From making girls cry at Murder by Death shows to covering "The Shah
Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave" in front of senior citizens, Dylan
Ettinger has always been One Rude Dude. He began his musical career by
forming the cult Northern Indiana group WTE, which went on to play
shows with bands such as Everything Now and Ari Ari. The band released
several albums and were featured on the Burning Trash compilation with
Copycat Massacre and Rupert Bomb.
After WTE's demise he began his solo project with the release of his
first album "... and the Happy Topsoil" in 2006. His songwriting
captured the heart of Midwestern America, characterized mainly by his
internal struggle of living in a culturally non-existent town. He
solved this problem by hosting many free shows open to everyone, and
encouraging other bands to spring up in the area.
"Great artists suffer for the people," says Dylan, and he plans on
suffering as much as he can throughout the rest of his promising
career. He spends his time working on an EP for Rack and Ruin Records
and also a full-length entitled "Grim Eternal Blackness." He has
shared the stage with many friends from Indiana including Murder by
Death, Drekka, Caethua, Husband&Wife, and more. Along with his two new
releases, he will be touring in December with fellow Hoosiers Kill and
Eat.
