BIO
Duchess Says was created in late 2003 by four influent members of the Church of Budgerigars who decided to collaborate together in a common musical project. Their goal was to insure a faithful representation of the message of the Duchess (or spiritual budgie) through a precise artistic dialog. Composed of A-Claude (vox, keytar, guit, programmations), Ismael (keyboard,guitar, programmations), Phil (guitar, bass,feedbacks) and Simon Says (lo-fi beats, drums and doubtful noises). Duchess Says is serving us a repertory of "moog rock" songs strong in images and enormoustly intense live performances!Their musical influences range from no wave, new wave, punk, to cinema and visual arts. If you pay attention, you could see them perform in the most unusual places such as golf courses, shop windows, vacant building sites etc.. Duchess Says has the mandate to decontextualise the rock and to promote simultaneously their Church on the way. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pour souligner les 10 ans du festival, on fait la fête à bord du Cavalier Maxim pour une croisière de quatre heures avec 2 salles et 7 DJS qui amèneront le fleuve St-Laurent à ébullition !
4 jours de festivités et plusieurs lieux à découvrir: la SCENE MEG au festival Osheaga, le Club MEG au SAINTS, le Divan Orange et le Laïka…
Vous domptiez à l'Impérial!!! Et dire que j'ai croisé Annie-Claude devant l'impérial avant le show et que je ne l'ai même pas accroché pour discuter de la Ch.O.B ou de je ne sais trop quoi :-( Ahahahah!!!
Sérieux bravo pour le show a l'impérial! J'ai découvert toute qu'un band en DS. J'espèere vous revoir bientot :) C'est assez impressionnant ! Comptez vous revenir a Québec bientot ? :)
We write angry music about rejection and misplaced friendships and yet we are the quietest bunch you are ever likely to meet. Something happens when we get our instruments out haha. As it does!
We have a wide variety of music but we are best described as Post Rock/Alternative/Indie. We don’t tend to try and pidgeon hole ourselves its just the way it seems to come out.
Anyways I know you are already a friend of the band but so often friends on myspace don’t tend to talk to each other so I thought I would just pass this message along and say that we hope your day is going well and that you can take the time to join in on our adventure.
singing was... (black flag) I can't understand what Annie Claude sings after those words and there are no lyrics online =( So, what do you/does she sing? xxx
Hello! We really enjoyed the two shows we saw here in London at DURRR and Club Fandango!!! To me you are the most relevant band since Interpol's Turn On The Bright Light - and that's a biiiig compliment ;-) Please come back to England soon!! Regards, Viviane and Robert
