The Black Smokers are passionate about the blues tradition but hate to follow all the rules. From Alessandria, Italy, this downhome-psycho-rock-blues duo doesn’t hide their deep love for Delta Blues artists such as Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson & Blind Lemon Jefferson. More recent influences include RL Burnside, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash & AC/DC. In March 2009 we’ll be releasing their new album titled “Used” and you’ll hear guitarist Marcello “Blues” Milanese & drummer Ivano “Little Lung” Zanotti’s strong desire to keep things simple, loose and in the moment. After releasing several albums and touring extensively in Europe, they took the US by storm in 2008. Along the way, Black Smokers raised eyebrows and laid their foundation. Now armed with a brand new album, look for a triumphant return in early March (specific tour dates coming soon). Please visit Black Smokers Myspace site for updates & more information.

It's hard to believe it now, but before 1989 no band had ever combined the explosive elements of white trash culture,  Dada art and Chuck Berry.  There was a gaping hole in the fabric of popular entertainment and the New Duncan Imperials sewed it up.  Springing to life in Chicago almost 20 years ago, the band startled the club scene with its overpowering live show and reckless disregard for boundaries, confronting unsuspecting crowds with a blizzard of gloriously heavy riffage and free-association lyrics that ran the course from the Brady Bunch to Friedrich Nietzsche. 

On Tuesday, October 7th 2008 Pravda Records will proudly release the first new album by The New Duncan Imperials in nearly eight years titled "End Of Phase One".  Bristling with the kind of straight-ahead-yet-twisted songs that characterize their best work, this album reveals a band that is tough, vital, and still poking rock in the ribs.
