With the final edition of The Wackers - which included Bob Segarini, Wayne Cullen, Leon Holt, Norman Vosko, and Kootch Trochim - unable to secure a new record deal, Segarini and Cullen hatched the idea for a new band called All The Young Dudes.

Along with fellow Wacker Kootch Trochim, they enlisted founding members of April Wine Ritchie and David Henman and future April Wine guitarist Brian Greenway.

Having finally landed a new deal with CBS Records, the band went into Andre Perry's Les Studios in Montreal to complete an album. But the label meddled with the mixes and had them change their name to, simply, The Dudes for their debut 'We're No Angels' and EP "I Just Wanna Dance".

A second album was being recorded when CBS dropped them from their roster leading to the band break-up. Parts of the second album made their way onto CD along with a collection of unreleased recordings called 'All The Young Dudes - All The Old Demos' in 1997.

With the April Wine alumni otherwise occupied, Segarini managed to sign a solo deal with A & M Records, issuing a 4 song EP that spun off several singles but gained no traction at radio. He hit pay dirt with Bomb Records where he released three solo albums before moving on to Anthem Records.
