Liela Moss of The Duke Spirit!! The Duke Spirit London England’s The Duke Spirit was glad to be back in Minneapolis Friday night opening for Mercury Rev and they said so right out of the gate as they burst into their first song “Lion Rip” from their 2005 album Cuts Across The Land. It was no doubt true they had not been away long; they had last played the Fine Line November 8th. Friday was my first time seeing them live, and not really knowing what to expect I was quite impressed with the caliber of their live show. For their second song they broke into...

Liela Moss and the Duke Spirit return to Minneapolis!!!
An interview with Liela!
The Duke Spirit return to Minneapolis opening for Mercury Rev this friday Dec. 12th @ The Fineline Music Cafe. They opened for Eagles of Death Metal last month.
The Duke Spirit put on Spectacular show in Minneapolis!!
The Duke Spirit gave everything they had to please the American Rock/Metal fans. It was safe to say they exceeded all expectations and had all the fans on their feet. Liela Moss is quite the bombshell, not to mention one of the biggest up and coming rock stars in the U.K. Already I'd compare The Duke Spirit to Jefferson Airplane/Oasis/Joy Division. Liela Moss and Luke Ford met back in college and quickly formed a band that soon became "The Duke Spirit" in 2003. A guy by the name of Steve Nice, who currently still manages the band, introduced me to these guys a while back. Steve was trying to work out a show with me to bring them to Minneapolis roughly 2 years ago, unfortunately it didn't work out as travel/time became short. Luckily these guys have made it to Minneapolis and also are coming back next month to play with American sensation Mercury Rev.
This year they released one of the best records of 2008 entitled "Neptune", back in February. Track # 8, "My Sunken Treasure", is the song of the year. The funny thing is they didn't play it live and it was still one of the best all out performances. Will all be begging them to play it next time their in town.
I'll be rounding up all the music fans for their show next month. It won't be hard to bring the guys and I'll just tell all the gals Liela has super powers. Lets count down the days until The Duke Spirit arrives in Minneapolis. 32 Days! Dec. 12th @ The Fineline supporting Mercury Rev. Be There!
