It is always a party when the Dudes come to Lethbridge. A sold out, energetic and enthusiastic crowd clustered in front of the stage at Scores, March 1, singing along with almost every word of every song.

And while you couldn’t see a thing if you weren’t among the masses crowded in front of the stage, nestled in the corner of the room hidden behind a huge stack of speakers, you sure could hear them.

 They had a heap of  singable melodies, and guitar hooks you could hang your hat on.

I’m not as much of a fan of the Dudes as most of the audience  was, so I couldn’t relate a set list, but I enjoyed “Girl Police” and the especially apt “Good Times,” as that was exactly what everybody was having.

“ Long Time Coming” was another highlight as it was an especially upbeat rocker. 

Most of the set was upbeat, but they slowed things down in a couple of places.
