Duchess Says are from Montreal. They're described as dance-punk veterans and they headlined the second night of Wavelength Festival at The Garrison. Singer A-Claude certainly makes a strong impression with her facial expressions and jeering, taunting gestures towards the audience. She might be trying to coax a reaction, she might be trying to start a fight and she might be trying to hurt herself.
The music has a funky, art-rock vibe with enough hooks and dance-ability to keep the band and the crowd moving. A-Claude's crazy eyes and highly interactive presence mix well with the band's 80s new wave influenced vibe. They've promised new music this year, so be on the lookout.
Check out some tunes:
"Gainsbourg"
"Time To Reiterate"
"S.O.H..."
