Rude Rock has kept busy lately, playing five weekends in a row starting in December. They have two shows lined up for February and March, one of which, a Valentine’s Day bash, will be at Rae’s this Friday.
And live performances are really where Rude Rock’s energy comes through.
“People come up to me and say: 'You guys look like you’re having so much fun',” said Tristo Scheuerlein, who plays trumpet for the band.
She readily admitted that they do have so much fun. As did bassist John Whissel.
“When there’s a big crowd and a lot of energy, we feed off that," he said.
Live performances allow the band to stretch out the grooves that get cut short on the studio versions of the songs. They will read the audience, and play as long as there are feet moving on the dance floor.
“We just like having fun,” Whissel said.
