Duologue

DUOLOGUE are a London based band that combine live instruments with electronics. Their live show fuses vocals, guitars, keyboards, violins and a laptop to create an intense and unique performance. They began as a two-piece, writing songs and developing their sound before finding like-minded musicians to take this idea to the stage and now perform a set where everything, including the electronics is done live.
Please check the website for more information - www.duologuemusic.co.uk. Winners of Steve Lamacq's Unsigned Band contest.
