The Band was called “AKA RUDE”

ElectroWerk66 21 days ago

Its been so so long on cassette audio I would need to find them never took anything to the studio did play live in Long Island NYC early 80s

wanderer 21 days ago

got any tracks of your band?

ElectroWerk66 21 days ago

I haven’t played drums in almost 35 years. I can still keep a steady beat, but synthesizers and drum machines have been my favorite ever since playing in a synthpop band many years ago

ElectroWerk66 21 days ago

Nope, those were entered manually—carefully crafted to capture that nice industrial feel

wanderer 21 days ago
