"No matter how you cut 'em, this slightly psychedelic, boot-stomp, hip-shake, Pabst slammer band bleeds Detroit. When I think of DUENDE!, I think of a Tarantino soundtrack for a film he hasn't yet made. Dark at times but with a groovy garage savvy." - REAL DETROIT WEEKLY 3/28-4/3/07 Xiao Dong Wei plays erhu (Chinese fiddle) and Original White Panther Gary Rasmussen guests on bass and twelve string guitar. DUENDE! also recorded a version of Rasmussen’s first band the UP’s Just Like An Aborigine for a tribute to Detroit/Ann Arbor music from the late 1960’s with Dark Greene Entertainment. The recording was book-ended with a live event that was held at the Crofoot Ballroom in Pontiac, MI on October 30, 2008: “The long and loud night of rock'n'roll proved to be as eclectic as it was electric. MC5's influence was affably apparent, from the stripped-down sound of DUENDE!..” – SPIN October 31, 2008 |
