Harvey, The Jesus and Mary Chain, motown music<br /> <br /> IMHO: This band follows a pretty standard and formulaic alternative British rock style, but the extra kick to their songs and Liela's raspy velvety voice got my attention. They remind me a little bit of Catatonia and Cerys Matthews, but the Duke Spirit is considerably darker and more instrumental. Very enjoyable!<br /> <br /> FAVORITE SONGS: "Lasso", "My Sunken Treasure", "The Step and the Walk"<br /> FAVORITE ALBUM: "Neptune"<br /> <br /> SEEN THEM LIVE: At Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ on Feb 15th, 2009. The Duke Spirit kicked some ass, old school fast beat rock and roll, made lots of noise and played an excellent live show! The only inconvenience is that it was a little bit too short (1 hour), but I had a blast. The stage was way too small for Liela and the band. I hope they get a better venue next time.<br /> <br /> WHAT OTHERS SAY: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 15:43:07 -0500 http://twangtone.com/b/index.php?/archives/165-guid.html
