We are Filthy Dukes, we were djs, now we are a band and djs and also producers. It was just Olly and Tim playing records, it still is in fact, then we started to work with Mark to make music.
We have now made an album, it's out in March 2009. We have also made singles that are part of this album, some are out before february so keep an ear and eye out because they should be pretty good and will probably have some great remixes.
We run a club night called Kill Em All that has been going for 5 years, this particular disco is held at Fabric. We have had guests like Justice, Erol Alkan, Bloc Party, Crystal Castles, Late Of The Pier, Chemical Brothers, James Murphy, Jackson & His Computer Band, Zombie Nation, Schinichi Osawa, Brodinski & Simian Mobile Disco. It's a good party.
Our album, like most personal art forms is a result of our influences, these range from Tangerine Dream to Hot Chip, Can to SMD, Roxy Music to Soulwax, Hip Hop to Krautrock. You know, a bit of old stuff and a bit of modern, plus loads of other things it would take too long to list.
We have a mixing desk which was made and used by Connie Plank, he was possibly the most important German producer ever, and had a great beard. We also have a ton of old synths which we have used to make this album, Roland Juno 60, Arp 2600, Moog Voyager, Roland Sh101 plus loads of pedals, distortion units and other geeky stuff.
In making this album we have worked with a collection of artists who we really like and most of them have also played Kill Em All, you will find out who these are in due course.
Ok I reckon that's it for now, we are very excited about our album it took us ages but we love it, can't wait for it to come out, and oh yes its called Nonsense In The Dark.
The only way to hear it at the moment is to come and see our live show, we play quite a lot of it. Our live show is damn good, so you should come along.
We also have nice bags.
