Rude Toys Bio

Rude Toys: A powerful rock band known for creating their own uniquely original music with strong emotion, melody and undeniable groove.

A staple of the greater Boston music scene since 2002 - armed with a fresh line up and new sound Rude Toys is back with a brand new full length CD . Tammy and the boys of Rude Toys are charged up and ready to make their mark.

The Rude Toys sound is defined by the songwriting team of Tammy Schatz and Mike Myles . As lead singer, songwriter, guitarist, founder, and front-woman Tammy is both beauty and brains behind Rude Toys. Her unstoppable creative force and boundless energy come through loud and clear in her music and live performances. Whether it's raw Rock & Roll, soulful grooves or a tender love song Tammy's musical talents and diversity are a very rare find. And all that done live with the flare and confidence that reaches out and grabs an audience.

Guitarist, singer/songwriter Mike Myles has played in a number of original bands all around New England for many years prior to joining forces with Tammy and Rude Toys. Myles has his own particular playing and writing style. Both eclectic and accessible his music encompasses everything from groove heavy, riff driven rock to layered tones of depth and complexity.

Drummer Todd "Lupo" Cantalupo has recently joined forces with Rude Toys following the release of "Feel No Guilt." Todd's a rock solid and innovative drummer that brings great energy to the band. We're very lucky to have him as part of Rude Toys rhythm section.

New to the line-up in '08 is Stacy Bugg on bass. He's filled in with Rude Toys on a few gigs before, but now he's joining on full time. An amazingly talented all around musician Stacy is one killer funk bassist that will bring a whole new groove to the band.

These talented musicians and performers have joined forces to create the unmistakable sound and live experience that is Rude Toys! Find their next live show or take a listen right here at RudeToys.com.
