Th' Dudes

Interest in Th' Dudes never

seems to wane, even though

back in '77

we used to look like this:

Over Christmas/New Year 07/08

we went on

a tiki tour of th' old NZ holiday hotspots

and called it

"Th' Dudes Summer of Love".




Here's an album

of foties as evidence.

(A tip of th' hat to

John Nelson

for the photomagraphical help.)

There are also a few

Summer of Love t-shirts

still available

from:

In October of '06

we played a nationwide

reunion tour.



Wow!

What a blast that was!

Here's what one fan thought

of it:



We had a wild, wonderful, wicked ride too.

Added an extra week of shows,

caught up with some old friends,

and made lots o' new ones.


Here's a whole bunch

of foties from th' tour.

To help keep

Th' Dudes' legend burnished I've

gathered together some of th' bits

and pieces I've had

lying about the place for years.


First, but not least, is

th' Miscellaneous Photos section


Then there's th' Windsor Castle section,

featuring th' band in its

first incarnation

at th' glorious Windsor Castle Tavern

in Parnell, Auckland.


There's also a heap of foties from

th' old Instamatic ,

taken on tour in NZ and Oz.


And finally, there's a selection of

posters and newspaper

cuttings scanned from th' old scrapbook .


We've got writing too: a piece on

sort of how we got

started , a look at th' lads

themselves , a history lesson, a

discography, some liner notes,

and when I get

round to it I hope to add a

few stories about spending

5ive years in th' back

of th' van.


And right here you

can go back to th'

igMusic website .
