TOP STORIES
Drudge Puppet is a four piece all original Metal band, reining from Chicago Illinois, formally known as Mantis. Original members consisted of Jesse Mayer/Vocals-Guitar, Frankie Pec/Guitar, Matt McCann /Drums, and Dennis Schaade/Bass. We recorded our first Demo in 2004 and thanks to our friend Scott Davidson of Rebel Radio we played our first gig. Shortly after, Matt decided it was time to part ways and we recruited our drummer/brother Joey Marino and Drudge Puppet was born. We immediately decided to record our first EP titled “Dead Mans Jig.” in early 2005. Since then we’ve been playing consistent gigs week after week. With all of our hard work we caught the attention of Timebomb Entertainment which offered us a Management Contract. So we decided to sign on. After we decided to sign on with Timebomb Entertainment our bass player Dennis Schaade decided that it was time to part ways. But with that he didn’t leave us stranded with shows hanging, Dennis promised to play as many shows as we needed till we found a new bass player. And we thank him for that! So that’s when we contacted new bassist/brother Mr. Doug “bear” Dohrn and he was more than happy to step in and take on the duty. At the same time we caught the interest of Halo Guitar Company, which offered us an endorsement deal. We decided to go with the endorsement, entering a whole new realm. This is only the beginning. With Doug Dohrn we are getting ready to go back in the studio and record another EP. The EP will include all new songs that will blow the last one clear off the planet. Our main goal is International exposure, and we will be heard! Our live show is intense and full of energy, we are who we are, onstage as well as offstage. There is no act, just the real deal. We Love It, We Live It, We Are
DRUDGE PUPPET!
