The acclaimed creation of New York City puppet maker Erik Sanko and designer Jessica Grindstaff, this work features a grotesque array of 15 artfully handcrafted figures in a dark comic tale unfolding in a fantastic Victorian world. There seven characters representing the seven deadly sins convene at a dead millionaire’s estate to claim their inheritance as determined by a fortune teller. One by one, each is delivered what they have coming to them, but perhaps not what they are expecting—a brutal, but suitable, demise.

"It is quite unbelievable that such a band (which would be alternative even by the standards of progressive cities like London or West Berlin) came out of hyperconservative Dublin of the late seventies."

They’ve been available from some outlets since early summer, but we thought we ought to flag up the latest pair of limited edition, 70th anniversary 10″s from Alan Vega before they disappear for good.

"everyone from the Fall, PIL, New Order, Siouxsie & the Banshees, and even Bruce Springsteen are called in for reference in a brew that is dangerous, primal, and excessive."

Duke Special is een Noord-Ierse singer songwriter met een gezonde en originele hang naar het verleden. Nick Cave, Elliott Smith, Tom Waits, Van Morrison en Randy Newman behoren tot zijn voorbeelden. Het werk van schrijver Berthold Brecht en componist Kurt Weil heeft een grote impact op dat van Duke. Niet zo gek dat in een gesprek mer Duke al gauw de naam valt van Gavin Friday, die andere Ier die al in de jaren tachtig het werk van Weil en Brecht aan de man bracht. Duke Special bracht onlangs een driedubbel cd uit. Maandag 26 april treedt hij op in Paradiso/Bitterzoet in Amsterdam en een dag eerder is Duke Special te zien op het Belgische Dranouter festival in De Panne. Zwartejas sprak begin april al met Duke Special in Amsterdam.
