Bio
.. .. Inspired by old time nostalgia and simpler times--these warm country sounds are a tribute to the anemic towns and people scattered across the American landscape. .. .. “Heartbeast” was recorded in Spring 2007 at Loveland Studio in Tucson with the help of Jason Merculief on drums (Sera Cahoone, The Stares, J. Tillman), Naïm Amor on guitar, Mark Pierce on bass (Zeke, Danny Barnes, Al Foul), Jimmy Carr (Loveland) on Wurlitzer and accordion, Vicki Brown on violin and Marianne Dissard on hushes and Nathan Sabatino engineering (Golden Boots). .. “Heartbeast” was mixed and mastered by Kramer (Bongwater, Gong). “From Safrom Galaxie 500 and GWAR to the Butthole Surfers and Bongwater, the musical maverick known as Kramer practically invented the lunatic fringe of alternative rock." (Magnet Magazine, 2007) .. Amy Rude has opened for The Slits, Jesse Sykes, Naïm Amor, Nicolai Dunger, Scout Niblett, Kimya Dawson, Marianne Dissard, Mirah, Ida, Howe Gelb, Gram Rabbit, Kristin Hersh... .. .. REVIEWS: .. “What makes Snakeheart and Rude so loveable resides in both the imperfection in the live feeling of the album and Rude's knack for melody and drawled delivery that makes every song ultimately hummable. Rude sounds somewhere between a female Will Oldham and a feminine early-nineties Stephen Malkmus with extreme back porch, lo-fi leanings.” (Venus, 2006) .. “Inspired by the desolate ambiance of a solitary motel in the middle of the Mojave desert, these seven songs perfectly reflect the solitude, the heat and the will to get out of it both.” (Abus Dangereux, 2007) -

lately: dirty, rusty rock and roll on the verge of falling to pieces and recovering in spasmodic glory.
