It was winter time 2009 and five different guys living five different lives subconsciously shared an idea. It was the coldest place on earth that day in red deer, and from the remains of projects past a band did appear.
Unclear, uncertain, way too loud and far too proud, five young, dumb, stubborn boys fought each other and together to write what they would call songs. It didn't take long the beauty of youth is imagination.
With a kick and a snare a bang, boom, crash some flyin' fingers screamin' stories the thunder rumblin' and at last “ Locked, Loaded & Ready for Bear” their first EP was unleashed.
All things considered it did quite well, but soon after the release it all went to hell. The pressures of life, gold and green sent a good set of hands north, without a paddle alone and lost way upstream. But nothing could stop that rumble, beat, and scream. The next step for these boys was to pump life back into their city's desolate scene.
“Dun Went & Got Gone” the second EP got people to shows and served quite nicely. Tonight we're "Gettin' Goonied" start the party, crush the shows, do the work, and believe in it truly. We just weren't ready to let it die.
"The North Stone” and the story continues, Dusty Tucker’s first full length album. A western tale told in twelve tracks with heroes and villains and musical movements back to back. This album feels alive and is now beginning to fester and thrive. All crowd funded by the funest of crowds, this album delivers with every listen and never lets the listener down.
The shows are growing, along with the idea. The hum is louder now than ever before like a train approaching right outside of your door. Fans young and old, the new and the dated, the dear ones that saw after us from the beginning want more. The people that doubted us wouldn’t work with us or just “didn’t get it” can no longer ignore. There is something here. There is something in the air, you can feel, taste, hear and smell it as you walk on to stage. Dusty Tucker is an idea, an escape, the band and the wagon, and all are more than welcome.
Approaching 8 years in November same goal so many members, to make something that out lives you, that people can forget their 9 to 5s, party, and just get into.
Imagine imagination. A group of boys, who formed a band, who grew to men, that still believe in - what they do… Northern Rock.
