It all started in late 2004, shortly after the last Blotto Boys show ever. Chris, Mike, Ryan, and Justin started jamming together and working on writing some music. It was starting to sound pretty sweet, but the band needed to find a singer... and a name. Some songs were laid down on a four track, and handed over to Curt in early January. Curt came to an audition shortly afterwards and already had lead and background vocals for 3 of the 4 songs on the tape. It was quite apparent after a couple of jams that Curt was going to be the lead vocalist. So, the band began working on writing lots of material (and ripping off some old Blotto Boys tunes). After naming themselves after a shot of Jag and Fireball Whiskey, Gudenpist's first show ever was at The Castle with the Motherfuckers on July 9, 2005. After a few more shows, the band almost had enough money to record their first EP. So, chipping a few bucks outta their pockets, they recorded Gudenpist: Volume 1 with Greg at No Wimps Productions. The necessary products were immediately purchased to make up some DIY copies of the brand new EP. Now, Gudenpist looks forward to playing many more shows, in lots of different places. "Bottoms up, we do insist. Say cheers and raise your fucking fist!"
