San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 4, 2007 -- The Van's Warped Tour has selected the California music group The Fabulous Rudies for the entire national tour in the Summer of 2007 (see www.warpedtour.com). The band was the 2nd group announced, following the announcement of the legendary punk group Bad Religion.

With members from all over the country and a female lead singer from Germany, the band brings an eclectic mix of musical talent to the national tour. The Warped Tour founder and organizer, Kevin Lyman has said that The Fabulous Rudies are "on the crest of the next wave in alternative music." Not only is the band scheduled to play the entire two-month tour that spans the US and Canada, but they will play an important role in morale on the tour...with BBQ-ing. As the BBQ Band, The Fabulous Rudies will host the post-show cookout for the other musicians and organizers of the tour to be held after each performance day.

With the summer tour confirmed, the band has high expectations along with a new recording, to be released prior to the tour's kickoff. The Fabulous Rudies are currently shopping the CD to include new management. They have also teamed up with Laurie Champagne from GrooveRockGear.com to design a custom clothing line, RudeGear, for Warped Tour '07. More RudeGear details TBA.

The Fabulous Rudies will be dancin' on the stage through their unique mix of lively and positive music that cuts through the festival atmosphere with a political edge and a beat that will get you off your feet! Check out the music at www.myspace.com/fabrudies.
