The Dualers – Melting Pot
July 28th 2006 07:58
I say play this music, but they aren’t merely playing it as part of a band in pubs and as part of festivals, having a record company looking after records and all that. They have very much paved their own way. They started their performance busking and continue to do so. They have a huge database of fans they get in touch with through whatever means to let them know they are busking. They flog their record while doing this and have sold 35 000 copies of their first two releases just on the street!
In 2004 their song Kiss on the Lips reached number 21 on the UK charts without any radio attention, but just through word of mouth!
Their new album is called Melting Pot and is being received pretty positively. The internet is probably helping them get their music to a wider audience, but there must be something inherently London about the band to have so much success without wider exposure. Just to clarify, the Dualers do pub gigs and festivals and have other bands members to fill out their sound in addition to their busking.
