Duke 72 is the brainchild of Big Hogg’s Justin Lumsden and drummer Jonny Mitchell (Future of Dead Relic Memories, Bricolage, The Stranglers), and this groovy slice of funky psych was completed whilst Jonny was visiting Glasgow last year. With guest appearances from Justin’s Big Hogg bandmates Ross McCrae and Sophie Sexon, and Lavinia Blackwall (ex-Trembling Bells), Duke 72 evokes the spirit of 1970’s space rock with a Canterbury twist.
“The Mid Shires Herald” is due on February 8th 2019 through UK label Bad Elephant Music.
