  <bio>Rude Buddha invented a cocktail to describe what it's about. The name of the drink you ask? &quot;The Auditory Beat Down!&quot; With an energetic mix of rock, punk and alternative, Rude Buddha brings a refreshingly honest, raw and aggressive yet melodic sound that Americans are taking notice of. The band has rocked over 700 shows nationwide in the past 6 years while selling out countless venues, including Washington D.C.'s 9:30 Club and two of DC powerhouse radio station DC101's Chili Cook Offs. Rude Buddha has dropped 3 albums with combined record sales exceeding 40,000 hard copies and over 15,000 digital downloads.  Rude Buddha. It's the kind of concoction that can breathe life into your day, replace your personal feelings of fear and nervousness with confidence and swagger, or even give you the arrogance to kick that bully's ass (that includes your boss)! In summary, Rude Buddha Rocks ... Get Some!</bio>
