13 June, 2008 - A message from Jack on the road

Hey guys,

Well here we are.........not quite sure where that is..............been driving since forever it seems. Band morale is unnaturally high, sitting at about 90%. Played three fun shows in Sydney this week. Feels good to be back into it after Sweden. Just found out Joe, our beloved bass player, has been offered a modelling contract. I will do my best to take the piss out of him at every given opportunity. Is everyone a freakin model? It was only at an mtv interview on Wednesday that I found out that Oscar, guitarist, had posed for playgirl, coming out this September. What the hell is going on here??? It's a strange world.

Till next time,

Jack, a duke.

Thanks to everyone who came to the gig last night, we had a lot of fun! The Swedish locals got to hear quite a few tracks we've never played before. We've finished tracking the new album now, Pelle and Eskil have begun the mixing process, and we are downstairs in the basement learning the new songs before we tour next month!


Biography

Dukes of Windsor found their first incarnation when Jack Weaving (vocals) and Cory Blight (drums/engineer/producer) spent several months writing songs in 2005. They soon enlisted Scott Targett (keyboard), Oscar Dawson (guitar), Joe Franklin (bass), and Dukes of Windsor were born. The band has just returned from Sweden where they recorded their second album at former lunatic asylum Tonteknik Studios with hardcore legends Pelle Henriccson and Eskil Lovstrom (Refused "The Shape of Punk to Come").
