The Subdudes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Subdudes are an American rock group from New Orleans. Their music is a blending of blues, gospel, funk, and R&B with harmonic vocals. Their sound is notable for the band's substitution of a tambourine player for a drummer.[1]
Current members of The Subdudes are Tim Cook, bass; Tommy Malone, vocals, acoustic, electric, and slide guitars; John Magnie, vocals, accordion, keyboards; Jimmy Messa, bass and vocals; and Steve Amedée, tambourine, drums, other percussions, and vocals. They are an American band with a rock-based sound that also shows gospel, blues, folk, country and other musical influences. Even for a New Orleans-based band, their sound is complex and diverse. However, the influences blend seamlessly and the result is as accessible as it is sophisticated. For this reason, they have an extremely faithful following. Their former bass player was Johnny Ray Allen, who has not been with the band since Live at Last. Willie Williams also contributed to the three albums: Annunciation, Primitive Streak and Live at Last as a second guitarist. Bob Dylan guitarist Freddy Koella helped produce Miracle Mule.
