The Duke Spirit is coming to America again, despite a 2006 tour that saw all their gear stolen in Portland and a broken elbow for bassist Toby Butler in Las Vegas. They are supporting their second CD Neptune which was produced by desert rock guru Chris Goss. Since the tour has no Minneapolis date, we're doing out best to bring the live Duke Spirit experience to you.

Songs performed: "Dog Roses," and "This Ship Was Built To Last."
