Sprung forth from the ashes of nothingness, Aldus is a conglomeration of members of Violets for Nikki, The GummieDuffs, and other bands. Born in the year of our Lord 2004, Aldus have already established themselves as a prominent punk band in the Washington D.C. area. Playing a wide variety of punk and rock music, it most certainly exhibits signs of greatness....or eminent doom.

Hey, either way, Aldus is happy.

2000

Chris Lindsay ( aka lazy duff), Scott Tomlenson ( aka sgt. shakey duff ), and Noah Sorah ( aka noso duff ) united in Pimmit Hills, VA to form the first incarnation of The Gummieduffs.

Without a bassist, The Gummieduffs were forced to search the local scene for the most promising available. Dan (aka thuggery duff ) surfaced

Shortly after the creation, Scott became terminally ill and returned to his parents in Omaha where he is living the last of his life the the fullest today.

2001

Soon after, Jesse Hottle showed his excessive drumming skills and joined putting Chris to rhythm guitar which he was glad to be on.

After a year of recording, playing shows, and practicing, Chris decided to leave for FL to make a new life for himself. He was replaced by Tom Godoy, an excellent guitarist from Falls Church.

Shortly after joining, tom found his musical interest falling away from the punk/hardcore aspect of The Gummieduffs and left to create his own band of smooth ska and rock.

2002

Jesse became unreliable and was removed from the gummieduffs a few months after.

Dan just disappeared...again

2004

Chris join back up and is in great form.

Also Krystal has just joined the band adding one hell of an incredible voice.

2006

As of January 2006 we have let Adam go from the band

After 4 years of losing almost all of the original members to disease or instability, The Gummieduffs have reformed as a new band now called ALDUS and have created a new sound for themselves. From standard punk and ska, they have spanned out into blues, metal, hardcore and beyond. Through all of their rough beginnings, they have now re-emerged to face the world they started in with a new out look and stance. Their Metal/Ska sound is now being released on the DC scene whatever the effect.

Also what the hell happened to 2003? And now 2005?
