* Itw with Liela from The Duke Spirit *
The Duke Spirit is an English rock'n'roll band based in London with frontwoman Liela Moss, Luke Ford and Toby Butler on the guitars, Olly Betts on drums and Marc Sallis on the bass guitar. Even before hearing their music i heard (and read) a lot about their fantastic, energetic live performances. The magazines that I trust wrote good things about them, people that have similar taste to mine and that are usually great references told me about their gigs, and I absolutely loved every of their records that I got in the meantime; but somehow, even if I am known to be total concert/festival freak, I keep on missing seeing them live. Finally, I saw that they are coming back to Switzerland for one show only, at the small venue in Wil, Gare De Lion. And this time, I was in the town and I decided that no matter what happens I will make it to their concert and experience them live. I was expecting a lot, and I wasn't disappointed. What happened on the stage, actually, right in front of me, was the rock'n'roll, the way it should be: raw, sweaty, sexy and seductively powerful. And even though only few minutes before the gig, I really thought that my energy levels are irreparable and that i will fall asleep somewhere in the corner and again miss the concert, with a first sound of music, the mind-blowing energy of Liela and the dudes from The Duke Spirit brought me back to my well-known Duracell mode and I couldn't stop any more. Nothing else mattered while I completely surrendered ! Few hours before the gig, i sat down for an interview with a charismatic frontlady Liela Moss. She is definitely one of the coolest and nicest people i ever met, proof that you can be über talented and still very approachable, and i really enjoyed listening to her stories in very unusual setting, out in the wilderness, near old abandon railroads covered with graffiti and with the sound of roosters in the background. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tune in to the Gimme A Beat tonight (19.03.2012), to hear all those stories from Liela as well as music from their last album, the Bruiser. I promise that you will become a fan if you are not one already. Tune in for ...
