THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SEVERAL DUDES.

When the band got its first gig in 1987, we started throwing out ideas for band names while sitting around practicing at Nick’s house in Virginia Highlands.  Nothing was tripping anyone’s trigger until someone said:  “You’re a dude, and you’re a dude and I’m a dude, we are really just several dudes” - so we figured we would use that for our first gig, sort of as a joke….Well, people liked it and so did we and the name stuck!
