The Bo Dukes
Murry Hammond from the Old
97s: “And great job, too, on the recording. Most new records
I get don't live in my CD player more than a week – but it's
been a week and I'm still running through it. The lyrics are very
good. But it's not just that – the whole thing keeps me interested."
Tommy Walter from the eels
and Abandoned Pools: “This is a masterful combination of melody,
wit, and soul.”
From Los Angeles, CA, The
Bo Dukes are an infectious piano-based rock trio drawing on influences
from the Beatles to the Black Crowes to Medeski Martin & Wood.
Only a year into their career as a band, these boys have played
raucous shows all over southern California including marquee slots
at the Viper Room, the Roxy Theater, the Mint, and every place in
between.
The BD sound has been likened
to Ben Folds with a little bit of funk and Elvis Costello with a
lot of fun. Set apart from the rest of the indie-rock pack by their
combination of rowdy energy and memorable melodies, The Bo Dukes
are currently “tearing up the LA club scene” (Muzzle
of Bees) and are certainly “a great band to go check out accompanied
by a few brews of choice” (Each Note Secure). Their up-tempo
live shows have been “garnering buzz and rave reviews”
(San Diego Serenade).
The Bo Dukes are currently
celebrating the completion of their seven song demo recorded at
Grandma's Warehouse in Echo Park, CA, by Andrew Bush (Bob Dylan)
and mastered by Gavin Lurssen at the Mastering Lab in Hollywood
(Green Day, Ben Harper, and two-time Grammy winner).
