Duke Spirit bruise up Bristol

7:48pm Monday 13th February 2012 in CDs By Harris Dee

The Duke Spirit embark on a headline tour in March, following the release of the band’s critically acclaimed album ‘Bruiser – with a Bristol date thrown in.

The five piece from London - Liela Moss, Toby Butler, Luke Ford, Olly Betts and Marc Sallis - have been touring in support of their new record, including a sell out show at London's Scala and an electrifying album launch show performed in the middle of a professional boxing ring.

‘Bruiser’ is the third album from The Duke Spirit, following on from their much lauded debut ‘Cuts Across The Land’ and 2008’s ‘Neptune’.

The Duke Spirit have also had a few adventures collaborating with the fashion world — designers Philip Lim and the late Alexander McQueen called Liela their muse.
