band at any one time, they are still 'who they are'....cool to see original line tho'

Im not a huge deep purple fan, I don't know the current members and I don't know the orginal orginal members. I don't care who sings or plays guitar or smashes a drum. All i care about if it is good. And they were good. Best show I've been too (only been to deep purple, the stones and some minor shitty nz bands and soon u2 and th dudes!). The thing I liked about it was they were playing very very tight. And so heavy. (I wouldn't of classed them as heavy rock before but the defintaly are!). Ian sounded so good, for an old guy and even a youngin!, and there new songs are still heavy, which is good as alot of bands get soft in there old age.

Kiss? Man I would LOVE to see them. I'd agree with you on the orgiganal members sounding best too. I have only 1 kiss cd (best of) and I played it for 3 months straight (when I had a car now I don't really have an oppertunity to listen to cds which is a bit gay). Calling dr love FOR THE WIN!

[Maha]

We are are the same wave, i wasnt shitting on D/P i had two LP's way back when.... Made in Japan and Machine Head....i love AC/DC... Bonn Scott era tho'....... would like to hear how the Dude's sound now after 26 years...:rockon:

[NC]

Oh wicked, Hello Sailor.

:rockon:

[The Pastor]

On a completely differnt note, I'd love to see the village people. So gay.

[MattRSK]

I drunk a lava lamp.

[MattRSK]

It wasn't lava.

[Hitcher]

On a completely differnt note, I'd love to see the village people. So gay.

The Village People, gay?? Tell me it isn't true...

[The Pastor]

The Village People, gay?? Tell me it isn't true...

Evidently fredy mercuary was a fag smoker too. At least thats what the internet tells me!
