Bootleg Bartenders
The dust hasn’t even settled from the Open Affairs Tour, but Mad Dukez and Fresh Kils are already gearing up for the summer mania release of Gettin’ Gatsby, coming July 16 on CD, MP3 and 12” Vinyl.
While The Open Affairs EP is hitting #3 on Earshot Charts in Canada, The duo is sliding you one helluva shot with the new album’s lead single, “Bootleg Bartenders.” No chaser required for this pure imaginative lyric and beat combo. “Bootleg Bartenders” is already on the fast track to success receiving air-time across the continent as the #1 Added Single on RecordBreakers just last week.
This is a premium taste of what to expect from the full album. Dukez and Kils are channeling Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby with a modern Buffalo spin on themes of overindulgence, corruption, and infidelity. Until then, heed the surgeon general’s warning and start “sippin’ while we rock out.”
Sexspionage
Rake up the undercover glitz and glam of the 2020s with Mad Dukez as your music mixologist on the debut of Sexpionage. The idea of this twisted future evolved from the direction of Dominic Luongo, who unravels the question, “What if women became prohibited?”
“It’s an outrageous question to ask. And, it’s even more outrageous that it has answers (and that you can picture it happening, can’t you?) However, the most important answer was this one: They would revolt.”
Filmed at Buffalo New York’s Community Beer Works Brewery, the Sexspionage Seven are putting on their pearls and pulling out all the stops. From sharpening swords to poking holes in condoms to snorting glitter, these ladies are brewing chaos and calamity.
“As a musician, Mad Dukez, is also a storyteller. He finds a way to communicate his message to people without having to have it define them,” Luongo explains. “Instead of finding a way to constrict and categorize, Dukez uses an ever expanding imagination.”
Kiss and tell. It’s Sexpionage.
