  • Bio

    The Duchesses sound is the manifestation of four musicians from very different backgrounds. Their broad spectrum of influences is evident in their atmospheric music, which transcends arbitrary genres. Not satisfied with following trends, the Duchesses have forged their own unique sound. Their debut album guides listeners through a dark sonic landscape of resonating guitars, bold rhythms and dynamic vocals, all surging into intricate and aggressive harmony. During their time together the Duchesses have taken their live show to most of Sydney's top independent venues such as: The Annandale Hotel, Ruby Rabbit, World Bar, Candy's Apartment, the Lansdowne Hotel, The Basement, Oxford Art Factory and the Hopetoun Hotel (RIP). The Duchesses self-titled album was released in 2010 and is available through iTunes and Red Eye Records in Sydney. Their follow-up EP "By Morning" was launched in April 2011 to a near sell-out crowd at the Excelsior Hotel, Surry Hills and is available through iTunes. Contact: theduchesses@yahoo.com.au

    Sydney, Australia-based four piece The Duchesses have thrown our collective senses into seasonal turmoil in the best way possible. A sound that could easily find us escaping snow drifts in exchange for the warmth of a dank pub also sends us searching for our ratty old blanket from which a sweltering outdoor music festival can be enjoyed during summer months. Call it the difference between arbitrary genre-terms psychedelic and shoegaze, or the alignment of stars where both are in harmony. - Milk Milk Lemonade
