Inna Rude Mood: Band
Inna Rude Mood
Legends. Icons. Idols. These are words used to describe those rare bands that have been adored for a lifetime and immortalized as distinct creators of rock and roll. These reverent words don't apply to Inna Rude Mood! However, they do apply to the bands who wrote the songs that Inna Rude Mood covers.
Inna Rude Mood formed in 2000 as a boogie-to-the-max power trio fronted by two lead singers. They consistently deliver the best songs that classic rock, up-tempo blues and funk have to offer. Until 2005, the band also performed as Rude Mood, a tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble. Today, Inna Rude Mood reflects the fun-loving spirit of the beer-soaked roadhouse biker bars dotting Highway 1 near their home base of Ventura, California. With an unstoppable passion for performing great music and an unyielding appreciation for their fans, there are no limits to how much you can enjoy an Inna Rude Mood performance.
Maggi Hall - Bass & Vocal
Maggi is the Beauty in the band. She's one hot chick that rocks as hard as any male who ever picked up the bass guitar and belted out a few tunes [with the exception of Lemmy Kilmeister of Motorhead; but what's up with his hairy facial mole; can't they remove that thing that's starting to look like a second nose?]. Any Neaderthal in the vicinity of Ventura California who believes that woman have no place in rock music, needs to check out Maggi. Not only can she sing across three octaves, but she can do it all while still holding down the bottom end with her pumping bass guitar. Raised in La Cresenta, California, she began playing piano at age 9 and performed with garage bands in her teens. After earning an MBA and climbing the corporate ladder to success, she found that the ladder was leaning against the wrong wall. In addition to starting a family with some great kids (especially her husband), she learned bass guitar to form Inna Rude Mood with Scott and Ruben. Although her children grow older and mature further, Maggi remains stuck with the Beavis & Butthead humor of the boys in the band. Also, since Scott has about as much vocal range as Johnny Cash with a sore throat, it falls upon Maggi to belt out rockers originally sung by Axl Rose, Brian Johnson, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant and Bono. Although she maintains a girlish figure, Maggi carries a lot of weight in the band and proves that chicks can rattle their ovaries just as hard as any guy can rock his whatever.
Ruben De La Rosa - Drum Kit & Vocal
What superlative can accurately describe Ruben that has not already been overused by the legion of women fawning at his feet? Actually that's an exaggeration, however, Ruben remains a living legend in his own mind. That's not really true either as Ruben remains the most easy-going member of the band and therefore becomes the butt of most cruel jokes. If you don't believe that, look at Ruben's Junior High yearbook picture on this website showing his current bald head with its former unruly black hair. Neither Maggi nor Scott would ever put up their Junior High school picture for such public ridicule. Ruben can always be found at Inna Rude Mood gigs, sitting in the same place at his drum kit and shouting out backing vocals whenever he remembers to switch on his microphone. A Southern California native, Ruben has pounded his skins all over Ventura County. Ruben plays his kit with great feel that the band often takes for granted until a guest drummer knocks the crap out of every drum and fills all empty space with Neil Peartisms. Ruben brings the funk and belts it out whenever it's time to play the funky music or survey all the brickhouses in the bar.
Scott Carlson - Guitar & Vocal
If Maggi is the Beauty, then Scott must be the Beast. He plays old-school blues-rock in the style of his influences, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix and Billy Gibbons. His vocal style is a cross between George Thorogood and a bleating goat. He grew up in Beverly, Massachusetts; a town so small that they taught Driver's and Sex Education in the same car. Scott has been playing the devil's music ever since a nun taught him when he was 13. He enjoys applying the questionable linguistic skills he developed in law school to alter song lyrics. Scott's a recovering analog-tone addict with boutique tube amplifiers, stompboxes and guitars scattered throughout his house. Yet for shows, he has embraced the new flexibility of digital modeling technology pioneered by Line6 and Bose. This state-of-the-art digital gear enables the trio to more accurately cover songs recorded with many more musicians and instruments. It's old school guitar style played through new school technology.
