After 5 years, 50-ish Smell shows, a couple other local shows, and not enough tours, Bad Dudes is hanging it up. Nothing personal, we just feel like we've had too many lineup changes to continue with integrity (Gabe moved back to Portland, Chris is super-busy with Upsilon, Mike's havin a kiddo), and are just different people then we were when we started the band. We wanna do different things.
I'm sure we'll all have other projects popping up, we'll try to keep you in the loop. In the meantime, we still have all our recordings for sale. Probably best if you buy from the actual labels...we are notoriously slow at shipping stuff. Get the Eat Drugs CD from
Retard Disco,
Kill Shaman should have everything else you might want. If you're in Europe, hit up
Deleted Art,
Xmist, or
Altin Village. Of course we're still happy to sell you stuff too, if you prefer the personal touch.
A list of thanks would be way too long and corny...you know who you are. THANK YOU.
Oh, and please keep writing us if you want, we still like you.
Sincerely, Bad Dudes
