this is the half-true story of a new orleans pop rock combo of the late '70s and early '80's. of course, that means stuff by the dukes, the pseudo dukes, the monsters in transition, and anything else that fits . . .
Band/artist history
4 or five guys looking for liquor, love and laughs. . . then writing songs about it. thrown together in new orleans by hook and by crook, to play a moody, manic, almost moist music. They have a rhythm that smolders like a landfill fire, with words askew and music merry. Playing high and low, using whatever is left over from the night before, they tear into their sounds, (which are somewhat found), with an emotional ferocity few have mastered! Come see for yourself, that witty and charming band about town. . .
michael j assunto - lead vox, guitars, songwriter
frank assunto jr - guitars, songwriter, vocals
a.g. parr - vocals, songwriter, sound and manipulation
arthur brands - bass, vocals, transportation
james (bubba) clemet - up right pianny
peter marquez - north drums, amusement and shoes
Have you performed in front of an audience?
the dukes opened for many headline acts of their era; the ramones, talking heads and robert gordon are a few, and the band played a near non-stop schedule of clubs from texas to florida to the delight, (and dismay, i suppose), of many thousands of faces!
