Formed in August 2004, Anarchist Duck sprung from a hole sawed in their jam room wall to create a quirky blend of hard funk-rock grooves with reggae, ska and Latin flavourings. Their sound is the lovechild of a “meeting between Blue King Brown, The Cat Empire and Sublime” and their live show is an energetic cacophony of groove guaranteed to make ya move. The Ducks pepper their sets with Carnival-esque percussion breakdowns, rhymes and occasional twisted covers.
Singer/bass player (Jules Cottone) won the $5000 Roey Idol (Broome) competition from a start of 280 people in December 2007 and appeared alongside lead guitarist/vocalist, Flawless in the Rock’n’Roll Cooking Show which was broadcast nation wide on Australian television. They secured residencies at Lock’n’Load in Brisbane, the Loft (Chevron Is), the Mermaid Tavern at the Gold Coast in 2008.
Renowned for their ability to morph from a classy roots duo with soulful harmonies to a festival-rockin five-piece complete with horn section, the Ducks never fail to woo audiences with their kooky, ‘world music’ songwriting style and peaceful messages of life, love and lawlessness.
Primary songwriters, Flawless and Jules both have solo projects as well as performing guest spots with CC the Cat. Anarchist Duck are on an Australia-wide tour from July 09 until the end of the year to promote their new album 'Propaganda' which is on sale now!! They play Corinbank Festival near Canberra in 2010.
