About Me

The Duke is an old-fashioned yet modern rock band from Finland. The band was formed in a little west-coast city called Vaasa in the beginning of millenium. It's been a long road ever since. Some musicians and sounds have changed during the journey. It all began when Mikko had a vision to play 60's style retro pop-rock. Pretty soon the whole thing started to evolve into all kinds of directions. Everything was about to change - and it did!

Right now The Duke is creating new music all the time and probably having a gig in your hometown very soon filled with amazing tricks and 70's kind of bombastic rock cliches. Stay tuned, boys and girls!
