About Me

Duke Challenger was formed in 2007. It all happened in an abandoned basement, where Tin Man (Carl Rogers) was playing his mighty fast guitar, and all of a sudden Duke Challenger appeared and started singing along. Together, they created some of the most memorable songs of the 21st century together, such as "Nightlife", "Moon Strike", "The Rock Show", "I’m In My Lambourgini", and "Striptease". Duke Challenger’s music is about storytelling, love, life, compassion, and the belief that maybe second chances can arise. After it was formed, Duke Challenger became a strong supporter of the Dr. Pepper Charity, which supports the American Way.

Also, since 2007, Duke Challenger has been an avid supporter of Barack Obama’s campaign for president.

Sincerely, Duke Challenger

Confession of the Duke

Ladies, I know you hate me for lying to you about all those one night stands that we we're going to have. You know, I just sometimes want to have a long lasting relationship.
