Dog The Duke

Forming as a 4 piece (Dave Plenty-drums, Kurtis Russell-keys, Doug Evans- bass & Glenn Whitehall- vox/guitar) late in 2014 to play a short show of unfinished songs and shitty banter for an original music showcase in Bondi, the last 18 months have seen DTD add guitarist/singers Steve Tonge & Jono Lim to the lineup, play supports for Russell Morris, Marshall O'Kell, Ray Beadle and Melbourne's Chris Cavill & The Prospectors, headline shows around Sydney, make the semi's of the ANZ Bluestage series for the 2016 Spectrum Now Festival and score a slot at Surry Hills festival 2015. The band headed into Matt Fell's Love Hz studios to complete their first release "THE BREAKER EP", with singles "The Breaker" briefly snagging #1 on the iTunes Australia blues chart, and "Secondhand Blues" spending 5 weeks in the Amrap Regional Top 10. Musically the band is a "bitsa", the overall blues sound combining garage rock, funk and gritty old soul music with "great playing and killer voice" (Michael Carpenter). Blues, garage rock, funk and gritty old soul.
