Hardly Art signs The Dutchess & The Duke

The wonderful label Hardly Art (home of Le Loup and Arthur & Yu) has just signed The Dutchess & the Duke, a duo local to Seattle. The pair consists of Jesse Lortz and Kimberly Morrison, who have been involved in a number of punk/garage groups around town, including the Fe Fi Fo Fums, the Intelligence, the Unnatural Helpers, and the Sultanas. Hardly Art will be putting out the band's first album sometime later this year, but for now you can stream some tracks at their MySpace page.
