Amusing name for the band.  Quite a nice sound but it doesn't seem to match the year for the record.

I saw them about the same time at Bumbershoot in Seattle.  It was absolutely amazing to see how much fun they were having jammin' away

No. They are a reminder of just how damn good a band Los Lobos really is.

I love that story - wish I'd been there under those stars Think they'll play @ NOLA Jazz????hanseric wrote:
My ex-girlfriend in Baton Rouge used to know these guys and hang with them a bit when they were in town. Once we were part of about 30 people who saw them play at a friend's plantation home. You have to picture them playing on the porch of what must have been the shack where the "help" lived.

Anyway, there they were playing some down-home, just gorgeous music with us all sitting in the grass on blankets and chais.

On the right was a massive row of tables with crawfish and a keg or two of beer.

The 'dudes played into the evening and everyone pretty much crashed right there under the stars or on the floor of the plantation guy's house.

A rare and memorable moment for me.

I'd have to agree: Annunciation is simply one of the best albums I've ever heard.

The subdudes have a new cd coming out on 1/24 title Behind the Levee. I heard an advance copy and it is a terrific album. Can't wait to get one.

You can see more about the cd over at their website:

As seen at "All the Time in the World":

New year, time to straighten up some misconceptions:

Jeffrey wrote:
And no drums--that's just a tambourine.


Not exactly. The percussionist, Steve Amedee, has perhaps the most unique drumming style you will ever see. He includes a tamborine in his method, but also has some more conventional equipment as well. Very minimalist though. His style is so different that about ten years ago they put out an instructional video just to show how to do it.

* buys the CD *


Actually, if you like their sound, the CD I highly recommend getting is Annunciation. Song for song, this is one of the best albums I have ever heard. (I consider it a "deserted island" CD.) You will not be disappointed.

A buddy of mine swears these guys are THE live show...


They do put on a fantastic show, heightened by the fact that they play venues which keeps you close to the band. It's almost like they're playing in your living room. There is a very intimate/comfortable vibe between the band and the audience.

seen them twice. FABULOUS band. so much fun live. :nodhead:
so happy to hear them on RP.

did they regroup? i think they disbanded and then started calling themselves tinytown (or something) with the remaining members....but i'd love it if they were back to being the subdudes.

does anyone know?


Around 1996 the original band did a farewell tour, tired of ten years on the road and in hopes of pursuing individual projects. A few years later 3 of the 4 got back together (all but the bassist Allen - IMHO the least critical to the subdudues sound) and toured briefly as "The Dudes," although it was clearly the subdudes music. {Historical backdrop: This is around the time that the Grateful Dead sans Jerry set the fashion by playing as "The Other Ones."} Some change of heart took place and in 2002 the band reemerged as the subdudes once again, with 2 new members recruited from their old New Orleans circles to replace Allen.

Leave Michael Bolton FAR FAR FAR away from this band. :puke: Actually, don't mention them in the same sentence again or I'll track you down and smack you silly (as you should hit your "friend" with a wet noodle).

Wow!! That sounds incredible. I saw them at a free outdoor concert with Robert Cray and Shawn Colvin. Robert was good, Shawn was boring (surprise, surprise) and the Subdudes were fantastic. I had heard they broke up but have since gotten back together. They are very good live.
