| Additional Information | Loose Dudes were a Chicago area punk band that formed in 2009—playing their first show in October of the same year—and were active in the late aughts and early 2010s. In 2010, Loose Dudes put out a five-song album titled “Nothing To Live For” that is available on both Bandcamp and Last.fm as of June, 2025. Although the album artwork does not showcase the imagery associated with this particular button, Loose Dudes’ Facebook account highlights several images that include cannabis motifs and imagery, making them the likely culprits of this creative and comical piece of underground Chicago music history. |
