Details:
After the 1997 "Monkey Chrome Electrode Flash" Tour, RUDE AWAKENING split up for a while. They got offered a tour of Holland with CIRRHA NIVA, a Dutch progressive rock band. Not wanting to turn it down, yet not wanting to return to the same old line-up, ROBERT RYDER, the bass guitarist of RUDE AWAKENING decided to completely re-vamp the band and even re-named the project "IT". He also decided to experiment with modifying the style of the band (much to the chagrin of both CIRRHA NIVA and the Dutch audiences) to a more punk sound. He chose Brendon (last name unknown) for the lead vocalist/guitar position and Andrew Light (who had filled in for RUDE AWAKENING in the past) for the lead guitar position. RUDE AWAKENING drummer TINY BUBBLES (a.k.a. Anthony Biuso now of T.S.O.L. & THE DICKIES) rounded out the new quartet. The band recorded a four song demo and this live CD of their 1998 tour of Holland. The energy and promise of this band is undeniable, but unfortunately didn't last past this explosive tour. Check it out and see if you recognize the few RUDE AWAKENING songs they do play! Members of DEMONIZER, a Dutch death metal band guest star on the last two songs!
