RUDY is. There is no succinct definition, just a motto: don't stop. Starting back in 1996, a group of individuals came together with the intent of jamming, having fun, and hanging out together. What started as an informal get together turned into much, much more. Evolving through the clubs and coffeehouses of the Southeastern US, RUDY became a tight-knit jam outfit, stockpiling songs out of fantastic musical hallucinations and playing them to sometimes bewildered, but always entertained audiences far & extremely wide. The core members of RUDY always gave more than expected, always played longer than thought possible, and ALWAYS gave a warm, loving hand to the fabulous people who fanatically followed them. Gaining steam at various festivals throughout Florida, RUDY won the HORDE Band to Band Combat in March of 1998, gaining a slot on the HORDE tour, as well as the 1998 HORDE Compilation CD. An oft-bootlegged band, RUDY finally decided to record a full-length album in the spring of 1998. The aptly titled "BOOTY" is a 13 song tour de force through RUDY's twisted brain, including "Brownies & Lemonade", which is also featured on the 1998 HORDE CD Compilation, as well as their HUGE hit "The Underpants Song", which has found a home on radio stations worldwide! And MTV has licensed the entire RUDY catalog to use on the soundtracks of "The Real World" and "Road Rules", reaching millions of people every time they air! Plus, RUDY has become a staple on a nationally syndicated Disney show called "Z Games", reaching kids of all ages! The "Taste the Love Tour" rolled through 2000 and along the way, RUDY won BEST FUNK/SOUL BAND at the statewide Jammy Awards! And now that they have released their long-awaited second record "SEXY," they're multiplying the booty shaking big time. "Cancun: The Reality Movie" and National Lampoon's "Van Wilder" DVD release both feature Rudy's sexy music, thrilling audiences worldwide. Plus, Kufala Records has released a double live Rudy CD so you can experience a Rudy show in your own home. Once you've been touched by RUDY, you'll never be the same!
