Marmaduke Duke are a conceptual rock duo from Ayrshire, Scotland. It is the side project of the two leading members of Scottish Alternative Rock bands, Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro and JP Reid of Sucioperro. The pair perform under the pseudonyms The Atmosphere and The Dragon when involved in the Duke.
Reportedly, the duo formed in 2003, but because of being busy with their own bands, from releasing and recording albums and touring, it took until 2005 for the bands first album (in a trio of concept albums) to be released. This album was named “The Magnificent Duke” and is 18 tracks in length. It is to be followed by Duke Pandemonium, to be released April 2009, and finally Death of the Duke with an unknown recording or release date.
The second installment of the trio of concept albums, this album seems to be taking more of a synth approach, with two new tracks on their websites, named “Silhouttes” and “Everybody Dance” but the band has also said some other tracks on the new album, which they played live will be “Erotic Robotic”, “Music Show” and “Heartburn”. The tracks are a radical new direction for the band.
The album was scheduled for release in late 2006 and a 3-track sampler CD distributed to magazines and radio stations in spring 2006; but due to the touring and recording commitments of Biffy Clyro, it was decided to postpone the record til the band could actually tour it.

Hi! If you like Marmaduke Duke, you should go to http://go.thesyn.com/twinatlantic/ and check out Twin Atlantic. This pop punk quartet from Scotland has a great authentic punk sound with bluesy vocals giving them a unique sound!

I remember seeing them play in London, it was so amazing, I loved it everytime Simon jumped out into the crowd! And "Conspiracy And A Devil" was amazing, by far my favourite song!

I would say they were the best band under Radiohead at Reading festival aswell. Erotic robotic and Skin the mofo were quality but the only bad bit was they didn't play Je Suis Un Funky Homme which is my favourite of the new album

I wish I saw them too, I felt a bit underwhelmed with FNM, but maybe that's because I put them on a pedestal and by the time I saw them i'd sobered up from Placebo and was getting a bit of a hangover haha. Still... Eastenders theme was sexy.

I wish I saw them so much but FNM were too good to even bother catching some Duke.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Duke were quite possibly the best band of my Reading weekend

Their set at Reading festival was absolutely insane one of my favourite bands of the whole weekend so glad I miss Kings of leon to watch them!

I used to Think "Duke Pandemonium" was album of the year. Now I just think it's a cool album, nothing more. Funny how our perspective of things change after a certain time to get used to them.

i really love the way 'Je Suis Un Funky Homme' blends into 'Rubber Lover'. Still, Magnificent Duke is so so so so so so so so so so so so so much better.

Duke are better live then on record by far. At the leeds show i went to my head was lying in Si's lap at one point and at the manchester show Si was climbing all over the place so the album may be "pretty lame" but lets see you go to a duke gig and not dance (or get squashed) even if the album isnt the best.
