Another legendary Kiwi band is making a return. 

Though we thought they were done in 2020, Th' Dudes are performing a one-off show at Auckland’s Powerstation next month.  

They’ve got the blessing of Dave Dobbyn, who isn’t involved, picking up renowned guitarist Brett Adams of the Mockers and the Bads fame instead. 

Founding member Peter Urlich told Andrew Dickens that when they played those last songs at Spark Arena in 2020, he was looking around and thinking ‘is this really gonna be the last time we get up on stage and play these songs?’ 

“There was just this feeling inside me that I thought, oh well, you know, that’s, that’s hard to swallow.” 

He said that in the intervening four years they looked at the idea of performing again, and realised the demand was still there. 

“I just thought the love was still there, so and of course, we wanted to play.”
