Are We On The Air? The Du-Rites Get Some Press

fullsizerender1

With a budget of $0.00 and an album that doesn’t neatly fit into one genre, The Du-Rites didn’t expect a wave of media coverage. But we have gotten some ink and air time since the October 21 release (in addition to tweet endorsements from RJD2, Dante Ross, Phonte and Masta Ace). More to come, but here’s a few:

Bandcamp Feature

Stereogum Profile

WFMU Interview + J-Zone Funk 45 Set

J-Zone & Fellow Musician/Producer/Composer Pat Van Dyke Talk Du-Rites, Drums + More at Flea Market Funk 

The Witzard Interview

Convinced? Get the album on vinyl or digital download with bonus liner notes on Bandcamp. Also available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, at ReDefinition Records (vinyl), in mom and pop shops, etc. Not convinced? Shit happens!

The Du-Rites Mini-Documentary + iTunes!

So here’s a mini-doc about my funk band with longtime cohort, Pablo Martin – how we formed, the making of our debut album, etc. Done by David Saklosky of Gusto Gold Films. Hope you dig it.

And for people who have no time to deal with vinyl and tapes, The Du-Rites’  album is now on iTunes (click that). Today’s release date of October 21 was chosen purposely, as my late grandmother (“Evil E”) would’ve celebrated her 93rd birthday today. Grandma is bestowing the funk upon us from heaven. That’s all we’ve got for today. Enjoy the music!
