Duck Soup

Duck Soup – The story
The Genesis
Way back in 1981 eight youngsters, inspired by the British two-tone craze and a forever lasting love for Jamaican popular music, formed Duck Soup. Soon, smartly dressed, they performed intensely in Copenhagen’s subculture-zone, playing many a gig for various types of audiences. They soon proved to be the no. 1 Danish skaband and a force to be reckoned with! Spring 1984, however, resulted in what seemed to be the final curtain for Duck Soup. The band disintegrated and the members were soon off to other musical projects and careers.
The Resurrection.
1993 saw Duck Soup back by massive public demand, and like a Phoenix, the band reassembled with the complete 1983 line-up. Music and skills were honed to a sharper, more perfect edge, and soon Duck Soup hit the roads in Denmark, with occasional gigs in Norway, Sweden and Germany. In 1997 their first album, “Planet Ska”, was released followed by “Single no.1” the following year. Indifferences with their Swedish label led to no second album, and Duck Soup concentrated the following years on playing live gigs.
The mission.
Playing live gigs, Duck Soup has always paid great attention to helping and supporting young and upcoming Danish ska-acts, giving them the opportunities to perform as “special guest” in front of large audiences, thus passing the flame and their love for ska and reggae on to the younger generations. This has proved to be a welcome start for many a Danish band and has earned Duck Soup the (possibly) affectionate name “The Dinosaurs”.
More recent and the future
In 2004 found Duck Soup back in the studio recording a new album. Not satisfied with the result, overdubs and retakes have gone on for more than two years now, proving that speed definitely slows as you age. It does seem likely, though, that Duck Soup will be hitting the streets in 2007 with their next album, thus proving the old proverb:
…….”Good music never dies, it just gets more intense”………
